Refurbished Shipping Containers for Sale and Container Refurbishment Services

Looking for a secure and affordable storage solution? At S Jones, we supply high-quality refurbished shipping containers that are watertight, structurally sound, and available at up to 25% less cost than new (one-trip) containers. 

With over 40 years of experience, our team restores used and second-hand containers to extend their lifespan and improve their appearance. Whether you need storage for business, construction, retail, or personal use, a refurbished container offers excellent value without compromising on reliability. 

Why Choose a Refurbished Container?

Refurbished shipping containers offer secure, practical storage at a lower cost than buying new.

Each unit is restored to be wind and watertight, structurally sound, and ready for use, with options to tailor the finish and features to your needs. 

  • Cost-effective alternative to new containers 
  • Wind and watertight, durable and secure 
  • Refurbishment levels to suit your budget (from repaint to full restoration) 
  • Delivered nationwide across Great Britain 
  • Lower environmental impact as refurbishment extends the life of an existing container (reduces the demand for newly manufactured steel)

Sizes Available 

We stock refurbished containers in 10ft, 20ft, and 40ft sizes, plus high cube options for extra height.

All are available with fast nationwide delivery.

What about the damage to corner castings and posts?

Shipping containers are handled by heavy machinery such as HIAB vehicles and container lift trucks. As a result, corner posts and castings often show scrapes or scratches. These are unavoidable signs of use but have no impact on the strength or security of the refurbished container. 

What’s the difference between a used and refurbished container?

A used container is sold as-is, showing wear such as dents or rust. A refurbished container has been professionally repaired, repainted, and treated for durability, often with added security upgrades. Refurbished containers look smarter, last longer, and offer better value than standard used containers, making them ideal for secure storage. 

Will a refurbished container look as good as new?

Not exactly. A refurbished container won’t match the flawless finish of a new one-trip unit. Instead, our team repairs damage, treats rust, and repaints the worst areas to deliver the best balance of durability, appearance, and value. Repainting every inch of a container could make it more expensive than buying a new unit, so our process keeps costs down while giving you a watertight, secure, and smart-looking container. 

Will a refurbished container still have dents?

Yes, even after repainting, refurbished shipping containers may show some dents or corner post markings. This is normal for used containers and does not affect performance. Our skilled repair team focuses on the most noticeable areas, ensuring the container looks professional, while our specialist repaint protects against corrosion.
