Paint Containers – Secure, Reusable Tubs, Buckets & Tins for Mixing, Storage & Transport
Our selection of paint containers supports a range of everyday painting, maintenance, and coating preparation tasks. Designed for practicality, these containers help improve jobsite efficiency by reducing clutter, enabling batch mixing, and keeping workspaces clean. Ideal for trade and DIY use alike, they offer an effective solution for transferring paint from bulk containers into manageable, portable units.
Available in plastic and metal options, our containers come in a variety of shapes and sizes - from small touch-up pots to larger mixing tubs and lidded tins. Each is manufactured to withstand common paints, varnishes, primers, and sealers without degrading or distorting. This makes them suitable for both short-term project work and longer-term storage of unused product.
Many containers feature snap-fit or twist-lock lids to minimise spillage and air exposure. Some designs also include handles or grips for easy transport and pouring. Clear or semi-translucent plastic versions make it easier to see fill levels and product colour at a glance, while metal tins provide enhanced protection against UV or solvent evaporation.
Whether decanting a 5L tin for wall and ceiling paint work or storing colour-matched paint for future touch-ups, these containers offer a flexible, durable, and cost-effective solution. They're especially useful for maintaining control over paint quantities and reducing contamination risks across larger sites or phased application jobs.
Paint Containers FAQs
Can I store solvent-based paints in plastic containers?
Only if the container is made from a solvent-resistant plastic such as polypropylene. Some plastics may soften or degrade when exposed to solvent-based coatings, so it’s important to check compatibility before use. Metal tins are often a safer option for long-term storage of solvent-based products.
Can I reuse paint containers for other products?
Yes, provided they’re thoroughly cleaned and the new product is compatible with the container material. Residual paint or solvent can affect the performance of different coatings, so containers should be fully emptied and rinsed before reuse. Avoid mixing water- and solvent-based products in the same container.
Are paint containers stackable or suitable for transport?
Yes, many paint containers are designed with stacking or nesting features, and include lids that stay secure during transport. For best results, always keep containers upright and check that lids are firmly sealed to avoid spills when moving between locations or vehicles.
