At Tank Lining Services, we specialise in the process of applying a protective coating to the interior surface of a storage tank to prevent corrosion, chemical damage, and leaks. 

The lining creates a durable barrier between the tank material and the stored substance, extending the tank’s lifespan and ensuring safe containment of water, fuel, chemicals, and other liquids. 

As unlined tanks are prone to rust, contamination, and deterioration, professional tank lining services help maintain structural integrity and regulatory compliance.

Why Is Tank Lining Important?

Tank lining is essential for preserving the longevity and safety of storage tanks. 

Over time, exposure to chemicals, fuel, water, and extreme temperatures can cause tanks to degrade, leading to leaks, contamination, and costly repairs. 

By applying a specialist lining, tanks remain structurally sound, environmentally safe, and compliant with UK regulations. 

Since proper lining prevents corrosion and reduces maintenance costs, it is a cost-effective solution for industrial, commercial, and water storage applications.

When Should Tank Lining Services Be Used?

Tank lining services should be used when a tank shows signs of internal deterioration, such as rust, cracks, leaks, or chemical damage. 

Lining is also recommended as a preventative measure for new tanks exposed to harsh environments or aggressive substances.

How Long Does Tank Lining Last?

The lifespan of a tank lining depends on the type of coating, environmental conditions, and maintenance routine. 

High-quality linings typically last 10 to 20 years, with some advanced coatings providing longer durability in harsh industrial environments. 

Regular inspections, cleaning, and minor repairs help extend the lifespan of a lined tank, ensuring continued protection against leaks and corrosion.

How Much Does Tank Lining Cost?

The cost of tank lining is £500 for small tanks to £10,000+ for large industrial tanks. 

The cost of tank lining depends on the tank size, lining material, surface preparation, and complexity of application. 

As lining prevents expensive repairs, environmental fines, and premature tank replacement, it is a cost-effective long-term investment. 

Since every tank has unique requirements, a detailed quote is provided after an assessment.

What Are the Benefits of Tank Lining Services?

Tank lining services provide long-term protection, structural integrity, and regulatory compliance, making them essential for industries that store liquids and chemicals.

Key benefits include:

• Prevents Corrosion and Leaks – Protects tanks from rust, chemical reactions, and structural damage.
• Extends the Lifespan of Tanks – Reduces wear and maintenance costs over time.
• Ensures Compliance with Safety Standards – Meets industry regulations for chemical, fuel, and water storage.
• Resists Chemical and Temperature Damage – Suitable for extreme industrial conditions.
• Reduces Contamination Risks – Maintains the purity of stored liquids, including drinking water and food-grade substances.

What Types of Lining Materials Are Used?

Common lining materials include epoxy coatings, polyurethane, polyurea, rubber linings, and specialist chemical-resistant coatings. 

For potable water, WRAS-approved linings are used to meet UK water safety standards, while fuel and chemical tanks require solvent-resistant or acid-resistant coatings.

How Long Does Tank Lining Application Take?

The application process for tank lining usually takes one to five days, depending on the tank size, type of lining, and curing time. 

The process involves surface preparation, coating application, and drying/curing to ensure a strong, long-lasting bond. 

As some linings require multiple layers and specialist curing times, the total duration may vary.

To minimise downtime for businesses, professional tank lining services offer fast-drying solutions and flexible scheduling.

Is Tank Lining a Legal Requirement?

Tank lining is required in many industries to comply with UK environmental and safety regulations, including the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regulations. 

Businesses storing fuel, chemicals, or potable water must ensure their tanks are leak-proof and corrosion-resistant. 

Since failing to maintain storage tanks can result in regulatory fines, safety hazards, and environmental contamination, tank lining ensures full compliance with UK standards.

Can an Old Tank Be Lined Instead of Replaced?

Tank lining is often a cost-effective alternative to tank replacement, restoring damaged or ageing tanks to full functionality. 

If the tank’s structure is still sound, applying a new lining can prevent leaks, reinforce weak areas, and extend its service life without the expense of full replacement. 

A professional tank inspection determines whether lining is a suitable option.

Can Tank Lining Be Applied to Tanks in Use?

Tanks must be emptied, cleaned, and prepared before lining can be applied. 

Once cured, the tank can be returned to service, often within a short timeframe depending on the coating system used.

What Types of Tank Lining Are Available?

Different types of tank linings are designed to protect against corrosion, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear, ensuring long-term durability and compliance with industry standards. 

Epoxy tank linings are commonly used for industrial and fuel storage tanks, offering high resistance to chemicals, water, and oils. 

Polyurethane linings provide a flexible, impact-resistant coating, making them ideal for water, oil, and wastewater storage applications.

Rubber linings are highly resistant to abrasion and chemical attack, making them suitable for chemical processing and industrial tanks. 

Glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP) linings offer high-strength corrosion protection, frequently used in water and chemical storage facilities. 

Cementitious linings are designed for concrete tanks, providing waterproofing and structural reinforcement for both potable water and industrial applications. 

Since each type of tank lining is suited to specific storage requirements, a professional assessment ensures the best solution for long-term performance and protection.

Why Choose Us for Tank Lining Services?

We provide expert tank lining services for industrial, commercial, and water storage applications, ensuring long-term protection against corrosion, leaks, and chemical damage. 

Because safety and durability are critical, we use high-quality lining materials and advanced application techniques to extend the lifespan of storage tanks. 

Since compliance and cost-effectiveness matter, we offer professional assessments, tailored solutions, and minimal downtime during application.

Can Tank Linings Be Applied to Existing Tanks?

Tank linings can be applied to new or existing tanks, restoring older tanks to meet current safety and operational standards. 

As preparation is essential, we conduct thorough cleaning and surface treatment before application.
