Pipe connection corroded
and leaking
If your pipe connection is leaking, your tank isn't secure – with potentially dangerous results. An industrial tank liner can cover the weak points surrounding your pipe connection and ensure it remains safe and watertight.
Tank roof corrosion
If your tank lid is corroded, we can repair from it from inside or outside the vessel as needed. And if the necessary, we can replace your tank roof entirely, so your tank will be back in action, fast.
Holes created by chemical corrosion
Chemical attacks can lead to wall thinning and breaches, which risk contamination of the contents of your tank. We will grit-blast the interior of your tank to create a suitable surface and then apply a GRP lining mixed to the right specifications for the tank's contents.
Failed joints causing leaks
and corrosion
Sectional tanks can be prone to leaks in the joints. We will specify the right industrial linings to stop any leaks keeping your tank leak-free.

- Savings – no need to replace your tank
- Durability – 20+ year lifespan
- Seamless – no weak joins

Tank lining repair guide
Industrial tanks house a variety of liquids from chemicals to effluent – but because most of them are constructed from steel and concrete, they are also subject to rust, corrosion and erosion.
Over time, a tank's original structure can deteriorate, causing problems such as cracks, leaks and failed joints – which could lead to dangerous spills...
That's where a tank lining comes in. A GRP lining is economical, versatile and hard-wearing – effectively creating a tank within a tank.
It provides a stable, chemical- and impact-resistant structure within your existing tank, extending its useful life by more than 20 years.
By choosing a GRP lining instead of replacing your damaged tank, you can also save up to 80% on your costs.
What kinds of tanks can be repaired?
Fibreglass tank linings from Sui Generis can increase the longevity of tanks constructed from any material – including concrete, steel and polypropylene.
Our industrial linings can contain most kinds of liquids, from toxic or corrosive chemicals right through to aviation fuel and alcohol. Some of the tanks we can line for you include:
- Sectional water tanks
- Process water tanks
- Portable water tanks
- Liquor tanks
- Effluent tanks
- Water treatment tanks
- Sprinkler tanks
- Diesel tanks
- Fuel oil tanks
- Gas oil tanks
- Fertilizer tanks
- Chemical storage tanks
- Offshore applications.
Why choose fibreglass tank repair?
Because its tough, hard-wearing and handles normal structural movement well – which is especially important for concrete structures.
A GRP tank lining is also thicker than an ordinary epoxy coating. Where the latter is only a 0.5mm barrier, a fibreglass tank lining is between 2mm and 6mm thick.
It can also be used to line over cracks, corrosion and thinning tank walls – giving your tank a new lease on life and you lasting peace of mind.
Moreover, each lining is individually mixed using resins and additives to meet the needs of your tank and what its contents.
Are there other benefits to GRP tank linings?
Yes. A GRP lining for your tank will also be:
- Corrosion Proof
- Chemical resistant
- Leak free
- Impact resistant
- Flexible
