Replace Cover of Fuse Box

Slipshaney

I have the attached fuse box in my house at the moment, and wonder if its possible to (easily) replace the outer cover?

Its years old and has gone yellow over time...

Any help would be appreciated

It’s unlikely you’ll get a replacement cover now. They’re not universal. Changing the distribution board would do it but that’s not practicable/cost effective. Only a rec is permitted to work on a distribution board

I had a similar thought. I was going to suggest disposable wipes like the ones you get for cleaning a kitchen work surface. They are moist rather than using a liquid from a bottle which could be a tad risky.

A question rather than a suggestion - could you cover the plastic panels in glossy (or other) contact paper, or would that be dangerous in any way?

Thanks everyone - would it be possible/safe to take off the outer cover, and paint it?

You could box it in. Small custom cupboard. Cheap and easy to do

Unfortunately that’s against et 101.2008 regulations
