External Gas Meter Box - NLC

[PhilA]

lo

am sure someone on here might know (and maybe its obvious, but I dont know the answer).
the Gas Meter is housed in a box outside half in the wall.
House was 1983 build.
Its coming to bits - looks like fibres all crisscrossed... would that be fibreglass like our fav cars?
So, could paint it?
Or just replace it - as its Gas thinking phone Hydro (they closed today).

They charge you about £70 for a new box, not sure how much for a door for the sunken ones though?
