Resilient & Safety Floors
Recolour the floor you have, don’t replace it.

Handover planned around your operation
What it is designed to achieve
The alternative your flooring contractor won’t mention.
Replacing a commercial vinyl floor means capital spend, days of disruption, waste disposal and downtime. Dr Schutz PU recolouring applies a hard-wearing, colour-stable polyurethane finish over the existing floor — new colour, new wear layer, same floor, one night at a time.
A new floor, without the floor
Full colour change over existing vinyl and LVT — including fresh, contemporary shades.
Proven Dr Schutz system
A purpose-made commercial PU colour system with a durable, cleanable wear surface.
Fraction of replacement cost
Typically a small share of the cost of relaying — with none of the landfill.
Phased out of hours
Sections are recoloured and cured overnight, so the space keeps working throughout.
When to consider this service
Signs the floor needs a closer assessment.
- The floor is serviceable but permanently discoloured
- A colour change would avoid premature replacement
- Wear is concentrated in high-traffic areas
Floors and environments covered
Compatible LVT, vinyl and linoleum assessed for Dr Schutz PU preparation and coating systems.
Operational and curing considerations
Timing depends on floor condition, preparation, area size, drying or curing requirements and the access available. These are confirmed in the written proposal before work is agreed.

Questions, answered
What facilities teams ask us.
If your question isn’t covered, the assessment is the fastest way to a straight answer — free and without obligation.
How durable is a recoloured floor?
The Dr Schutz PU wear layer is designed for commercial traffic and typically performs like a new floor’s finish when maintained correctly. We provide a maintenance specification at handover.
Which floors can be recoloured?
Sound vinyl, LVT and linoleum are ideal candidates. The substrate must be intact — recolouring renews the surface, it doesn’t repair failed flooring. The assessment confirms suitability.
Can we choose any colour?
There’s a wide commercial palette, including options to freshen a space or match brand guidelines. We bring samples to the assessment.
Why choose recolouring over replacement?
Cost, speed and continuity: no closure, no capital project, no waste skips through reception. If replacement genuinely is the better option for your floor, we’ll tell you that at the assessment.
