Repair and Share Foyle

LEGENDERRY COLOURS

Every year in the UK, 50 million litres of paint goes to waste. That’s enough to paint Derry’s walls ten times over. Most of it gets dumped, shipped abroad for incineration processing at huge cost to taxpayers, or left to gather dust even though much of it is perfectly good. Our mission is simple: rescue good paint and put it to use. By reusing thousands of litres, we help families, community groups, and DIYers get quality paint at affordable prices, while cutting waste and costs.

do you HAVE PAINT TO DONATE?

DO YOU NEED PAINT?

If you’ve any good quality leftover paint – mis-tints, returns, end-of-line stock, or even slightly damaged tins – instead of letting it take up space or go to waste, you can donate it to us.

 

Please be mindful that we are not a waste disposal company and cannot accept paint that does not meet our reuse standards. 

Alongside our free annual paint giveaways for community groups and schools, we also offer a range of quality-checked paints available to purchase from our workshop. With a variety of colours and tin sizes in stock, every option is priced at just £2 per litre, regardless of brand or size. Availability is limited, so be sure to call in early to find what you need or give us a call to discuss your needs. Our remanufactured paint will be available to purchase with tailored batch colours in the near future.  

We are proud members of the UK-wide Community RePaint network. We collect leftover paint from local household waste & recycling centres and businesses – give it a good quality check, and if it’s sound, out it goes for another round, or it goes into our paint consolidation process to ensure every drop is reused.
