Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph on $n$ vertices with maximum degree~$Δ$. Brooks' Theorem states that $G$ has a $Δ$-colouring unless~$G$ is a complete graph, or a cycle with an odd number of vertices. To recolour $G$ is to obtain a new proper colouring by changing the colour of one vertex. We show an analogue of Brooks' Theorem by proving that from any $k$-colouring, $k>Δ$, a $Δ$-colouring of $G$ can be obtained by a sequence of $O(n^2)$ recolourings using only the original $k$ colours unless $G$ is a complete graph or a cycle with an odd number of vertices, or $k=Δ+1$, $G$ is $Δ$-regular and, for each vertex $v$ in $G$, no two neighbours of $v$ are coloured alike. We use this result to study the reconfiguration graph $R_k(G)$ of the $k$-colourings of $G$. The vertex set of $R_k(G)$ is the set of all possible $k$-colourings of $G$ and two colourings are adjacent if they differ on exactly one vertex. We prove that for $Δ\geq 3$, $R_{Δ+1}(G)$ consists of isolated vertices and at most one further component which has diameter $O(n^2)$. This result enables us to complete both a structural classification and an algorithmic classification for reconfigurations of colourings of graphs of bounded maximum degree.
