Re: repair old garage brick walls

Hello @Honest52 

 

Thanks for sharing your question about painting your garage brick wall. I just wanted to be clear that there is no plaster on your brick wall. If it is just plain bricks, I suggest getting a bristle broom and sweeping the surface free of dust and debris. To fill the holes in the bricks, I recommend using Selleys 440g No More Gaps Bricks and Mortar Gap Filler. For chipped or cracked surfaces, I suggest Polyfilla 500g Exterior Brick and Render Masonry.

 

You'll need a paint brush to paint the mortar in between the bricks and a paint roller to cover the flat surfaces. Dulux Wash and Wear is suitable for internal masonry surfaces. However, you'll first need to apply a coat of Dulux 1Step Prep Primer, Sealer, & Undercoat to seal the brick wall.

 

Here are some helpful step-by-step guides: 

 

 

 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
