How to repair a brick letterbox?

Someone ripped off the back of our brick letterbox. Should I use silicone or glue

Re: letterbox repair

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Christine12. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a letterbox.

Would it be possible for you to upload some images so our members can better understand the repair you need to make? Let me know if you need a hand posting images.

 

It sounds like the frame section of the rear door has been separated from the bricks. If so, I suggest using Selleys 350g Liquid Nails Heavy Duty or Sika 290ml Sikaflex®-118 Extreme Grab Construction Adhesive.

 

Were any fixings involved in the attached, or was it only glued on?

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: letterbox repair

no fixings that i can see, just glued on, will liquid nails secure the frame on the bricks? 

I will attach images when i get home tonight

Re: letterbox repair

The heavy-duty version I linked to will, @Christine12. It's designed for use on metal and masonry surfaces.
