Hi, I'm installing new roller blinds. The problem is that I need to drill new holes into the brick with existing screw holes because the bracket size is different. What filler can I use to fill in the existing holes and maintain the strength of the brick? Thanks.
Hi @kiv777,
Thank you for your question about filling holes in bricks.
I'd suggest filling the old holes with Earl's 1kg Concremate Expanding Cement. This is a shrink-resistant concrete filler that would be perfect for this application.
If you had terracotta bricks, you could also use Mortafil 450g Terracotta Mortar.
Let me know what you think and if you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Jacob
Thanks Jacob, any tips on how to squeeze it into the horizontal holes without a dispensing bottle?
