How to fix holes in bricks/ mortar video. I had watched another video but that man expected you to match colors of brick by adding colored brick powder repair. He also said to remove wall anchor. The DIY Guy made it so much simpler, easier, no extra expenses. Well worth watching and following his advise.

I wouldn't have thought to hammer in the screw plugs. And drilling for brick is brilliant. I have big gaps where gas and electrical pipes have been drilled to install, maybe because a poor job was done and maybe brick chunks fell out over time from settling, vibration and such. I can adapt your procedure for the larger gaps and hide the repairs with brick dust from each area to match better. Thanks for the video!

Once the cement repair has set, paint on a little wash made up of garden soil/earth and water, and rub it in gently with a finger to help age the repair. Alternatively, if you have any around, dap the repair with fresh (as in moist) manure. The chemicals in manure will help age the repair. That's two of numerous other methods.
@darinsmith9468

Indeed. I remember as a student in university, a century-old building had an addition added. To blend the new brickwork with the old, they had a crew spray manure solution with pressure washers onto the new section, and feathered a bit onto the old. They let it bake in the sun for a week or two, and then pressure-washed the entire building, old and new. It matched extremely well.

A 10/10 how to tip! I recently removed a sink waste external pipe and had half a brick hole. This tip came in handy to fill the hole. I used a spare brick to drill into for brick dust and then using a paint brush and water, brush along the mortar lines for a nice mortar/brick edge. By the way, SF stock a 5kg tub of ready mix mortar .... simply add water.
@steves1460

Good idea. Maybe I’m missing the point, but a smaller drill bit will easily remove the plug without the need for screwing and hammering to sink it into the brick.

Alternative option for brick dust - slide back a roof tile to expose the top of the brick work - chip off a piece of the inside edge of the brick work, Place the chip in a bag and gently crush using a hammer so instead of powder, there will be fine granules which may match the texture of your brickwork.

Have loads of these holes in my brick work. Probably due to so many different owners over the years. Looking forward to doing this job and the sense of satisfaction I'll get when completed. On the coloured the brick work. I had to angle grind splashes of gloss paint that some moron threw up the side of the house before I bought the house. Grinding it off left some nasty marks on there. To darken it down I dabbed some peanut oil on there and let it soak in. Not perfect, but s lot less noticeable than before.

Was hesitant to drill holes for my outdoor TV mount as it requires 4 fairly large holes. This will be just the ticket but I'm going to save the dust from each of the two bricks when I drill the holes and label them for use later. I have a special box where I store labeled parts and other items that may be needed years later so I'll hopefully be able to find it.

I did this and it relaly helped and made for a good look my bricks were old though and the dust looked new. So if it helped anyone eles there's a product called 'liquid weather' comes in a red spray bottle spray itnot half a coke can and use a very small paint brush or makeup brushes to rub it on the surface. Do it in layers slowly let one layer dry and check the next day and keeo going till its dark enough, if you lay it on too thick too fast it still looks good but ita almost too dark 👍

I’ve used chips of brick along the walls (there are often little chunks of brick along an exterior wall) that can simply poke into the hole. A ball peen hammer, the ball end, works to tappity tap and bust up the plug. Just something I did in a recent doorbell replacement for someone. I didn’t like the previous holes that showed, so I searched a bit and found a chip of brick in the brush. Similar to using toothpaste (I know, bad form, being that I’m a pro, but I was once a renter and had small holes that the paint alone wasn’t going to ‘disappear’.) or similar. 😂

Good tip! Just an addition, after you have drilled out the hole, blow out the dust and give it a quick spray with water. This allows better adhesion of the new cement and stops the dry porous (possibly warm) brick from sucking out all the moisture from the new cement which can lead to new cement cracking and potentially falling out further down the line
