Brick staining to blend mismatched brickwork

What Is Brick Staining

Brick staining is a specialist process used to permanently change or correct the colour of brickwork while maintaining the natural texture and breathability of the brick. Unlike paint or coatings, brick stain penetrates the surface of the brick, allowing moisture to escape naturally and preventing peeling or flaking over time.

Brick staining is commonly used to correct mismatched bricks, reduce patchy appearances after repairs, or modernise the look of older brickwork without covering the brick surface. When applied correctly, stained bricks retain their natural appearance and age consistently with surrounding masonry.

Brick staining is a long-term solution for improving the appearance of brickwork without compromising its performance.

When Brick Staining Is the Right Solution

Brick staining may be suitable if:

Brick staining is often used after masonry repairs, including brick repointing, to ensure a uniform and cohesive finish across the façade.

Brick Staining for Heritage and Older Homes

Many older and heritage homes were built using bricks with natural colour variations that change over time. Using paint or coatings on these bricks can trap moisture and cause long term damage. Brick staining provides a breathable alternative that respects the original construction while improving visual consistency.

Heritage brick staining requires careful colour matching and restraint. The goal is not to create a painted appearance, but to blend bricks naturally so repairs are less visible and the building retains its original character.

We take a conservative approach to brick staining on heritage properties to ensure the result looks authentic and ages naturally.

Our Brick Staining Process

Every brick staining project begins with an assessment of the existing brickwork, surface condition and desired outcome. We test colours in small areas to ensure the final result blends naturally with surrounding bricks.

Our process includes:

Brick staining is a skilled process that requires patience and experience. Subtle application produces the best long-term results.

Why Our Brick Staining Method Is Different

We do not use paint, sealers or surface coatings. Our brick staining work focuses on colour correction and blending rather than masking the brick surface.

Our approach includes:

This ensures the brickwork retains its natural appearance while achieving a consistent finish.
