    Anyone done this? If so what product did you use/ how did you do it?

    I saw ‘U Can’ brick repair on the B&Q website however my local branch didn’t have it.

    Have you any spare bricks that colour


    I've repaired say 12mm holes mixed in crushed brick with an exterior filler. It's not perfect but it was hard to notice, on the front of the hole I've pushed on a large chip of the same brick , held in by the crushed brick filler mix.

    Thanks; had read about that technique and seems popular so will give it a go.

    4 holes about 8mm and one more the corner of the brick rather than a hole (old doorbell was stuck on it so assume came away when old owners removed the bell).
