How to Repair a Shattered Brick Wall With Mixed Grout

Brick can last for many years and is a good material for both outside and inside walls. However, over time the brick may become shattered or cracked. This not only detracts from the look of the brick, but if left unrepaired, can lead to greater deterioration and damage. Water can make its way through areas that are shattered or cracked and may cause damage to other locations in the home. You can repair a shattered brick wall using mixed grout and by following a straightforward procedure.

Wire brush
Plastic bucket
Small masonry trowel
Grout sealer
Paint brush

Instructions

- 1
  Brush the shattered area of the brick wall lightly with a wire brush to remove loose pieces. The goal is to make as solid a base as you can to which the grout can bond.
- 2
  Combine warm water and grout mix in a plastic bucket until it is the consistency of thick oatmeal.
- 3
  Spread the grout mix over the damaged area of the brick using a small masonry trowel. Fill in depressions and holes using the top of the trowel to press in the mix. Use the side of the trowel at more of an angle to the surface to smooth the grout and remove excess. Don't leave chunks of grout on the wall. Allow the grout to dry for 24 hours.

  Brush on a grout sealer to the repaired area using a paint brush. Completely cover the repair with sealer.
