One of the most noticeable issues after a home extension or repair is mismatched brickwork. Even when using similar materials, new bricks can look visibly different due to age, weathering, or manufacturing variation. Thankfully, brick tinting offers a highly effective and lasting solution—without the need to replace any brick.
Brick Makeover is a leading brick tinting company in the UK, specialising in bringing harmony back to brick façades. Their professional brick tinting service allows property owners to unify new and old bricks by carefully adjusting the colour of the masonry to create a seamless, natural finish.
Unlike paint or surface coatings, brick tinting uses breathable, mineral-based stains that soak into the brick’s surface. This ensures that the brick retains its natural texture and porosity, allowing it to “breathe”—a crucial factor in preventing long-term moisture damage. The finish is permanent, UV-resistant, and designed to age naturally with the rest of the wall.
Each project begins with a thorough consultation by an experienced brick tinting specialist, who carefully examines the brickwork’s colour, condition, and absorbency. From there, a custom colour mix is hand-blended to match the surrounding bricks exactly. This bespoke approach is what makes the results so effective—even close up, the tint is virtually undetectable.
This service is particularly valuable in conservation areas and on listed buildings, where planning authorities often require that any exterior changes remain in keeping with the building’s original character. As a highly experienced brick tinting company, Brick Makeover regularly works on historic and heritage properties, helping clients meet aesthetic and regulatory standards.
Beyond the visual benefits, brick tinting is also a practical and cost-effective alternative to brick replacement. Replacing entire sections of wall can be expensive, time-consuming, and disruptive. Tinting allows you to correct colour inconsistencies without demolition or structural interference—saving both time and money while reducing material waste.
This environmentally friendly approach makes it a top choice for developers, architects, and eco-conscious homeowners. By restoring rather than replacing, brick tinting services support sustainable building practices without sacrificing quality or appearance.
With hundreds of successful projects completed across the UK, the team at Brick Makeover has built a strong reputation for professionalism, craftsmanship, and flawless results. Their brick tinting specialists bring deep knowledge of brick types, colour variation, and tinting technique to every job, ensuring the final outcome is visually perfect and structurally sound.
