Brick Tint
Brick Tint
Stonelux Brick Tint is a permanent masonry tint designed to change, correct or blend the colour of porous brick, stone and mortar. The potassium silicate formulation penetrates the surface rather than forming an opaque coating, preserving the natural texture of the masonry and allowing it to remain breathable.
Ideal for colour matching replacement bricks, disguising repairs, correcting mismatched brickwork or changing the overall appearance of masonry, Brick Tint can be used for both small localised corrections and larger areas.
Important: Not suitable for non-porous surfaces.
Improved formulation: We have improved our formulation for better stability and absorption. Previous customers should be aware that this is not the same formulation as earlier versions of the product.
The final colour of Brick Tint depends on the original substrate colour and its porosity. Colours displayed on screen may vary due to the limitations of digital representation and individual display settings. To ensure the most accurate representation and avoid disappointment, we recommend ordering sample pots. For more information visit our colour accuracy page.
Key Features & Benefits
Colour Correction and Matching
Blend mismatched brickwork, colour match replacement bricks and disguise repairs so they sit naturally alongside the surrounding masonry.
Penetrating, Breathable Finish
Brick Tint penetrates porous brick, stone and mortar rather than forming an opaque film over the surface. The natural texture remains visible and the masonry remains breathable.
Permanent, Long-Lasting Colour
Once absorbed, the tint becomes part of the masonry surface. With no coating layer sitting on top, there is nothing to peel or flake away.
From Individual Bricks to Larger Areas
Use Brick Tint to correct individual bricks, blend localised repairs or change the colour across larger areas of masonry, both inside and outside.
Cost-Effective Restoration
Correcting the colour of otherwise sound masonry can avoid unnecessary brick replacement and more extensive renovation, saving both time and cost.
Flexible Colour Control
Brick Tint can be diluted or built up gradually, giving greater control over the finished colour and helping to achieve a closer match with the surrounding masonry.

For safety information, please request a Safety Data Sheet.
- Preparation: Before starting your project, ensure the surface is clean, sound, and dry.
- Application:Mix well before use and agitate frequently during use. Apply using a brush (we recommend a 2" brush for most bricks and a smaller 0.5" brush for mortar joints. Additional coats can be applied immediately to achieve a darker shade (do not apply further coats once dry). A lighter finish can be produced by diluteing with water to maximum 50:50 ratio. Overlapping brush strokes can result in shade variations.
APPLICATION TIPS
- Test the colour on a discreet area before starting your project and allow to thoroughly dry
- Drain any excess tint from your brush before applying to the brick to keep drips to a minimum
- Tint bricks in a random pattern rather than a row, to avoid a light to dark effect across the row
- Keep some clean water to hand to quickly clean up any spills
Available Colours
Brick Tint is translucent, so the existing colour and porosity of the masonry will influence the finished result. Colours can be diluted or built up gradually to adjust the depth of colour. We strongly recommend testing a sample on the actual surface before application. Colours shown on screen are for guidance only. For more information visit our colour accuracy page.
