Hi, after removing some brick tiles from a chimney breast I found the original 1920's bricks underneath. Although they are not the best they have a lovely red tinge when wet. Is there anything I can use to bring out the colour and keep them matt? Julia
Ronseal matt varnish, this will deepen the colour.

It's not actually designed for the purpose, but I wouldn't be surprised if it worked. You'd certainly need to test in an inconspicuous area and I take no responibility if it goes wrong!

My digger driver swears by diesel oil, rubbed in.. ;-)
I'm sure he does, but what has that got to do with colouring brickwork? ;-)

I suppose he's immune to the smell by now...
Hi, Do you mind telling me if you managed to get the right colour for your red tiles. I have a cottage in France, the kitchen has old red quarry tiles. I've managed to strip the plastic coating from them after a lot of graft. As you said, "when they're wet they look good". Have you any idea's. I have a lot more to do the bathroom and toilet are the same...... ..Help
Many Thanks A. Kendrick
I would suggest red tile polish, but I expect it's a trick question.
