The ChallengeUnfortunately, the bricks supplied for building part of a property in Derbyshire were the wrong colour and had already been laid before the client could intervene. The only cost-effective alternative to demolition and starting again was to re-colour the bricks, so Martin Boatman Property Ltd called upon the expertise of Plastic Surgeon to find a solution.

The Fine Finisher involved chose to tint the bricks in-situ but, upon closer inspection, discovered that they were dirty as well as damaged.

The SolutionAfter cleaning and filling the damaged areas, Plastic Surgeon was then able to carry out its renowned Brick Tinting process, colouring them to exactly match the silver bricks utilised for the construction of the rest of the property. Plastic Surgeon’s brick tinting process involves applying new colours to existing masonry, using a variety of bases; it is able to replicate any of the brick collections currently available through UK suppliers, or even old weathered elevations.

Plastic Surgeon Case Study:

Martin Boatman Property Ltd

The ResultThe customer was pleased that the whole project had turned out so well – and the fact thatit was impossible to discern the colour difference between the original bricks and the tinted ones. Additionally, repairing rather than replacement is a more environmentally-friendly solution, thus helping Martin Boatman Property Ltd reduce its carbon footprint.

Sustainable RepairsAt the same time as providing clients with a comprehensive cosmetic repair service addressing virtually every type of product and substrate, Plastic Surgeon is also addressing important aspects of the sustainability agenda. For while

the company’s ethos of ‘repairing rather than replacing’ represents a saving of approximately £3 for every pound spent, this approach also significantly reduces waste going to landfill and therefore helps cut a customer’s carbon footprint. Uniquely, Plastic Surgeon has developed its VisibilITy software which translates each Finisher’s job report, sent from their hand-held computer, into the equivalent weight and other statistics on a data base that participating customers can utilise for their own sustainability reporting.
