Protecting exposed brick....

[Atlas]

Hi all,
theres a brick on the front out our house, that is broken, in that the face of it has come off and the inside is exposed. Given that this is a victorian house its to be expected I guess...

I was wondering if anyone knows of a seal or something (preferable transparent) that I could paint onto it to protect it from the elements/water?

Thanks

The problem you will have is that water is going to get around any face coating and still continue to blow the face off the brick

If its just part of the brick, you could smudge some [dyed] mortar over it, but anything other than replacement (or turning the brick around) is only temporary
