Repointing is something that professionals can do for you when your bricks have been weathered down over time. What happens is that voids appear in the joints between bricks. The result, aside from looking shoddy, is that issues begin to appear, such as letting in water. If nothing else, this is a hazard because it weakens and compromises the structural integrity of the walls, chimney or whatever structure you are working with. By having this process done, you can have a stable structure again, for years to come.

Simply put, brick pointing is removing old mortar and replacing it with new in order to make it look better, but also to provide you with a safe and secure wall again. So how does basic brick pointing compare to tuckpointing? Tuckpointing is a similar process but uses two contrasting colors of mortar in the joints of the brickwork. One color is traditional mortar color and the other is one that is the same color as whatever bricks you are working with.

The purpose of doing this is to make the bricks look better and create the impression that fine joints have been made. All of this still works to create stability, enhance the appearance and corrects defects and finishes off joints for newly laid masonry. Finally, spot pointing, as the name implies is the process of doing the same thing but on a smaller scale. The way you spot paint for touch up work, you spot point for small corrections or brick repairs.
