Default Crumbly bricks

In a victorian terrace that I am renovating, there are a few extremely dry crumbly bricks underneath the stairwell (there is concrete ground floor and no visible damp anywhere. Posts on this site suggest PVA or fibre-resin. Can anyone add to this and recommend one. I want to paint the wall inside the cupboard white and make sure if anything garzes the wall that half the bricks don't fall out!

thinned pva, plenty of it so it soaks well in & doesnt glaze. Don't
worry about getting it soaked, it'll dry out. Then you can fill &
paint, once its dried out properly.
