Patio Paving Stain - for Garden Concrete Stones & Slabs - Water-Based - 1 Litre

Lovely stain, much better effect than painting slabs. It has saved me a lot of money as I was thinking of putting in a new patio but it has brought my old patio up brilliantly so don't need to now. I'm now thinking of using it on my block paved drive. I have since done part of my driveway black EK04, ordered more as it needs another coat, I will then put kiln sand in. The product is watery but its better than paint. Excellent stain but a little pricey. Edit: I have now finished my drive and it looks brand new. Neighbours have stopped me and said it looks great, asking what Ive used. Just hope it lasts a while esp with the British weather. Here is the before and after. I used EK07 and EK04.

Tikkurila patio block paving dye. Well, whenever you try something new you are always are a bit dubious about how it will turn out I must say I’m impressed, there was a bit of a learner curve in how to apply it but I got there in the end After jet washing and leaving to dry I pained the edge with a paint brush (photo 1) this was all I did the first day as I ran out of time The next day using a roller I applied the rest of the 3 litre can, I was a bit disappointed as I used it all up very quickly and it was a bit patchy (photo 2) the roller just absorbed all the liquid I then sent for 10 litres so had to wait a couple of days for this to arrive, in this time I decided the edging which I did with a paint brush was a much better finish So over the next 3 days I painted the remaining driveway and also went over the area I did with the roller The finished driveway looks superb and I would recommend this product very highly. But be prepared you might need to put in a bit of hard work, maybe a sprayer would have been easier but it was quite windy when I did it and I thought it might be a bit messy See the final contrast between before and after (photo 3 ) I’m just hoping that it lasts as it looks so good. Good product, reasonably priced 5 stars so far

Brilliant product welll worth the money. Absolutely transformed my garden. Thanks

Good product that stains not paints the slabs. Sandstone colour was a good match to (original colour of) slabs, red was a little too bright for the original red/pink bricks. Stained slabs 3 times, bricks just once in August 2024. Pleased with results and slabs have generally survived this winter after removing dirt and green mould.

The colour is fine and it does the job but when I received it, the lid was warped as it had clearly been opened and product had leaked.

Easy to use and good natural colour.

I have had a sunburst stone circle in the garden for years and the outer grey edges had badly faded. I applied one coat of this paving stain. It is quite watery so went a long way and because I did this on a hot day, it seemed to soak in very quickly and I could walk on it within 10 minutes. I am really pleased with the outcome and it has revived the stone circle completely. I will see how it holds up after rain but I still have over half a tin left so can always apply another coat.

Have to say I was a little sceptical to start with, but was glad I went ahead with the order, we have now repainted all of the edging for our patio (6 ltrs) and it looks amazing The one thing I would advise is that we found that 2 coats was best to really make it amazing and then seal it afterwards
