Tikkurila 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 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.

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.

Excellent stuff - goes on quite watery, multiple coats needed.

Excellent product. Bought it to bring some life into some slate split face tiles I had installed on an external wall 4 years ago. They were looking pretty sorry for themselves but one coat of this was amazing. Will let it dry for a few days and then give them a second coat. I wasn’t sure how much to order so went for the 3 litre tin. It is a stain and not a paint so it is like painting water onto the wall. After one coat it looks like I’ve hardly took any out of the tin. Very happy with this product👍👍

Pressure washed patio which was dirty manky pink slabs. Rollered 3 coats leaving 24 hrs each time (should've done another really) then 2 coats of sealer. To say it has transformed the garden is an understatement. Looks amazing. Very runny so it's absorbs in. Did entire path around house also. Does flake off so NOT a stain at all. After a couple of months this is susceptible to flaking due to sticky garden leaves or moving furniture. 2 stars removed.

Our back yard is 125 years old and over the years has become terribly stained , we have 4 dogs so we’re constantly hosing and cleaning . We are delighted, this stuff doesn’t budge it’s been down a week now and is hosed around 8 times a day and upto now it’s not budged . It’s going to need a second coat but this stuff is great at tidying an old back yard up . Just so you know it’s a stain not a paint and is of a water consistency so it spreads out really well with a brush . EDIT Fast Forward 3 months , it’s ok but it is coming off in the heavy traffic areas not completely yet but I think in another 3/6 months it’ll be virtually back to how it was , such a shame as it looked soo much better . If you don’t have to hose down frequently after dogs I think it would fare much better .

I used this to match in the patio pointing which had loads of varied shades as repairs had been done over the years. It is really excellent, very thin, so a little disconcerting to begin with, but covers very easily (mortar needs to be completely dry). After a while it goes to the exact shade and although it does not tally block out the existing colour, it really blends even significant mis-matches.
