Patio Paving Stain - for Patio Stones, Driveways and Slabs - 3 Litre

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.

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 .

It looks good. Can't say how it weathers yet as it's brand new. 3 coats though. You need 3 coats in all honesty so it better weather well or I'll be fuming. I bought a 1ltr tin to do a whole circle paving area and it's done 3 coats. Not applying it too thick. Letting it soak in each time as it's supposed to be a stain and not a paint. Also stain beige/buff is a lot lighter than the picture says. Id say more a light cream

Consistency of the paint is very thin, almost like a water so easy to paint. I like how it is a stain rather than a paint, which i think takes away the character of the brick (paint). Thanks to other reviewers i was able to select the colour i liked, i picked Ek07 and i love how it looks, not too pink or red, just the right colour of brick. Mine definitely needs a second coat.

This is a great product, but I made a mistake with the colour. We have disgusting bright pink slabs and I wanted them a pale grey. I ordered the lightest grey stain and it arrived in 2 days. We jet washed the old slabs and I started painting them yesterday. A roller was no good as they are very textured slabs so I ended up using a brush. We have 47 slabs and id ordered the 3l tin. After 1 coat you could really still see the pink, so I'm now on my 2nd coat, and as you can see from the photo, the pink is still showing, so now we have purple slabs. I've just reordered a 3l tin and I've gone 2 shades darker, in the hope that it will do a better job covering the pink. So if you have very pink slabs, go dark, as the light one won't cover it.

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.

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

Remember the first coat takes more stain and the big tins are not full 3 ltr But it is a good product easy to use and clean equipment
