patio slabs stained by jointing slurry

    I Just had a very expensive mint sandstone patio laid, and to my utter dismay the slurry (the most expensive, and best I was told), has stained the slabs. Attached is a photo as an example. It seems to be just a stain as opposed to residue. I have attempted scrubbing but to no avail. It is worth noting that it seems to be just one section that is affected, and the same guy did the whole patio, so I am thinking that this might be an issue with a specific bucket of the slurry mix. Wondering if anyone has seen anything like it. Should I be going back to the supplier to figure out how to fix it?

    How long is it laid?
    If it still looks that way after a week or so then you could always wirebrush the area.

    Think it's the residue in the rompox. Should fade. Nice work done in my opinion

    to be honest you can mention it to the mason,

    he will have seen similar before,

    he obviously takes pride in his work and i'm sure he'll want you to be 100% happy with it,:)
