    So I am looking to lay some concrete in the garden, stain it and
    then lay a mosaic pattern, cut along the lines of the pattern and stain the individual pieces various colors , then grout the joints so that it looks like well laid slabs of a unique pattern.

    I am looking for concrete stain that can be applied after the concrete is set. but cannot find any in Ireland
    Has anyone ever come across where I might be able to get some, preferably small quantities of various colours

    Many thanks

    I only know of the stains that are added to the concrete mix and colour the whole batch. Available in builder's providers in a good range of colours.

    Yes, they come in about 8 colours, not all suitable for outdoor use. Charcoal, pine, mahogany, greens and a couple of others. Different results with different concretes. They can look great if done properly. Not the cheapest, but worth it, in my opinion.
