    Hi

    My house has a patio laid earlier by the previous owner which seems to have been cement poured down and a dye put through it (a maroon colour). It was them stamped in a slab pattern giving teh impression that I have slabs but its really stamped cement.

    The dye is now well faded off and it could do with freshening up.

    Any ideas of what my options are???

    Gonna talk to local paint merchants and enquire about just painting it with a gloss paint ( for outdoor use)

    Will make it even more dangerous in the wet.
    If you want to paint it you will need to clean it very well and then look for an outdoor, industrial grade, slip resistant paint


    For what it is worth it is a concrete slab (sand, gravel, cement, water :D)
