I’ll watch this thread with interest.
We’ve recently done our back garden at huge expense, porcelain tiles, composite decking etc and it looks amazing!
To save money we didn’t do down the side of the house, we have kept the typical 50 x 50 grey slabs that came with the house (new build in 2016).
our porcelain is grey, was toying with the idea of painting the slabs grey so there isn’t such a stark contrast, has anyone done this successfully?
Thanks
I’d use something like garage floor paint and throw a bit of kiln dried sand in it to make it more slip resistant.
I’m planning to do same around a fenced off bin, shed area that has standard concrete paving down (the rest I have had resin bound surface put down)

I haven't painted slabs, but I have painted grass green. My Army days.
Every ounce of my being says painting slabs would lead to regret.

We did a large patio in porcelain tiles and budgeted just a couple of tiles round the side of the house. After 2 weeks I got the landscape gardener back to do the whole run down the side to match. One of those jobs you will always regret not doing in full.

We moved into a house with two square patios (3m x 3m). The slabs were painted when we moved in and 3 years later looked weathered so I jet washed the old paint off and repainted using standard masonry paint.
Cheap fix - have looked and don’t have any pics unfortunately but I remember being quite happy with it until about 3 days later when a bird shat on them.
