Riven Paving Slabs - help with matching colour!

[lw3121]

I really hope somebody can give me some advice....

I already had Riven Buff paving slabs and wanted to extend my patio, Travis Perkins delivered the slabs, and I left the builders to get on with it, the new batch are not the Buff colour and now do not match, they are darker sort of grey colour!

Is there any sort of stain or sealant I could use to make all the slabs the same colour?? My own fault really as I should have just stopped the builders when they mentioned the colour difference, but I didn't realise it would be so obvious.

If anyone can suggest anything I would be massively grateful!

Thanks.

Not really. Its a pretty big blunder by the sounds of it.

Any kind of stain or tinting is bound to fail. Unless its a big area you'd be best to lift them and relay.

Did you order buff?

Or patio paint maybe, they do a variety of colors even a buff:

Hi I have exactly the same problem, could I ask whether the stones have match more since they were laid, or did you find a solution? Many thanks

No send them back as they were riven grey not riven buff.

Good Lord - that's exactly the same problem which lw3121 had - same supplier, same colour mix-up. Who'd have thunk it.
