I had some slabs from a friend, they are pretty solid - but
to continue the garden work I started buying the Peak Grey
slabs, which look great at first. Unfortunately I can't get them
clean from the rain, it seems hard-soaked into the slabs, despite
trying rather expensive cleaners. Have a sealer ready, which I
only learned off long after laying them, but is there any way
to get them back to good looking? Wish I'd chosen the more costly
slabs now, Peak Riven, I think they're called. Brownish.

Confused! Are you saying that concrete has soaked into the slabs? If so I don't know how you could
salvage them. Or are you saying the rain has marked them? If so take them back and complain, unfit
for purpose.


Sorry, I should have made that clearer - there are dark marks
randomly over the slabs where the rain has got in.

Actually, I'll get a screenshot available at the weekend.


This is probably the first question uk.d-i-y will ask
