Question sent from a reader: I have a large concrete driveway that has obviously been enlarged over the years and pieced up with mortar at various points. Consequently it’s a mismatch of colours. I was thinking about painting or staining the driveway with exterior paint or concrete stain, assuming I can find any here in the UK, and sealing it the same day using a concrete seal?
Would such a process be effective or would I be wasting time and money?
Here’s our expert’s answer:
It won’t be miraculous buy it will be effective.
We have a waterbased stain that will color everything including your sneakers. Very potent.
Acid stain may not be as effective with different surfaces and patched areas.
