@scott_diy: Limestone patio stained 😢 Cant beleive this has happened! Somehow the primer used for the floor in the kitchen, which is bright pink, has worked its way through the protection to the limestone patio underneath. If anyone has a suggestion for removing the stain, please let me know in the comments 🙏🏻 #patio #garden #stain #ukhomerenovation #homerenovation #DIY #renovation #homeimprovement
I think if you grind it down with like a diamond buffing pad then smooth it off it should go

I dunno if you ended up fixing this but I have these slabs and they mark all the time. I use industrial power degreaser on them and it seems to get anything and everything out. 10mins & hose off

Might need a steam cleaner to try and get below and lift the stain...other option is somehow lift without breaking and flip it if the other side is viable

That sucks man. It's so porous that I don't think you can scrub this out. If you not wanting replace the slabs. only thing I can think is try and stain it again with a white substance.

try buffing them.down with diamond pads mate if they are a smooth finish, it could have sunk deep into the stone though so test 1-2mm

It’s porous so will have gone deep, if not right through. Try turning or they need replacing 😳

Hi Scott! Sorry to hear the troubles ! Was it sealed after laying ? Limestone quite porous so needs sealing ideally , acid based cleaners and a hard brush worth a good go.

Scott, leave it well alone for now. It may be a mould that now exposed will naturally bleach out in a few months. The colour may be coincidental but I would need more info.

Don't worry bud! Part of the story. Keen to find out what you do. What they like when dry? Buy some replacement slabs now and have them in the weather in case you need to replace

Leave till spring as over winter the slabs/stain might weather out… if not replace them

Happens mate, welcome to the trade 🤣 you can put chemicals down but limestone will flake away and could make it worse as it’s so brittle, break the two out and replace
