Why Buy Patio Paint?Â
Outdoor patio slabs and concrete floors take a serious battering throughout the year. Exposure to frost, driving rain and UV light, combined with regular foot traffic, leads to fading, staining and surface deterioration that can quickly make a garden space look neglected. Standard exterior paints are not designed to cope with this level of wear.
Dedicated patio paint is designed to form a tough, protective coating that:Â
-
Resists moisture and the elements
-
Protects concrete and stone from erosion and surface breakdown
-
Delivers long-lasting protection and restores the appearance of your outdoor area
Many formulas also provide slip resistance, making them as practical as they are effective. Whether you’re refreshing patio slabs, concrete paths or outdoor entertainment areas, the right patio paint can dramatically transform both appearance and durability.
Our Patio Paint Range
We stock a carefully selected range of patio and outdoor floor paints covering anti-slip, hardwearing and multi-surface options. Explore our range below to find the right formula for your project needs.
Anti-Slip Formulas
Safety matters as much as appearance when painting outdoor surfaces. Our anti-slip formulas are engineered to reduce the risk of slipping on wet patio slabs, decking and walkways, combining great coverage with improved traction underfoot.
-
Blackfriar Anti-Slip Floor Paint:Â A tough, high-opacity outdoor floor paint suitable for concrete, cement, stone, wood and metal surfaces in domestic and light industrial settings. This oil-based formula contains slip-resistant aggregates for outstanding traction underfoot and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It also resists grease, oil and weak acid and alkali solutions, making it a robust patio paint for high traffic areas.Â
-
Blackfriar Anti-Slip Deck Coating:Â A solvent-based, clear anti-slip coating specifically designed for exterior timber decking and walkways. Its micro-aggregate formula delivers excellent slip resistance without altering the colour of the timber, while built-in UV protection helps the surface withstand the elements. This is the go-to choice if you want the safety benefits of an anti-slip coating while keeping a natural wood appearance on adjacent decking.
Hardwearing Finishes
For driveways, paths and patio areas exposed to regular foot traffic and tough outdoor conditions, these heavy-duty floor paints provide a long-lasting finish that holds up under heavy use.
-
Blackfriar Polyurethane Floor Paint:Â A solvent-based polyurethane floor paint that forms a tough, durable coating on concrete, cement, stone, wood and metal surfaces. This hardwearing patio slab paint delivers a reliable, long-lasting finish under sustained foot traffic and exposure to the elements.
-
Teamac Fast Drying Industrial Floor Paint: An economical, easy-to-apply single-pack floor paint for concrete, masonry, cement, wood and brick surfaces. This paint dries to a smooth, semi-gloss, high-opacity finish that seals the surface and creates an easy-to-clean floor coating. It’s most suitable for foot and light vehicle traffic in garages, outbuildings, sheds and outdoor areas.Â
Multi-Surface Paints
Multi-surface formulas are ideal for projects where you need a single paint to work across a wide range of indoor and outdoor surfaces. These formulas remove the guesswork and deliver a durable, professional finish without the need for a separate primer.
-
Bedec MSP Multi Surface Paint:Â Available in Matt, Satin and Semi-Gloss finishes, Bedec MSP is a water-based, solvent-free, self-priming paint that applies directly to exterior wood, metal, concrete, cladding, uPVC and more. The low-odour, microporous finish resists cracking, flaking and peeling, and is DIY-friendly.

FAQs
Yes. Most concrete, reconstituted and natural stone patio slabs can be painted with a suitable outdoor floor paint. For best results, slabs must be clean, dry and free from algae and moss. Apply a first coat, allow to dry fully, then apply a second coat for a long-lasting finish. Drying time between coats varies by product and temperature, so always check the label before applying your second coat.
