Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer 5L is a specialist water-based black impregnating sealer designed to restore faded dark grey and black natural or artificial stone paving while providing long-lasting protection.
Particularly useful for faded black limestone, the treatment penetrates into the paving to deepen and revive lost colour while helping protect against weathering, staining and further fading. It is suitable for dark limestone, marble, slate, concrete pavers and other compatible dark grey or black natural and artificial stone surfaces.

Restore Faded Black Limestone Paving
Black limestone can gradually lose its original deep colour through exposure to sunlight, rain and general weathering, causing paving to become lighter, faded or grey in appearance.
Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer is specifically designed to restore depth and richness to faded dark paving, making it particularly useful for black limestone patios where a deeper black appearance is preferred.
The treatment also seals the surface, helping provide ongoing protection after the colour has been restored.
Black Limestone Sealer & Colour Restorer
This product combines colour restoration and sealing in one specialist treatment.
The black impregnating formula penetrates suitable paving surfaces, darkening faded stone while helping protect against weathering, staining and further loss of colour.
This makes it different from a clear natural-finish stone sealer, which is intended to protect paving while making minimal change to its existing colour.
Suitable for Dark Grey & Black Stone
Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer is intended for faded dark grey and black natural or artificial stone.
Suitable materials include:
- Black and dark limestone
- Marble
- Slate
- Concrete pavers
- Compatible dark natural stone paving
- Compatible dark artificial stone paving
Always test a small inconspicuous area before treating the complete surface to make sure the finished colour and appearance are suitable.
Important - Permanently Darkens Stone & Jointing
Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer is a permanent staining treatment.
The product deliberately darkens the paving surface and can also darken grout or jointing materials. Once applied, the resulting colour change can be very difficult to remove.
Always carry out a trial application on a small inconspicuous area before treating a complete patio, path or paved surface.
Up to 150m² Coverage from 5L
Pavestone states a maximum coverage of up to approximately 30m² per litre, meaning the 5L container can cover up to approximately 150m² on suitable low-porosity surfaces.
Actual coverage varies considerably according to the porosity and texture of the paving, the amount of product absorbed and the number of coats required.
As a general guide:
- Low-porosity / honed surfaces: up to approximately 150m² per 5L
- Medium-porosity surfaces: approximately 75m² per 5L
- High-porosity surfaces: approximately 37.5m² per 5L
Ideal for Larger Patios & Paved Areas
The 5L container is particularly useful for larger black limestone patios, pathways and landscaped areas where multiple litres of treatment are likely to be required.
For smaller areas, localised restoration or trial applications, the Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer 1L may be more suitable.
How Many Coats Are Required?
The number of coats required depends on the existing condition of the paving and the depth of colour required.
Pavestone allows additional coats to be applied at approximately 2-hour intervals, up to a maximum of 3 coats.
Assess the colour after each application rather than automatically applying the maximum number of coats.
How to Apply Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer
Shake the container thoroughly before use and always test a small trial area first.
Ensure surrounding surfaces that are not being treated are adequately protected.
Apply a small amount of product evenly to the paving using a suitable soft cloth or sealer applicator.
For rough-cut or textured paving surfaces, apply using a foam roller or suitable paint brush.
Allow the treatment to absorb and dry before assessing the colour. If further darkening is required, additional coats can be applied at approximately 2-hour intervals, up to a maximum of three coats.
Application on Smooth or Honed Stone
When treating honed or smoother surfaces, take particular care to apply the product evenly.
Any excess sealer should be worked off using a soft cloth rather than being allowed to pool or dry unevenly on the surface.
Drying & Curing Time
Do not walk on the treated paving for at least 4 hours after the final application.
Allow the newly treated surface to cure for approximately 24 hours before returning it to normal use.
Follow Pavestone's current instructions regarding final cleaning and checking that the treated surface is colourfast before allowing normal traffic.
Application Temperature
Pavestone advises that Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer should not be applied when surface temperatures are below 5°C or above 25°C.
Choose suitable dry weather conditions and always follow the current product label and manufacturer instructions.
How to Restore Black Limestone That Has Faded Grey
Where black limestone has become pale, grey or sun-bleached, the paving should first be thoroughly cleaned and allowed to dry.
Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer can then be applied to suitable paving to restore a deeper, darker appearance while providing a protective sealing treatment.
Because the treatment permanently changes the colour of the surface, always test a small area first to confirm the finished appearance before treating the entire patio.
Black Stone Rejuvenator or Natural Finish Stone Sealer?
Choose Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer when dark grey or black paving has faded and you deliberately want to restore and deepen its colour.
Choose Pavestone Natural Finish Stone Sealer where the main objective is protection while keeping the existing colour and appearance as unchanged as possible.
The Black Stone treatment intentionally changes the colour, so the two products should not be considered interchangeable.
Black Stone Rejuvenator or Colour Enhancing Stone Sealer?
Pavestone Colour Enhancing Stone Sealer is intended to enrich and intensify the natural tones of general natural stone and concrete paving.
Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer is a more specialised treatment developed specifically for faded dark grey and black paving and uses black pigmentation to restore a considerably darker appearance.
Preparing Paving Before Sealing
The paving should be thoroughly clean before treatment so that dirt, staining and organic contamination are not sealed into the surface.
Where required, clean the paving first using a suitable Pavestone patio cleaner and allow it to dry properly before applying the Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer.
Existing sealers or coatings that could prevent the treatment from penetrating the stone should also be considered before application.
Ideal for Patios, Paths & Dark Paved Areas
Pavestone Black Stone Colour Rejuvenator & Sealer 5L is particularly useful for larger areas including:
- Black limestone patios
- Garden patios
- Dark natural stone pathways
- Terraces
- Dark stone landscaping
- Concrete paved areas
- Large weathered or faded paving projects
Storage
Store the container upright in a cool, dry and frost-free environment.
Pavestone states an unopened shelf life of up to two years. Once opened, use within approximately six months for optimum results.
