Product Information

Bostik Patio Grout is specially formulated to provide an attractive, hard-wearing, easy to use alternative to traditional cement mortar. In over 15 years of laying professional block paving installations, we’ve had to find suitable joint fillers for all kinds of projects, from small slate patios to 4-car cobblestone driveways. We’ve developed a wisened understanding of which jointing compounds work best for just about any job!

It’s perfect for footpaths, patios, pavements and driveways whether you’re repairing existing features or laying new ones. The fast drying time does that, but it does mean that you have to work quickly when applying the grout granules by brushing them on and removing the excess. By the end of this review, we’ll let you know whether Bostik patio grout is the best option for your next paving project. We’ve made the Sika FastFix All-Weather Self-Setting Paving and Jointing Compound our Best Pick of patio grouts for these reasons and for the thousands of positive online reviews it’s received.

It’s suitable for filling and sealing joints between 5mm to 30mm in width and a minimum depth of 25mm in a range of domestic paving and hard surfaces including slate, stone, concrete, clay, terracotta and more - whether they are new or reclaimed.

Once applied, it sets firm without shrinking or cracking, providing a strong barrier against weeds and producing a seamless finish.

They’re also quite an expensive grout and are more commonly used for indoor areas like showers rather than large spaces like patios. Welcome to my site, my name is John and I have been lucky enough to work in horticultural nurseries for over 15 years in the UK. We’ve found that joints filled with Bostik paving grout can last upwards of 5 years without suffering severe damage, provided that you’re regularly sweeping and cleaning the area, saving you loads on the regular re-sanding associated with a dry-sanded block paved patio! We’ve found that Bostik paving grout is an incredibly versatile joint filler, suitable for use in almost any block paving installation, with no risk of staining thanks to its cement-free formula! It takes between 6 and 36 hours for the grout to ‘surface set’ and can take up anywhere from 10 – 48 hours to fully cure.

Once you’ve brushed the bulk of the product into the slabs, use a hose to wash any remaining grout into the cracks. You may need to keep the paving very wet as you apply the product, or simply apply it straight from the packet. I also recommend looking for grout that can be applied in various temperatures , from as low as 5°C. As a resin product, you apply the sand-like granules by sweeping them over the patio, making sure they go into the gaps between the bricks or stones.

There are five colours to choose from, so it’s easy to pair the grout with your existing paving slabs.

The resin and hardener will need to be mixed together in the correct ratio so that the grout will set properly. The photo for EASYJoint Premium Sweep-In Paving Grout appears on a number of web pages for different sellers, each with its own positive reviews. This does involve kneeling down on the patio and being careful to wipe up any excess that gets onto the bricks/flagstones/tiles. Sika FastFix All-Weather Self-Setting Paving and Jointing Compound is a resin grout suitable for your patio.Patio grout prevents weeds from popping up between slabs, reduces water damage and stops your paving from moving. Most of these types of grout state that you can even apply them in wet weather – useful in the UK summertime. Sika setting sand is cheaper than Bostik paving grout by weight and can be used in block paved drives with narrower joint widths of 2-5mm, though block paving set with this material will need to be soaked and left to cure for 24 hours before holding weight.
