Mrs Hinch fan completely transforms drab patio using £20 B&Q paint

A woman has completely transformed her old, drab patio for just £20 thanks to some special B&Q paint - and people can't believe how big a difference it's made.

Sharing shots of her patio before and after on the Mrs Hinch Made Me Do It Facebook page, she explained her paving slabs had become worn over the years.

But rather than shell out for a new set - she set to work revamping them instead.

The woman headed to B&Q and picked up a £20 pot of self-cleaning masonry paint - in the Hudson colour - and set to work.

First she scrubbed down her existing brickwork - making sure it was ready for the new paint, then it was just a case of getting the patio painted and waiting for it to dry.

But when she shared her efforts on social media, people couldn't believe the scale of the transformation.

The woman wrote: “Painted my slabs... they look so much fresher now.

“Just needs a decent furniture set

“Masonry paint £20 from B&Q.”

Hundreds and hundreds of people liked the post, many adding in their comments on how impressed they were.

One wrote “This is a good idea never thought of doing this.”

A second: “Looks lovely.”

A third said: “They look great.”

Another wrote: “Gorgeous nice and fresh.”

It's not the only impressive garden transformation we've heard of in the past few weeks either.

Becca Menzies transformed her Sussex scrubland into a catalogue worthy garden by shopping around for cheap products and reusing old materials.

Meanwhile Dad Nick Smith turned his back garden into an actual waterpark, to help keep his children occupied while schools are closed.

And after being quoted too much to turn her run-of-the-mill driveway into an outside space she can use, mum Rochelle Dare took matters into her own hands to stunning effect.
