How much does a porcelain patio cost?

Question

We're replacing a tired concrete slab patio, roughly 20 square metres, and quite fancy porcelain. Is it much dearer than Indian sandstone once laying is included?

Anthony · Answer

You’d be looking between £110-£200 per sqm depending on cost of new slabs and levels ect

think porcelain is a bit more expensive than Indian sandstone once you factor in the laying, especially if you’re looking at a nicer porcelain. For 20m² though, I wouldn’t have thought the difference would be massive — maybe £500–£1,000 extra depending on what you choose and how much work is needed to prep the existing slab.

Indian sandstone does have the advantage of coming in different sized slabs, which can give it a more eye-catching and natural look. The downside is that because the slabs aren’t all exactly the same size, the joints can vary quite a bit, usually around 10–20mm. Personally I’d probably go for porcelain if the budget allows, but it really comes down to the look you prefer.
