Terrocotta

[Fred]

I've got a job in terrocotta, a front door step. Theclient has bought a very light coloured tile and wants it to be a deeper colour and 'aged' effect!

Is there any thing on the market that does this? Cheers, Fred.

If the tile accepts the colourant to stain it, its not suitable for a Front door step. - I'am of course assumming outside work!
