Removing paint from stone patio?

Our useless painters washed their buckets etc at the tap outside my kitchen. There is a drain outlet just on the other side of the door. They still emptied the buckets on the stone patio and let all the nasty paint stuff wash into my lawn!

Lawn is ok, but there is a white patch all along the path of the water. Right in the middle of my stone patio!

Is there any way I can get rid of the paint patch cheaply?
There is more to life than increasing its speed.

    power wash will do the trick, or you could ask the painters to come and clear up their mess

    The painters return will be useless in my view.

    Is it emulsion? or something more serious?.

    Emulsion will weather off over winter anyway, reduce the bill if you can.


    Gives reason to sealing stone flags, even when external, if it had'nt been the painters it would have been someone else.
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
