Resin Bound Surfacing & Driveway Specialists
Resin bound surfacing has swiftly become the top choice for driveways, pathways, and patio areas due to its appealing aesthetics, exceptional durability, and low maintenance requirements.
Driveline Surfacing Ltd, proudly serving Colchester and the surrounding areas, specialises in expert resin bound installations. Our experienced team ensures superior results by exclusively using BBA-approved materials. Our UV-resistant resins preserve the vibrant color of your new surface, preventing fading and ensuring long-lasting beauty.
We handle the entire installation process with precision, including the construction of a permeable sub-base with 14mm open-graded tarmac. This sub-base is crucial for the durability and performance of the resin bound surface, allowing water to drain effectively and reducing the risk of pooling and flooding.
In addition to new installations, we can rejuvenate existing surfaces by applying resin over old tarmac or tar and chip, subject to a thorough survey. This approach offers a cost-effective alternative to complete resurfacing, giving your property a refreshed, modern look without extensive reconstruction.
At Driveline Surfacing Ltd, we tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each client, delivering high-quality, durable, and beautiful resin bound surfaces. If you’re looking to upgrade your driveway, pathway, or patio, contact us today for a free, no-obligation quote and let us transform your property.

What are the benefits of resin bound driveways, paths & patios?
No planning permission required – Resin bound driveways, patios and paths are eco-friendly and anti-slip, as this permeable gravel allows rainwater to drain away and thus eliminates hazardous surface water. Resin bound surface is suds compliant meaning no drainage is required.
Wheelchair friendly – Resin drives offer a suitable solution for wheelchair users looking to improve their outdoor space. Resin-bound driveways are those that are hard, smooth, and seamless. They can even be installed on wheelchair ramps to complete the look of your new driveway or resin bound patio.
Variety of bespoke options – With over 24 different natural aggregates and a variety of resin drive colours and patterns to choose from, you can create a completely bespoke outdoor area that’s unique and eye-catching.

Resin bound drives have minimal to no weed growth which is a perfect solution for someone looking for a easy maintenance outdoor solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Resin bound surfacing involves mixing aggregates with resin and applying it evenly on a surface, creating a flat, porous finish.
It is durable, versatile, and visually appealing. The aggregate is fully covered in resin, enhancing longevity and resistance to wear and tear. This type of surfacing is also low maintenance and weed resistant. Despite sounding similar, resin bound and resin bonded are different surfacing types with distinct characteristics and uses.
Resin bound surfacing costs can vary depending on the specific requirements and size of the area of your project. If you’re overlaying onto an existing surface, prices typically start from around £55 per square metre. However, for a full installation that requires a new base, costs can increase to approximately £130 per square metre.
Yes, you can power wash resin bound surfaces. This is a great method to remove any dirt or stains and maintain the fresh and attractive appearance of the surface. However, it’s recommended to use a gentle setting to avoid any potential damage to the resin. Always ensure to sweep the surface regularly to remove any loose debris, and power wash it occasionally for a deeper clean.
Resin bound and resin bonded are two distinct surfacing systems. Resin bound surfaces are smooth, porous, and flexible due to a process where aggregate particles are mixed with resin before being laid.
Resin bonded surfaces, however, involve applying a resin layer to the surface, then spreading aggregate on top, resulting in a textured, non-permeable finish. While both are durable, the choice depends on the project’s specific needs.
Most installations take anything from 1-3 days one day being a straight forward overlay and a 3 day job being when a new sub base is installed.
Resin bound surfacing is well known for its durability and longevity. When properly installed and maintained, it can last up to 20 years. However, this lifespan can vary depending on factors like the quality of the installation, the volume of traffic the surface takes, and the level of maintenance carried out over the years.
You can usually walk on a resin bound driveway after 4 to 6 hours following the completion of the installation. However, we generally recommend to wait for 24 hours to ensure the surface is fully dry to avoid any potential damage.
It is always a good idea to consult with your resin drive installation team for guidance specific to your project.
