What Is a Resin Bound Driveway?
Resin bound surfacing has become one of the most popular driveway choices for homeowners across Norwich and Norfolk, and it’s easy to see why. It looks great, it’s low maintenance, and it’s fully permeable, meaning it meets current SuDS regulations for front garden driveways. If you want to know more about how the system works and what makes it such a practical choice, take a look at our resin bound ultimate guide before you get in touch.
Resin bound surfacing is created by mixing natural aggregate stones with a UV-stable polyurethane resin, then laying the mixture onto a prepared base and trowelling it to a smooth, even finish. The result is a hard-wearing, attractive surface that allows water to drain through naturally rather than running off. It comes in a wide range of aggregate colours and blends, so you can choose something that suits the look of your home. Because the stones are fully encapsulated in the resin, the surface is smooth underfoot and won’t shed loose stones like a gravel driveway would.
The base preparation is just as important as the resin mix itself. We always assess the existing sub-base before we start, and if it needs attention, we’ll tell you upfront. A solid, well-prepared base is what makes a resin driveway last. If you’re curious about how long you can expect your new surface to perform, our article on how long resin driveways last covers the key factors in detail.

What are the benefits of resin bound driveways, paths & patios?

They can even be installed on wheelchair ramps to complete the look of your new driveway or resin bound patio.

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.
