Resin Driveways Bristol - Local Resin Driveway Specialists

A resin driveway blends natural stone with resin to create a smooth, durable surface. Resin bound means the stones are mixed into the resin before laying, giving a flat, drains-through finish. Resin bonded involves scattering stone over wet resin, creating a textured top layer. Both resist weeds and stains - but bound is popular for driveway use.

Resin bound driveways have a seamless finish and let water pass through, thanks to the mix of resin and aggregates. Resin bonded ones are applied differently and have a rougher, non‑permeable surface. Bind is ideal for aesthetics and proper drainage; bonded works well in areas where grip matters.

Yes - resin bound driveways let rainwater soak through the stone layer into the base below. That keeps surface water moving away and helps prevent pooling or flooding.

No - most resin bonded surfaces don’t absorb water. They sit on a sealed surface, so you’ll need drainage built around the installation if water runs off.

For resin driveways Bristol customers can expect to pay roughly: £120-£250/m² for resin bound and £80-£120/m² for resin bonded driveways. Exact pricing depends on size, ground prep, edging, and access.

For typical 30-80 m²  resin driveways Bristol customers can expect installation to take 1-2 days, depending on prep and base condition. Resin sets quickly and can usually be walked on within a few hours and driven on within a day.

When installed correctly, resin bound driveways typically last at least 15 years, often longer. Resin bonded driveways may need surface topping over time as loose stone wears off - more upkeep is required.

Yes - both resin systems can be laid over flat, stable existing surfaces like concrete or tarmac driveways, as long as they are properly prepared and primed first.
