Frequently asked questions answered
At Resin Bound London, we know that investing in a resin-bound surface is a big decision. To help, we’ve compiled answers to the questions our clients ask most often.
What is a resin-bound driveway?
A resin-bound driveway is created by mixing natural or coloured aggregates with a clear resin, then laying the mixture over a prepared base. This produces a smooth, durable, permeable surface that’s both visually striking and low-maintenance. Unlike resin-bonded systems, which use loose stone on top of resin, resin-bound surfaces are fully sealed and long-lasting.
What’s the difference between resin bound and resin bonded surfaces?
- Resin bound: Aggregates mixed with resin, creating a smooth, permeable surface that allows water drainage and is highly durable.
- Resin bonded: Resin is applied to the surface, and loose aggregates are scattered on top. It’s less durable and not permeable.
We only use resin bound systems for superior strength and longevity
How long does installation take?
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of your project. Generally:
- Site survey and consultation: 1 visit to assess the area and discuss design
- Second visit: Finalise design, colour, edging, and details
- Installation: 1–3 days for most residential driveways
- Curing: Walkable in 4–6 hours; ready for vehicles after 24–48 hours
We always ensure the resin is laid under optimal conditions to guarantee durability.
Are resin driveways permeable?
Yes. Our resin-bound surfaces are fully permeable, allowing water to drain naturally. This helps prevent puddles, reduces the risk of flooding, and complies with SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) regulations in London.
How do I maintain my resin driveway or patio?
Maintenance is minimal:
- Sweep or hose off dirt and debris regularly
- Use a jet wash annually if needed
- Optional reseal every 7 years to maintain appearance and longevity
Our team provides clear aftercare advice so your surface remains beautiful for years.
Can you match colours and designs?
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of colour options and finishes, and we can create bespoke blends to match doors, windows, roofs, or garden features. Geometric patterns, borders, curves, and even logos are possible for a fully personalised finish.

How much does a resin driveway cost?
Every property and project is different, so we don’t publish flat prices. Costs depend on:
- Surface area and shape
- Base preparation requirements
- Choice of aggregates and design complexity
- Borders or bespoke features
We provide free, no-obligation quotes after a site visit to ensure accuracy.
What is the difference between resin-bound and resin-bonded?
Resin-bound: Stones are fully mixed with resin before laying, creating a smooth, permeable, durable surface.
Resin-bonded: Resin is applied first, and loose stones are scattered on top, creating a rougher, less durable surface.
We only install resin-bound systems for their superior quality, safety, and longevity.
Can you handle commercial projects?
Yes. Our team is experienced in large-scale installations. We use heavy-duty resin-bound systems for high-traffic areas, ensuring long-lasting, practical, and safe surfaces.
Do you provide aftercare and support?
Absolutely. We stay in touch after every installation to offer advice on cleaning, maintenance, and resealing. Our team is always available for questions, ensuring your surface remains in pristine condition for years.
