How Much Do Resin Driveways Cost?

One of the most common questions we get at Vuba Surfaces is: How much does a resin driveway cost? Whether you're planning a full installation or just an overlay, understanding the pricing breakdown is crucial. The cost of a resin bound driveway depends on several factors including your existing surface, location, and desired finish. 

What Affects the Cost of a Resin Bound Driveway?

The price of a resin bound driveway installation typically depends on:

• Existing driveway condition
  

• Base requirements (e.g. sub-base, permeable base)
  

• Total area in square metres
  

• Choice of materials (such as Vuba Topping and VubaMac Base)
  

• Edging patterns and borders
  

• Installer rates and regional pricing
  
  

Basic Resin Bound Driveway Costs

Here’s a general estimate:

• Overlay on an existing driveway in good condition: £60–£80 per m²
  

• Full installation with sub-base and resin surfacing: £120–£160 per m²
  
  

These are typical industry rates, but real prices can vary depending on specific project requirements and local labour costs.
