What resin bonded driveways involve
A resin bonded driveway is a solid base coated with a layer of resin onto which loose aggregate is scattered. The stones stick to the resin, giving a textured, gravel-like finish that is grippy underfoot. Unlike resin bound, it is not permeable.
Any resin job in Gloucester starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Drives in Gloucester range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Across Gloucestershire, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Gloucester
Guide prices for Gloucester are based on South West rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Worked example: a 36 m² drive in Gloucester laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,350–£2,100. The same area with a dig-out and new base would be nearer £2,500–£3,850.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |

| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £50–£75 per m² |
| Dropped kerb applications | about £1,000–£2,500 per crossing, set by the highway authority |

Planning in Gloucester
In England, a new or replaced hard surface of more than 5 m² in a front garden is permitted development only if it is porous, or if rainwater drains to a lawn, border or soakaway within the property. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
Permitted development rights apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, and some conservation areas have Article 4 directions that remove them. Listed buildings can need consent if railings or historic walls are affected.
General information for England, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
The South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
How it works
The steps are simple: guide price, free survey, written quote with a fixed price once the specification is agreed, then a date that suits you and the weather.
