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.
Before quoting in Cwmbran we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Many homes in Cwmbran have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
In Cwmbran we can price work such as adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, building a fully permeable drive on a front garden and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin bonded driveways.
Prices for resin bonded driveways in Cwmbran
Guide prices for Cwmbran are based on South Wales rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 65 m² drive in Cwmbran: about £2,000–£3,200 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £3,750–£5,800 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new base.

Planning in Cwmbran
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. Resin bonded is not permeable, so on a front garden it needs to drain to a permeable area within your property.
In Wales, new construction with drainage implications covering 100 m² or more can also need approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body (SAB). Most domestic drives are smaller than that, but larger drives and extensions are checked at survey.
General information for Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
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.
