Resin bound driveways across Ayrshire
A resin bound driveway is a surface of natural stone aggregate mixed with clear polyurethane resin and trowelled by hand to a depth of around 18 mm on driveways. Every stone is fully coated, so the finish is smooth, has no loose gravel, and lets rainwater drain straight through it.
It is not a cure for a bad base. Resin bound copies whatever is underneath it, so cracks, soft spots and failed edges in the old surface come straight back through. Most of the survey is spent deciding whether the existing tarmac or concrete is good enough to overlay, or whether it needs digging out.
Across Ayrshire, the projects we price include swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put, replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car.
Prices in Ayrshire
For the West of Scotland, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
Resin bound driveways: £40–£105 per m².
For a 63 m² drive in Ayrshire: about £2,500–£3,900 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,200–£6,750 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Ayrshire
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area within the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
Weather and working days
The West of Scotland is one of the wettest parts of the UK, which makes permeable driveways and careful laying-day planning especially important. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
