What resin bound driveways involve
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.
Any resin job in Eastbourne 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. Plot sizes and existing surfaces vary a lot across Eastbourne, so the survey comes before any fixed figure.
In Eastbourne we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Eastbourne
Labour and material costs in the South East run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
For a 58 m² drive in Eastbourne: about £2,900–£4,550 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,850–£7,800 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Eastbourne
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
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 East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. 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.
