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.
Before quoting in Bridgend we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Bridgend mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Mid Glamorgan, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and framing a golden blend with charcoal granite setts. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Bridgend

As a guide, a 31 m² drive in the CF31 area would be around £1,250–£1,950 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,050–£3,300 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Bridgend
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
