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 Shrewsbury we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Drives in Shrewsbury range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
In Shrewsbury 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 turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin bound driveways.
Prices for resin bound driveways in Shrewsbury
Guide prices for Shrewsbury are based on West Midlands rates, which are close to the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 53 m² drive in Shrewsbury: about £2,400–£3,700 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,000–£6,350 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin bound driveways | £45–£120 per m² |

| Driveway drainage and soakaways | £50–£110 per linear metre |

Planning in Shrewsbury
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 West Midlands is close to the UK average for rainfall, and much of the region sits on clay that holds water after wet spells. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Shropshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
