What resin over tarmac and concrete involves
A resin overlay is a resin bound surface laid directly on top of an existing tarmac or concrete driveway that is still sound. It is the cheapest way to get a resin drive because there is no dig-out, but it only works when the old surface is level, stable and free of active cracking.
Before quoting in Ayr 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 Ayr have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Ayr include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Ayr
Guide prices for Ayr are based on West of Scotland rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 72 m² drive in Ayr: about £2,900–£4,500 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,800–£7,700 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Ayr
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. An overlay on sealed tarmac or concrete does not drain through the old base, so the drive needs to fall towards a lawn, border or soakaway on your land, or the old base comes out for a permeable build.
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.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
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. If the weather turns on the day, we move the pour rather than risk a surface that will not cure.
