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 Newbury we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Newbury mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Berkshire, the projects we price include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and building a fully permeable drive on a front garden. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Newbury
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 52 m² drive in Newbury: about £2,600–£4,100 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £4,350–£7,000 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Newbury
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. 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.
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.
