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.
Any quote we prepare in Colwyn Bay says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Colwyn Bay have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Colwyn Bay include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive 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 Colwyn Bay
For North Wales, where typical costs are below the UK average, these are the ranges we would expect before seeing your property.
As a guide, a 61 m² drive in the LL29 area would be around £2,500–£3,900 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,150–£6,650 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Colwyn Bay
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. 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.
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
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Clwyd, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
