Resin over tarmac and concrete across Dyfed
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.
Small cracks can be cut out and repaired, loose edges rebuilt and hollow spots filled before the resin goes down. Large failed areas, sinking, tree-root damage or a surface that rocks underfoot mean the base has to come out, and that is quoted as a new driveway instead.
Typical projects we can quote for in Llanelli include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put.
Prices in Dyfed
Labour and material costs in West Wales run below the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £40–£65 per m².
Worked example: a 24 m² drive in Dyfed laid as an overlay on sound tarmac or concrete would typically come to about £1,100–£1,750. The same area with a dig-out and new permeable base would be nearer £1,850–£3,000.
Planning in Dyfed
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.
Weather and working days
West Wales has a mild but wet climate, which makes drainage the first question on any resin job. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
