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 Llanelli 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 Llanelli have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Typical projects we can quote for in Llanelli include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Llanelli
Guide prices for Llanelli are based on West Wales rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 49 m² drive in the SA15 area would be around £2,000–£3,100 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £3,300–£5,300 with a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £40–£65 per m² |
| New resin driveways (full dig-out) | £70–£110 per m² |
| Driveway drainage and soakaways | £45–£100 per linear metre |

Planning in Llanelli
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
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.
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.
