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 Witham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Homes in Witham range from period properties to modern estates, each with its own drainage and access questions.
In Witham we can price work such as turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Witham
Labour and material costs in the East of England run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
As a guide, a 52 m² drive in the CM8 area would be around £2,550–£3,950 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,200–£6,750 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Witham
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 East of England is the driest part of the UK, which gives a long resin laying season, though heavy clays in places mean the sub-base needs designing for slow drainage. Laying days in Witham are confirmed close to the date, because rain and cold stop resin curing properly.
How it works
