Resin over tarmac and concrete across Gwynedd
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.
Across Gwynedd, the projects we price include turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface, widening a drive into the front garden for a second car and adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage.
Prices in Gwynedd
Labour and material costs in North 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.
For a 57 m² drive in Gwynedd: about £2,350–£3,650 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £3,900–£6,200 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
Planning in Gwynedd
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
North Wales ranges from mild coastal towns to wetter upland areas, so drainage and laying days are planned with the weather in mind. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Bangor jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
