Resin over tarmac and concrete across the Isle of Wight
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.
Projects we quote in and around Newport include replacing tired block paving with a permeable resin build, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface.
Prices in the Isle of Wight
Guide prices for the Isle of Wight are based on South East rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
Resin over tarmac and concrete: £50–£80 per m².
Typical the Isle of Wight figures for a 62 m² drive: £3,100–£4,850 over sound tarmac or concrete; £5,200–£8,350 with a dig-out and new permeable base. Both include VAT.
Planning in the Isle of Wight
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.
Weather and working days
The South East is relatively dry, with long laying seasons, but clay soils are common across much of the region and can drain slowly. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Newport jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.

Often, yes. Tell us where you saw it or show us a photo, and we will bring the closest blends to the survey to compare in daylight.
