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 Motherwell 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 Motherwell have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Lanarkshire, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, swapping loose gravel for a resin surface that stays put and overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Motherwell
Guide prices for Motherwell are based on Central Scotland rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
As a guide, a 30 m² drive in the ML1 area would be around £1,200–£1,850 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £2,000–£3,200 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Motherwell
Scotland's householder permitted development rules allow many hard surfaces at a house where the surface is porous or water drains to a permeable area 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.
Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas are treated differently, so if any of those apply we suggest a quick check with your council's planning team before work starts.
General information for Scotland, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
Central Scotland gets steady rainfall through the year, so a permeable build and well-planned falls keep drives free of standing water. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Lanarkshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
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.
