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.
Any quote we prepare in Chippenham says which base route we recommend and why, with the depth, the resin and the aggregate written down. Many homes in Chippenham have existing tarmac or block drives that can be assessed for an overlay or a rebuild.
Across Wiltshire, the projects we price include adding a channel drain where a drive falls towards the garage, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and widening a drive into the front garden for a second car. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Chippenham
Labour and material costs in the South West run above the UK average, and the guide figures below reflect that. They include VAT and are confirmed after a survey.
For a 25 m² drive in Chippenham: about £1,200–£1,850 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £2,000–£3,200 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Chippenham
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 South West gets more rain than the east of England, especially on higher ground, so permeability and falls matter on every drive. Surveys run all year; resin work itself waits for a dry day above about 5°C.
