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 resin job in Trowbridge starts the same way: we check whether your existing surface is sound enough to overlay or needs digging out, because that decides both the price and how long the surface lasts. Trowbridge mixes older streets with newer estates, and many homes have room for two or more cars.
Across Wiltshire, the projects we price include widening a drive into the front garden for a second car, overlaying sound tarmac on a two-car drive and turning a cracked concrete drive into a seamless resin bound surface. More about resin over tarmac and concrete.
Prices for resin over tarmac and concrete in Trowbridge
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.
As a guide, a 51 m² drive in the BA14 area would be around £2,450–£3,800 laid over a sound existing base, rising to about £4,100–£6,550 with a dig-out and new permeable base.

Planning in Trowbridge
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. Spring to autumn offers the most laying days in Wiltshire, but dry, mild winter days can work too.
