What resin patios involve
A resin patio is a resin bound surface laid in a garden for seating and dining areas. Because it is trowelled in one piece, it has no joints for weeds or ants, it can follow curves easily, and it can be laid over sound concrete or old slabs that are solidly bedded.
Before quoting in Cheltenham we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Drives in Cheltenham range from single-car frontages to wide plots, which is why every price follows a measured survey.
Across Gloucestershire, the projects we price include replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and laying a curving path through a back garden. More about resin patios.
Prices for resin patios in Cheltenham
Guide prices for Cheltenham are based on South West rates, which are above the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 21 m² patio in Cheltenham: about £1,150–£1,800 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £1,950–£3,100 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin patios | £50–£130 per m² |
| Driveway extensions and widening | £80–£130 per m² |
| Resin garden paths | £55–£150 per m² |
Based on South West rates. See the full price guide or price your own project.
Planning in Cheltenham
Patios, paths and steps in a rear garden are generally permitted development for houses. Listed buildings, flats and raised platforms are the main exceptions, and any part that is in front of the house follows the front-garden drainage rules.
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.
How it works
Get a guide price online, book a free survey, receive an itemised written quote, then agree a date. Most drives over a ready base are laid in a day.
Resin patios in Cheltenham: questions
What postcodes do you cover around Cheltenham?
We cover GL50, GL51 and GL53 and the surrounding districts, including Tewkesbury and Gloucester.
Do I need planning permission in Cheltenham?
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. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
