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 Cardiff we look at three things: the base, the falls, and where water goes. Those decide the specification, and the specification decides the price. Housing in Cardiff ranges from Victorian terraces to post-war semis and newer estates, and drive sizes vary just as much.
In Cardiff we can price work such as replacing rocking patio slabs with a seamless resin patio, finishing garden steps with resin treads and stone nosings and building a gentle ramp to a back door. More about resin patios.
Prices for resin patios in Cardiff
Guide prices for Cardiff are based on South Wales rates, which are below the UK average. The written quote after your survey is the figure that counts.
For a 31 m² patio in Cardiff: about £1,250–£1,950 as an overlay on a sound base, or roughly £2,050–£3,300 if the old surface has to come out for a dig-out and new permeable base.
| Service | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| Resin patios | £40–£105 per m² |
| Permeable SuDS driveways | £65–£105 per m² |
| Resin over tarmac and concrete | £40–£60 per m² |

Planning in Cardiff
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 Wales, not legal advice.
Weather and working days
South Wales is wetter than most of England, so a permeable build or a planned route for water is essential on every drive. We only lay resin on dry days with ground and air above about 5°C, so Cardiff jobs are booked with the forecast in mind.
How it works
Guide price first, then a free visit, then a line-by-line quote. Nothing is booked until you have the specification in writing.
Resin patios in Cardiff: questions
Can you match a resin colour I have seen in Cardiff?
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.
Do I need planning permission in Cardiff?
Wales has its own permitted development rules on the same principle: a front-garden hard surface should be porous or drain to a permeable area on the property. A fully permeable resin bound build, with a porous base under it, meets that test.
Is the price fixed for Cardiff jobs?
Yes, once the scope and specification are agreed in writing. If hidden ground conditions turn up, we explain and agree any change with you before doing extra work.
