Can you lay resin on an existing driveway?

Believe it or not, in most cases you can! You can lay resin on an existing driveway as long as the current surface is structurally sound, clean and free from major cracks or movement. Resin bound surfacing can be applied over concrete, tarmac or asphalt bases. This can create a smooth, durable and visually stunning finish without the need for full excavation. This makes resin overlays a cost-effective and low-disruption alternative to completely replacing your drive. The key with this is preparation. Our installers will assess the existing surface, repair any damaged and ensure proper drainage before applying a resin system. When done correctly a resin overlay driveway can last between 15 and 20 years or more. This process can still transform a tired and old miserable driveway into something stylish and also permeable. There are many key benefits with a resin driveway. Overlaying an existing driveway shouldn't stop these benefits but bare in mind that the surface must be applicable in order to carry this out. In some cases you can bound resin over stones and gravel, again, this is all subject to the job.
