Keep the Base, Upgrade the Surface
An asphalt driveway that still has structural integrity but looks tired on the surface is the perfect candidate for a resin bound overlay. Kent Resin Driveways applies resin overlays onto ageing asphalt throughout the county, delivering the look and drainage performance of a brand new resin driveway at a substantially lower cost than full replacement.
The principle is simple. Your existing asphalt becomes the foundation. We apply a hand-trowelled resin bound layer on top, giving you natural stone colour, a smooth finish, weed-free joints and permeable drainage — all in a single coat.
Suitability Criteria
An overlay is the right solution when the asphalt beneath is structurally stable. There should be no major cracking, no deep potholes and no zones of significant settlement. Surface-level wear, hairline cracks and colour fade are all comfortably covered by the resin layer.
Where localised damage exists, we repair before we overlay. Potholes are filled, cracked sections are patched and uneven areas are levelled. This gives the resin a strong, consistent platform.
Properties in Tonbridge, Maidstone, Headcorn, Snodland and across Kent commonly have asphalt driveways dating back twenty years or more. Many still have a perfectly serviceable base — they simply need a new face. That is exactly what an overlay provides.
Overlay Procedure
We start with a thorough clean. Moss, algae, oil contamination and loose debris are stripped using pressure washing and mechanical cleaning. A tack coat is then applied as the bonding agent between the old asphalt and the new resin.
The resin bound mix — natural stone aggregate in UV stable resin — is hand-trowelled across the entire driveway at approximately 18mm depth. We detail carefully around manhole covers, drainage runs, kerb edges and planting beds. The surface cures within hours and can be walked on the same day.
What the Overlay Delivers
The finished surface is fully permeable. Rainfall filters through the aggregate layer, into the asphalt and down to the soil. That eliminates puddles and satisfies SUDS requirements for front driveways, typically removing the need for a planning application.
The joint-free finish prevents weed and moss growth entirely. UV stable resin preserves the stone colour through years of sunlight and weather. A jet wash once or twice a year is the only maintenance the surface needs.

Asphalt Driveway Overlay FAQs
Can the overlay go over minor asphalt cracks?
Yes. Surface-level cracks are covered completely by the resin layer. Only deep cracks or potholes need repair before the overlay is applied.
What depth does the overlay add?
Approximately 18mm. This is sufficient for a strong, smooth finish without significantly raising the driveway level.
Will the overlay affect my garage door clearance?
The 18mm increase is usually manageable. We check thresholds, garage doors and edge transitions during the assessment and adjust where needed.
How long will an asphalt overlay last?
On structurally sound asphalt, a resin bound overlay typically lasts 15 to 25 years with basic annual maintenance.
