Resurface a Tarmac Driveway With Resin Bound in Kent

A Brand New Look Without Digging Anything Up

Faded, cracked tarmac does not have to mean a full excavation. Resurfacing with resin bound aggregate transforms the appearance and performance of your driveway while keeping the existing tarmac in place as a structural base. Kent Resin Driveways delivers tarmac-to-resin resurfacing projects across the county, giving homeowners in Maidstone, Tonbridge, Aylesford, Bearsted and beyond a finish that looks and feels entirely new.

The resin bound layer is hand-trowelled directly over the cleaned tarmac. No diggers, no skips, no extended disruption. Most driveways are completed in one to two working days.

Why Resin Beats Tarmac

Ageing tarmac develops a familiar set of flaws. The colour fades to a lifeless grey. Cracks open and weeds colonise every gap. Puddles form in low spots after each rainfall. Patching provides temporary relief, but the underlying issues remain.

Resin bound resolves every one of those problems. The seamless surface locks out weed growth completely. The porous aggregate matrix drains rainfall on the spot, eliminating standing water. SUDS compliance is built in, which satisfies planning requirements for front driveways exceeding five square metres.

The aesthetic leap is substantial. Dozens of natural stone blends cover the range from warm honey and terracotta through to cool silver and graphite. Your driveway transitions from tired tarmac to a finish that genuinely enhances your property.

Resurfacing Step by Step

We begin by inspecting the tarmac. It must be structurally stable to serve as a base. Serious cracks or sunken zones are repaired beforehand. Minor surface wear and hairline cracking present no issues.

A high-pressure wash removes dirt, moss and algae. A tack coat is then applied to bond the new resin layer to the old tarmac. The resin and natural stone blend is hand-trowelled to approximately 18mm depth, worked neatly around kerbs, threshold strips and drainage covers.

Curing takes four to six hours in typical conditions. Foot traffic is safe the same day; vehicles can return the following morning. The process is quick, contained and leaves your property clean.

Long-Term Performance

UV stable resin holds the aggregate colour for years without the fading that plagues tarmac. Every stone is fully encased, so there are no loose chippings to scatter and no joints for weeds to exploit. An annual jet wash is the only upkeep required.

Every resurfacing project is backed by a written guarantee. The surface you see on day one is the surface you will enjoy for many years.
