Resin-bonded aggregate is scattered onto resin applied over a base. It is a different system from resin-bound stone and should not be priced or described as the same permeable finish. Use the dedicated calculator to explore a guide budget for the work described below.
Estimate resin bonded driveways from the measurements and work options below. Guide allowances are already included; a contractor’s quote is not required to use the tool.
The guide rate is for an overlay; base reconstruction, removal and drainage need separate allowances.
Guide model reviewed 7 November 2026. VAT treatment varies between published guides and supplier quotes; no VAT is added automatically. Add it only where your allowances exclude it.
This model estimates a resin-bonded overlay on a suitable base. The substrate, falls and drainage need checking before the overlay is priced. Base reconstruction and a new highway crossing are not automatically included.
View the published guide used for the main allowance. Optional allowances are budgeting estimates and can differ from a site-specific quotation.
Use a measured specification to compare prices for your property. Ask contractors to confirm the work, preparation, materials, access, disposal and any exclusions before agreeing a price.

Measure the length and width of the work area in metres. Split an irregular outline into rectangles and add their areas. Where a depth or unit-count field is provided, it gives a separate quantity check; it does not decide the correct construction specification.

The first guide option is resin-bonded overlay on a suitable base. Its allowance is £80–£120 for the relevant unit shown in the result. This is a published-guide starting point; it is not a price offered by a contractor on this website.
This page models resin-bonded overlay on a suitable base. A different construction or repair method needs a separate allowance rather than an assumption that every job has the same scope.
The results show the measured quantity, the selected work allowance and any separately selected items. A volume, unit count or coverage result is a quantity check, not a construction design. Where the model uses a minimum visit allowance or whole bags, the displayed total will not fall in direct proportion to a very small area.
Use the optional contingency to make a separate budget provision. Add a quoted fixed allowance only for work outside the model’s stated scope. Check the VAT basis before selecting the VAT adjustment.
Give contractors the same measurements and work description. Ask them to identify the main work, preparation, disposal, access requirements, drainage and any making-good that applies to this project. An apparent saving can simply mean that a different part of the scope has been priced.
The guide rate is for an overlay; base reconstruction, removal and drainage need separate allowances. Keep the agreed specification with the quote, including any exclusions and the way changes discovered during the work will be authorised.
Examples use the specification named on each card, the calculator’s example measurements and guide allowances. Optional extras, contingency and VAT adjustment are off. Supply-only models exclude installation.

The figures are early budgeting allowances for the work described in the selected option. The guide rate is for an overlay; base reconstruction, removal and drainage need separate allowances. Ask a contractor to confirm the measured scope, access, preparation, materials and exclusions after assessing the property. The written quotation, rather than the calculator, establishes the work and the agreed price.
The result separates the main work from selected options and any additional allowance you enter. Do not add an item again if the main rate or contractor’s quote already includes it. Contingency is optional and is shown separately.
No extra VAT is added automatically. Published cost guides and supplier prices can use different VAT bases, so check the source and any written quotation. The optional VAT control adds 20% to the calculated allowances only when you select it. Leave it off when the rates or quotation already include VAT to avoid counting tax twice.
