Convert Your Tarmac to a Stunning Resin Bound Finish
Thousands of homes across Essex still have tarmac driveways. Many of them are faded, cracked and full of weeds. If that sounds like yours, a conversion to resin bound surfacing is the answer. At Elite Resin Driveways Ltd, we convert tarmac driveways to resin bound across Billericay, Chelmsford, Brentwood, Southend, Basildon and all of Essex.
A tarmac to resin bound conversion is simple. We use your old tarmac as the base and lay a fresh resin bound surface on top. There is no excavation, no skip hire and no mess. You get a brand new driveway at a fraction of the cost of starting from scratch.
What Makes Resin Bound Better Than Tarmac?
Tarmac has its place, but it has clear drawbacks. It fades in the sun, cracks in cold weather, grows weeds in the joints and holds water on the surface. Resin bound surfacing solves every one of these problems.
Resin bound is permeable. Water drains straight through the surface instead of sitting in puddles. This means no standing water, no ice patches in winter and no need for separate drainage. It is also SUDS compliant, which local planning rules often require for paved front gardens.
The finish is weed-free. There are no gaps, joints or cracks for weeds to grow through. The smooth, seamless surface is easy to sweep and keeps looking good with very little effort.
UV stable resin means the colour stays true for years. Unlike tarmac, which turns grey after a few summers, resin bound holds its colour beautifully. You choose from dozens of natural stone blends to get the exact look you want.
How We Convert Your Tarmac Driveway
We start by checking the condition of your tarmac. It needs to be structurally sound, even if it looks tired on the surface. If there are potholes or deep cracks, we repair them first. Minor surface damage is not a problem.
We clean the tarmac with a pressure washer to remove dirt, moss and debris. A tack coat goes down next. This bonds the resin bound layer to the tarmac below. Then we hand-trowel the resin bound mix across the whole surface at around 18mm thick.
We take care around edges, steps, manhole covers and planting beds. Every detail is finished neatly. The surface cures quickly and you can use your driveway again the next day.
Add Value to Your Home
A new resin bound driveway lifts the whole front of your house. It is one of the best ways to boost curb appeal and add value. Estate agents say a well-finished driveway can add thousands to a property price. Homeowners in Rayleigh, Wickford, South Woodham Ferrers and across Essex have seen the difference.

Tarmac to Resin Bound Conversion FAQs
How much cheaper is conversion than a full new driveway?
Converting tarmac to resin bound typically costs 40 to 60 percent less than digging up the old surface and starting fresh. You save on excavation, disposal and base preparation.
Can any tarmac driveway be converted?
The tarmac needs to be structurally sound. If there is major subsidence or deep damage, additional prep work may be needed. We assess this during our free visit.
Will the resin bound surface crack like my tarmac did?
Resin bound surfacing is flexible and moves slightly with the base. It is far less likely to crack than tarmac, especially when laid over a stable existing surface.
Do I need planning permission for the conversion?
Usually not. Because resin bound is permeable, it meets the requirements for paving front gardens without needing a planning application.
