Resin Patios
What Is A Resin Patio?
A resin bound patio surface is made of either coloured rubber or an aggregate mix. It’s used to create patio spaces for commercial or residential buildings.
In the UK, patios are usually paved. However, this means they can only be enjoyed after extensive cleaning and several hours of sunshine. Before you can relax or enjoy recreational activities, the area will need to be weeded and the stones cleaned.
Resin patios are very popular due to their smooth, long-lasting surfaces and permeability. They are attractive, elegant and require little maintenance—making them an ideal alternative to traditional options like gravel, block paving, and decking.
Resin patios can be made in many designs, colours, and textures. You have the freedom to create a patio that suits your personal style.
Resin patios eliminate flooding and stagnant water worries because they are permeable, allowing rainwater to pass through freely.
You also don’t need to worry about UV exposure—thanks to their UV resistance, resin patios won’t fade or change colour, even with prolonged sunlight.
Benefits of Using the Resin Patios
Resin Bound Patios: Built to Last
Resin bound patios are incredibly durable and long-lasting. Thanks to their tough properties, they can last for more than 20 years with minimal wear.
Accessibility
These surfaces are easily accessible, making them ideal for wheelchairs, buggies, pushchairs, scooters, and bicycles.
Smoothness
All resin patios are hand-finished, resulting in a smooth and level surface. This means there are no loose stones or chips, making the surface safer to use even in wet or icy weather. The anti-slip technology also ensures added safety underfoot.
UV Stable & Non-Fading
Resin patios are UV stable, meaning they will not fade and can withstand even the harshest weather conditions while retaining their original colour.
Low Maintenance
This flooring system requires very little upkeep—just a few cleanings a year. It’s tough enough to withstand pressure washing and can be kept looking its best with a hard-bristle brush.
Preventing the Growth of Weeds
Resin bound patios are highly resistant to weeds, algae, and moss. With no room for roots to grow, these surfaces remain clean and low-maintenance all year round.
Permeability
Thanks to their porous surface, resin patios allow water to drain away freely, helping to prevent puddles and standing water. This feature also meets the requirements of the SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) regulations.
Design Flexibility
Resin bound patios are extremely versatile and can be adapted to suit virtually any design. From logos and lettering to patterns, motifs, and symbols—there’s endless opportunity to create something truly unique and visually striking.
Variety of Colours
Available in a wide range of colours and textures, resin patios can be tailored to suit both traditional and modern styles. Whether you’re after a sleek, contemporary look or something more rustic, the colour options allow for total creative freedom.
Quick Installation
Resin patios install faster than traditional paving or decking. In fact, a newly laid resin patio can often be ready for use within just a day or two.
No Planning Permission Required
Installing a resin bound patio doesn’t require additional planning permission, making the process even more hassle-free.
Surface Compatibility
Resin patios can be installed over most solid, flat surfaces such as concrete or tarmac, making them highly adaptable to different property types.
Stability
As long as the base is properly prepared, resin patios won’t sink, swell, cave in, or crack. This solid foundation helps ensure the patio remains durable and stable for many years to come.

Resin Patio Cost
How Much Does a Resin Patio Cost?
Resin bound surfaces offer many advantages that make them an ideal flooring system for outdoor spaces. From their low-maintenance appeal to their durability and aesthetic value, it’s easy to see why they’re such a popular choice. However, it’s also important to understand how much they cost.
It’s difficult to determine the exact cost of a resin patio because no two projects are the same. Each job has its own unique specifications, which makes it challenging to provide a fixed price without assessing the details first.
Several factors influence the final cost of a resin patio, including:
The type and colour of aggregate selected
The total size of the area to be covered
Whether there is an existing surface (such as concrete or tarmac) to work with
Site preparation and access
As a general guide, the average cost of a resin driveway or patio is around £80 per square metre, but this can vary depending on the complexity and scope of the project.
Resin Bound Surfaces VS Resin Bonded Surfaces
Understanding the Difference: Resin Bound vs Resin Bonded
These two types of surfaces should not be confused. A resin bound surface, when laid on the correct base, is usually SUDS-compliant, unlike a resin bonded surface.
A resin bonded surface involves spreading resin over a sub-base before scattering the aggregate on top. This layer does not allow water to penetrate, meaning it is not SUDS compliant.
In contrast, a resin bound surface mixes the aggregate with resin before application and is laid to create a smooth, permeable finish—allowing water to drain through and meeting SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems) regulations when installed on an appropriate base.
