Terrabase Paving is a Kent-based paving company serving Tunbridge Wells and surrounding areas. Resin bound driveways is one of our core services offerings, with every job carried out by our own specialist team.
We have laid dozens of resin driveways across the Tunbridge Wells area. You can choose from a range of aggregate colours and blends, from soft golds and buffs through to greys and darker mixes, so the finish suits your brickwork rather than fighting it. Borders, edging and steps can all be worked into the design.
Every job starts with a free property survey. We measure up, look at your existing surface and check how water currently drains away, then give you a written fixed price. There is no charge for the visit and no pressure afterwards.
Our work is covered by public liability insurance and a five-year guarantee on workmanship and materials. Call 07365 022872 to book a free property survey today!
Laid over a sound base at the right depth, a resin driveway is exceptionally durable. It can withstand daily use from cars and foot traffic for over 15+ years before a replacement is required.
We offer a wide range of resin-bound colours and styles, allowing you to customise your driveway’s look in alignment with your property’s aesthetic. Warmer blends tend to sit better against ragstone and older brick, while cooler greys suit newer builds and rendered frontages.
A brush-over and an occasional wash are usually enough. Additionally, Weeds cannot push up through a properly built resin-bound driveway, minimising maintenance compared to other driveway types such as block-paved.
Resin-bound is porous, so rain passes through rather than running off towards your house or the road. Government guidance on permeable front garden surfacing explains why this matters, and the Planning Portal sets out when a new front driveway needs planning permission.
The seamless finish makes life easier for pushchairs, wheelchairs and wheelie bins. There are no raised edges or sunken blocks to catch a toe.
We do not publish prices on the website, and for good reason. Two driveways of the same size can differ by thousands of pounds depending on what is underneath them. Quoting from a photograph would mean guessing, and guesses turn into extra charges later.
Instead, we visit the property, take proper measurements and price the job in full. The things that move the price most are:
✅ Size and shape of the driveway
✅ Whether the existing base can be kept or needs digging out
✅ Depth of excavation and the condition of the ground
✅ Access for machinery and material deliveries
✅ Drainage work, edging, steps and manhole covers
✅ Aggregate choice and the amount of waste to remove
You get one fixed written price covering the whole job. The deposit and payment stages are explained in the survey before you commit to anything.
Send us an enquiry via the web form, phone or email. We will be in touch the same day to chat about your requirements.
We’ll then offer you a free property consultation where we will measure the area, check the existing surface, levels, access and drainage and talk through colour options.
Following the home visit, we’ll provide you with a quote, availability and rough turnaround estimates so you have full clarity before committing to anything.
If you’re happy to go ahead with the quote, we first prepare the driveway for installation. We’ll then prepare the base and lay the resin-bound layer. Once completed, we’ll give you the opportunity to review the installation before sign-off.

To price up the job and offer advice if required.
We don’t quote resin bound driveway prices online, because every driveway is different. Cost depends on a variety of factors including driveway size, excavation depth, drainage requirements and colour choice. The only way to get an accurate figure is a free, no-obligation site survey, after which we’ll give you a fixed, itemised quote.
Most resin-bound driveways take between one and three days to install, depending on the size of the area and the extent of preparation the existing base requires. Larger driveways, or those needing a full dig-out and rebuild, will take longer. They also take an additional 24-48 hours to cure following installation. We’ll confirm an exact timeframe for your specific job at your free site survey.
Yes. We arrange and handle all waste removal ourselves as standard, including any old driveway material we take up, so you don’t need to organise a skip or grab lorry yourself. This is included and itemised clearly in your quote.
You pay for the install upon completion of the work when you’re satisfied with the outcome.
When properly installed, a resin-bound driveway typically lasts 15-20+ years with minimal upkeep. All of our work is backed by our super generous 5-year workmanship guarantee, and manufacturer warranties apply to the materials we use.
Yes. Resin-bound surfacing allows rainwater to drain through the surface into the ground below, rather than pooling on the surface or running off into the road. This makes it a SUDS-compliant, permeable choice, which is a real advantage for properties dealing with surface water or drainage issues.
The upfront cost of resin bound can be higher than block paving, but pays off in the long run as there is no re-sanding, no loose stones to top up, and far less ongoing maintenance.
In many cases, yes. Provided the existing surface is structurally sound, free of significant cracking, and draining properly. If it isn’t, laying resin straight over it risks the same cracks reappearing at the surface later. We’ll assess your existing driveway honestly at your free survey and recommend the right approach, even if that means a full dig-out and rebuild.
No more than any other hard surface. A correctly installed resin-bound driveway has a textured, slightly gritty finish that provides good underfoot grip in wet weather. Like any outdoor surface, it can still ice over in freezing temperatures, so normal winter care applies.
This almost always comes down to sub-base preparation, not the resin itself. Cutting corners on excavation, compaction, or drainage underneath is typically the underlying cause of cracking, dips, and rippling later on. We carry out proper sub-base preparation on every job with our own team, and back the finished installation with a 5-year guarantee for your complete peace of mind.
In most cases, no. Because resin-bound is a permeable surface that lets water drain through rather than run off, it generally falls outside the planning rules that apply to non-permeable driveways of a certain size. Your local authority can confirm the specifics for your property, and we’re happy to talk you through it.
We work throughout Kent, with Tunbridge Wells as one of our main areas. We also cover Maidstone, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Ashford, Chatham and Staplehurst, along with the villages in between, including Headcorn, Marden, Cranbrook, Sissinghurst, Biddenden, Lenham and Sutton Valence.
If your village is not listed, it is still worth asking. We travel across the county regularly and are happy to look at jobs outside our usual patch.
