This guide provides a detailed breakdown of per-m² pricing for different resin types, aggregates, and scenarios in 2026. ## Average Cost Per m² in 2026 The cost of a resin bound driveway per square metre in the UK typically falls between **£50 and £120**. Here's how that breaks down: Component Cost Per m² Resin bound (standard aggregate) £50–£75 Resin bound (premium aggregate) £75–£120 Resin bonded £30–£60 Groundwork / new sub-base £25–£50 Edging (per linear metre) £15–£30 ## What Affects the Price Per m²? Several factors determine where your project falls within the £50–£120 range: - Aggregate quality — natural stone costs more than recycled glass or quartz - Resin type — UV-stable resins for lighter colours cost more - Application depth — 18mm is standard, but 25mm is recommended for vehicle traffic - Base condition — if excavation is needed, add £25–£50 per m² - Driveway size — larger areas benefit from economies of scale - Regional rates — London and the South East are 15–25% above average ## Cost Per m² by Driveway Size As a rule, the effective cost per m² decreases for larger driveways due to fixed overheads being spread over a greater area: Driveway Size Effective Cost Per m² Total Range 20 m² (small) £65–£100 £1,300–£2,000 40 m² (medium) £55–£90 £2,200–£3,600 60 m² (standard) £50–£80 £3,000–£4,800 100 m² (large) £45–£75 £4,500–£7,500 For an instant personalised estimate, try our [free cost calculator](/resin-driveway-calculator).
