Resin Bound Driveways in Eccles and the surrounding area

Resin bound has become one of the most asked-for driveway finishes in Eccles, and it works equally well on paths and patios. It is durable, it holds its appearance year after year, and it asks very little of you once it is down. The look is yours to decide. The aggregate runs from warm bronzes and golds through to greys and near-whites, and two colours can be blended where a single stone does not quite suit the brick.

Resin bound is small stone mixed with a high-strength resin and laid as one continuous surface. We lay resin bound driveways over a properly prepared base, trowel to a smooth finish, leaving a fully permeable surface, so rain drains through it rather than running off towards the house. There are no joints for weeds to come up through and no loose stone to scatter. It takes daily car use and foot traffic, and where the base underneath is sound it can sometimes be laid over the top, which keeps the cost down.

What’s included

  • A sound base prepared or laid to take the resin
  • Resin bound aggregate trowelled to a seamless finish
  • A permeable surface with no loose stone
  • Edgings and detailing around the perimeter
  • A choice of aggregate colour chosen at quote stage

How we do it

  1. 01

    Assess the base

    Resin needs a sound base. We check whether your existing surface can be used or whether it needs laying first.

  2. 02

    Prepare and prime

    We prepare the base, deal with any edges and falls, and prime ready for the resin.

  3. 03

    Mix and trowel

    We mix the resin and aggregate on site and trowel it to a smooth, even, permeable finish.

Why us

Why choose THB Contractors

You are trusting us to dig up the front of your property, or take a car park out of use for a few days. It is worth knowing how we work before that happens: we look at the job properly before we price it, we build the base for the ground we actually find, and you get the same team from the first visit to the last sweep-up. We have been doing it that way for over 20 years across Bolton, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, Eccles included.

We work out of Bolton and cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. Eccles and the M30 postcodes fall well inside that, and we are there regularly rather than occasionally. Halebarns, Shelf, Boothtown, Northowram and Ovenden are covered on the same basis, whichever side of the town you happen to be on.

  • Over 20 years’ experience

    We have laid driveways, patios and commercial surfaces across the North West for over twenty years, and built a reputation for quality workmanship and tidy, reliable jobs.

  • A written, itemised quote

    After we have seen the job, you get the price in writing, so nothing about the cost changes shape once the work begins.

  • The base done properly

    Surfaces nearly always fail from underneath, so we size and build the base for the ground we actually find rather than digging out to a standard depth.

  • The same people throughout

    You keep the same team throughout, from the person who quotes the job to the people finishing it on the last day.

  • Domestic and commercial

    From one driveway to a full car park, we price and plan the work the same careful way.

The price

What affects the price

Every Eccles quote follows a free site visit. We would rather stand on the job and price the work that is actually in front of us than guess at it from a description.

The main things that move the figure:

  • Whether a new base is needed or an existing one can be used
  • The area and the aggregate chosen
  • Edge detailing and falls
  • Access for mixing and materials

Common questions

Is resin bound permeable?

Yes. Resin bound is laid over a permeable base so surface water soaks through rather than running off, which usually avoids the need for extra works.

Does resin fade or go loose?

Resin bound is a fixed, trowelled surface, so there is no loose stone. A quality UV-stable resin holds its colour; we go through the options at the visit.

Can resin be laid over my existing driveway?

Only where the surface underneath is sound and well drained. Where it is not, we prepare or replace the base first — laying resin over a failing base is a false economy.
