Resin bound patios with a seamless, permeable finish
A resin bound patio is dried natural aggregate mixed with clear resin and trowelled by hand into one smooth surface. The stones are fully coated rather than scattered on top, so there are no loose chippings, and rain drains straight through the tiny gaps between them.
The finish is only as good as the base underneath. We lay resin over a sound, porous base, usually open-graded tarmac or suitable concrete, with firm edging so the edges can't crumble. Laying over cracked or moving ground is the main reason resin patios fail, so we never cut that corner.

Resin bound, resin bonded and overlays explained
Resin bound
Aggregate mixed with resin and trowelled level. Permeable, smooth underfoot and free of loose stones, this is what most people mean by a resin patio.
Resin bonded
Resin spread on a base with loose stone scattered over the top. It gives a grippy texture but isn't permeable, and some stone can work loose over time.
Laying over an existing base
Sound, crack-free concrete or tarmac can sometimes be overlaid, which saves digging out. We check it carefully first, because any movement below will show through the resin.

Why choose Nice & Tidy
Why homeowners trust us with resin patios
Resin is unforgiving of short cuts, so we treat the groundwork and the weather as seriously as the finish. As a family-run, fully insured local business, we stand behind the way we work.
Base first
We only lay resin on a base that is sound, porous and properly edged.
Weather-aware planning
Resin needs dry conditions, so we plan around the forecast rather than rushing it down.

How we carry out the work
How we lay a resin patio
No pressure at any stage, and nothing is booked until you have the price in writing.
Prepare the base
We dig out and lay a compacted sub-base topped with a porous binder course, or repair and prime a suitable existing base.
Edge and protect
Edging is fixed to hold the resin in place, and walls, doors and drains are masked off before mixing starts.
Mix and trowel
Resin and dried aggregate are mixed in small batches and trowelled to an even depth on a dry day, so the finish is consistent across the patio.
Cure and handover
The surface is left to cure before use. We'll tell you when it is safe to walk on and how to keep it looking its best.
