A 60m² resin driveway (two cars with turning space) costs £2,400 to £7,200 on published UK cost-guide rates.

Typical shape: about 6m wide by 10m deep, or an L-shape round the side of a house.

## Why this size, specifically

The best-evidenced size on this site: two current 2026 guides publish a 60m² figure directly, and for once they broadly agree. MyBuilder says £2,400 to £4,200, MyJobQuote says £3,500 to £5,500. The overlap, £3,500 to £4,200, is about as close to a defensible UK number as published data gets.

## What the guides publish for this size
- **MyBuilder** — £2,400 – £4,200 (stated total for a standard 60m² driveway)
- **MyJobQuote** — £3,500 – £5,500 (stated total for 60m², split as £2,400–£3,800 materials and £1,100–£1,700 labour)

## The labour split is published for this size

MyJobQuote breaks 60m² down as £2,400 to £3,800 of materials and £1,100 to £1,700 of labour over two to three days, at a day rate of £300 to £500. That is a useful sanity check: if a quote has labour at a third of the total, it is in line with the published split.

## Irregular shapes cost more than the area suggests

Checkatrade notes that larger or irregularly shaped areas need more materials and labour time. A 60m² L-shape round the side of a house has far more edge per m² than a 60m² rectangle, and edging is charged by the metre.

## Laying speed sets the day count

Checkatrade states resin must be laid at about 20 metres per hour for the mix to go down properly. That is a physical constraint, not a padding exercise — a crew that promises 60m² finished in a morning is cutting something.

## Groundwork and extras

These are the lines that decide whether a resin drive costs £2,000 or £6,000. Only MyBuilder itemises them; the other guides fold them into the per-m² rate or leave them out entirely.

| Item | Published cost | Source | What drives it |

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

| Excavate and remove the existing surface | £10 – £20 per m² | MyBuilder | Varies with site conditions and how easily a machine and a grab lorry can reach the drive. |

| New Type 1 MOT sub-base | £15 – £30 per m² | MyBuilder | Needed whenever the existing base is broken up, or there was never one. Resin laid on a bad base fails at the edges first. |

| Removing an existing resin driveway | £800 – £1,800 whole job | MyJobQuote | Quoted as a whole-job figure rather than per m². |

| Edging or borders | £15 – £40 per linear metre | MyBuilder | Resin bound has to be laid up to a firm edge. With walls or an existing kerb you may need none of this; an open drive needs it all the way round. |

| Drainage improvement | £300 – £1,000 whole job | MyBuilder | Only needed where the ground does not take water away on its own. |

| Soakaway installation | £660 – £1,200 whole job | MyJobQuote | MyJobQuote puts a typical soakaway at around £850, smaller systems from £660 and larger ones at £1,000–£1,200. HomeHow gives £700–£1,000 for the same job. Most likely on clay ground, or when laying over a non-permeable base. |

| Dropped kerb | £370 – £2,000 whole job | HomeHow | The widest disagreement of any figure on this site. HomeHow says the work starts from £300 plus a £70–£100 council application; MyJobQuote puts the average at around £2,000. It is council-dependent, and it is a separate job from the driveway. |
