Oyster resin driveway
Warm off-white with a hint of ivory.
What it suits
South-facing frontages and light stone.
The detail
Among the palest blends laid as a full driveway. The manufacturer's warning about lighter colours needing more upkeep applies to this one as directly as to anything on the site.
Upkeep
The highest-maintenance choice here. Fine on an open sunny frontage, a chore under trees.
What it costs
MyBuilder puts the premium for bespoke blends, recycled glass and marble aggregates at 30 to 50 per cent on material costs, against standard aggregates such as golden quartz or silver granite. On a 50m² drive, where materials run roughly £2,000 to £3,500 on the published rates, that is a few hundred pounds — real money, but rarely the line that decides the quote.
Oyster is a bespoke blend, so it sits on the premium side of that line. Across the whole job that difference is real but modest: the surface is £40–£120 per m² before groundwork, and groundwork is the line that actually decides the total.
Other cream, white and beige blends
Cream, white and beige
The brightest option and the highest maintenance. Excellent on south-facing frontages, unforgiving of tyre marks and overhanging trees.

Get resin driveway quotes
Tell us the drive and where you are. Your details go to installers who cover your postcode — we publish costs, we do not lay driveways, and nobody gets your number until you send this.
- We are a cost guide, not an installer — so we have nothing to gain from talking the price up.
- Your postcode decides who hears about it. No postcode, no route.
- Three quotes is the standard advice, because the same job varies 20 to 30 per cent between firms.
- No number is a quote until someone has stood on your drive.
Estimates on this site are arithmetic on published cost-guide rates. They are not quotes, not offers, and not based on seeing your property.
