Sorrento resin driveway
Warm red with contrasting flecks.
What it suits
Traditional brick and stone, and period frontages.
The detail
A red blend rather than a single red, which softens the effect considerably against Merlot. The flecks do most of the work at close range and disappear from the pavement.
Upkeep
Mid-range. The contrast in the blend does some of the hiding for you.
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.
Sorrento 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 red and russet blends
Red and russet
Traditional and high-impact. Works with stone and older brick, and is the family most often used for patterns, borders and lettering.

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.
