Wimbledon Resin Driveway Repair: A Feature Transformation

A call was received regarding a resin driveway in Wimbledon that exhibited issues resulting from incorrect installation. It was determined that the resin-to-aggregate ratio had been miscalculated, and evidence of dry steering by vehicles was noted. Despite being only five years old, the surface was in poor condition.

Assessing the Issue

Rather than simply patching the affected areas, the worn-out section was viewed as an opportunity to create a distinctive feature. A sweeping arc was delineated, starting from the property entrance and extending diagonally across the driveway to the garage entrance.

Design and Material Selection

A selection of complementary colours from a range of natural aggregates was proposed. Once the perfect colour was chosen by the client, it was agreed that the damaged resin bound stone surface would be removed and replaced with a new one.

Repair Process

A new aggregate was installed, chosen for its higher Mohs Hardness Scale value to provide enhanced resistance to wear and tear. The correct resin/aggregate ratio was ensured to deliver a durable and long-lasting repair.

Outcome

The approach was deemed successful, with the client expressing satisfaction with the results. High-quality repairs that exceed client expectations remain a point of pride for the team.
