Maintaining VUBA Resin Surfaces

To maintain the look and longevity of your VUBA resin-bound surface—especially lighter shades that show dirt more easily—regular cleaning is essential. Pressure washing is effective, but always hold the lance at a 90° angle and keep it at least 300mm (12 inches) from the surface to avoid disturbing the aggregates.

Oil, Dirt & General Debris

Fuel and lubricant spills can quickly soak in, so act fast:

Blot fresh spills with absorbent material

Use an emulsifying degreaser for tougher marks

Avoid harsh solvents and contact VUBA for stubborn stains

Weeds, Moss & Algae

Though a weed-resistant membrane is installed beneath the surface, occasional growth may appear:

Remove weeds with a jet wash or by hand

Treat moss, algae, or lichen with a manufacturer-approved solution, especially in shaded or damp areas

Organic Staining (Leaves, Berries, Fruit)

Natural debris can leave stains if left too long.

Clear away fallen matter promptly to prevent discolouration

To treat existing stains, use:

1.5L sodium hypochlorite

4.5L water

100ml non-oxidising shampoo (e.g. baby shampoo)

Application: Spray evenly, scrub gently with a stiff brush, and rinse thoroughly—take care to protect nearby plants from runoff

Rust & Tyre Marks

Rust may come from metal objects or rare reactions with natural pyrite in some aggregates:

Use a non-acidic rust remover as per instructions

Tyre marks can be removed with hot water and mild detergent or with steam cleaning for more persistent stains

By following these simple steps, you can keep your VUBA resin surface looking clean, vibrant, and well-protected year after year.

Why Choose Resin Bound Aggregates For Your Driveway?

Resin-bound driveways offer an unbeatable combination of beauty, durability, and practicality—making them a superior upgrade to traditional materials like sandstone, limestone, porcelain, or composite decking. Here's why they're increasingly the surface of choice for modern homes:

✅ Permeable & Eco-Friendly

Resin-bound systems are fully permeable, allowing rainwater to flow naturally through the surface. As a SuDS-compliant solution (Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems), they help reduce surface water runoff, prevent flooding, and promote groundwater replenishment—ideal for environmentally conscious designs.

✅ Long-Lasting & Hard-Wearing

Engineered for strength, these driveways withstand regular vehicle traffic without cracking, shifting, or wearing down. They resist frost, weeds, moss, and algae, providing a stable, weatherproof finish that stays looking great year after year.

✅ Easy to Maintain

Forget time-consuming upkeep. A simple sweep and the occasional power wash are usually all that’s needed to keep the surface clean. The smooth, joint-free finish prevents debris buildup and minimises staining—saving you time and effort.

✅ Safe & Slip-Resistant

Designed with safety in mind, resin-bound surfaces offer natural slip resistance—even in wet or icy weather. This makes them a reliable option for driveways in any climate and especially valuable for families or older residents.

✅ Stylish Design Options

With a vast selection of colours, aggregate sizes, and finishes, resin-bound paving can be tailored to suit any home—whether you’re going for sleek modern minimalism or classic charm. The seamless finish adds instant kerb appeal and sophistication.

✅ Seamless, Weed-Free Finish

Unlike traditional paving with gaps or joints, resin-bound surfacing creates a smooth, continuous layer. This not only looks cleaner but also discourages weed growth, helping your driveway stay neat with less effort.

✅ UV-Stable & Fade-Resistant

Thanks to UV-stable resin technology, these surfaces retain their colour and vibrancy even under long-term sun exposure. You won’t see fading, patchiness, or discolouration—just consistent beauty that lasts.

✅ Quick, Hassle-Free Installation

Most installations are completed within 1–2 days, meaning minimal disruption and a driveway that’s ready to use almost immediately. It’s a fast, efficient way to transform your outdoor space.
