Maintaining VUBA Resin Surfaces

Caring for your resin-bound surface is essential for preserving its visual appeal and structural integrity—especially for lighter finishes that can show dirt and stains more easily. With consistent maintenance, you’ll keep your surface looking immaculate and performing at its best for years to come.

General Maintenance Tips

Pressure Washing: Jet washing is effective but must be done gently:

Hold the lance at a 90° angle to the surface.

Keep a minimum distance of 300mm to avoid disturbing the bonded aggregates.

Common Surface Issues & Solutions

Oil, Fuel & Grease Stains: Prompt action reduces staining:

Blot spills immediately using an absorbent cloth.

For stubborn marks, apply an emulsifying degreaser.

Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents. For severe or widespread stains, consult Vuba’s technical team.

Weeds, Moss & Algae: Growth through the base is rare, but surface buildup can occur:

Use a pressure washer to remove visible weeds.

Apply an appropriate moss or algae treatment to shaded or damp areas, following product instructions precisely.

Organic Debris (Leaves, Berries, etc.): Decaying natural matter can stain the surface. To treat:

Cleaning Mix:

1.5L sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)

4.5L clean water

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

Apply with a pump sprayer, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse thoroughly. Take care to protect nearby plants and lawns from chemical runoff.

Rust Stains & Tyre Marks: Rust may stem from outdoor furniture or trace minerals in the stone:

Use a non-acidic rust remover as directed.

Tyre marks can often be lifted with steam or a solution of hot water and mild detergent, applied using a stiff brush.

Long-Term Care for Best Results

Sweep regularly to remove dust, leaves, and debris.

Seasonal power washing helps maintain a fresh, clean finish.

Address stains promptly to prevent long-term discolouration or damage.

By following these care guidelines, your resin-bound surface will retain its durability and beauty—ready to enhance your outdoor space year-round.

Why Choose Resin Bound Aggregates For Your Driveway?

Resin-bound driveways are transforming the way homeowners' approach outdoor surfaces—combining sleek, contemporary aesthetics with exceptional performance and low-maintenance convenience. As a stylish, high-spec alternative to traditional materials like sandstone, limestone, porcelain, or composite decking, here’s why resin-bound is fast becoming the preferred choice:

Eco-Friendly & Fully Permeable

Resin-bound paving is SuDS-compliant, meaning it allows water to drain naturally through the surface. This sustainable design helps reduce surface runoff, lowers flood risk, and supports natural groundwater replenishment—offering environmental benefits without compromising on strength or style.

Built to Last

Engineered to handle the rigours of everyday use, resin-bound driveways are resistant to cracking, frost damage, weeds, and algae growth. Whether for driveways, paths, patios, or courtyards, they deliver year-round durability in even the busiest households.

Low Maintenance, High Impact

Forget constant sealing, treating, or scrubbing. Resin-bound surfaces retain their fresh appearance with minimal effort—just occasional sweeping and low-pressure washing are all it takes to keep them looking pristine.

Safe & Slip-Resistant

Ideal for all-weather use, resin-bound driveways provide excellent grip underfoot—even when wet or icy. Their naturally anti-slip surface makes them a reliable choice for families, older residents, and homes with sloped access.

Tailored Design Options

With an extensive range of aggregates in various colours, sizes, and textures, resin-bound surfacing offers unrivalled customisation. Whether you’re after bold contrast, subtle elegance, or something that blends with period architecture, you can create a finish that reflects your personal style and enhances your home’s exterior.

Seamless & Weed-Free

The smooth, jointless finish not only looks more refined but also eliminates the usual issues of shifting, splitting, or weed growth between slabs or joints—keeping your driveway looking neat for the long haul.

UV-Stable & Fade-Resistant

Thanks to advanced UV-stable resins, your chosen colours stay vibrant and true, even after years of sun exposure. No fading, no yellowing—just consistent, long-lasting appeal.

Quick & Easy Installation

Resin-bound surfaces can typically be laid and cured in just 24–48 hours, offering a fast transformation with minimal disruption to your daily routine.

A Smart, Long-Term Investment

While the upfront cost may be higher than some traditional options, resin-bound driveways pay off in the long run with lower maintenance, superior longevity, and enhanced kerb appeal—adding real value to your home.

In Summary:

Resin-bound driveways offer the perfect blend of beauty, performance, and sustainability. Whether upgrading your driveway or reimagining outdoor spaces, they provide a premium solution built to endure and impress.
