Maintaining VUBA Resin Surfaces

To maintain the appearance of your VUBA resin bound surface—particularly lighter colours that show dirt more easily—regular cleaning is key.
Jet washing is highly effective, but always hold the lance at a 90° angle and keep a minimum distance of 300mm from the surface. This helps prevent damage and avoids dislodging the aggregate.

Oil, Dirt & Debris

Oil spills from fuel or lubricants can penetrate resin bound surfaces quickly, causing long-lasting stains if not treated promptly.
Act fast by using an absorbent material to soak up any spills immediately. For tougher, set-in marks, apply an emulsifying degreaser that’s safe for resin-bound surfaces. Avoid using harsh solvents for extended periods, as they may damage the finish. For persistent stains, contact the experts at VUBA for professional advice and product recommendations.

Weeds, Moss & Lichen

While a permeable membrane beneath your resin bound surface helps minimise weed growth, occasional weeds may still appear.
These can usually be removed easily with a jet wash. In shaded or moisture-prone areas, moss, algae, or lichen may develop over time—treat these using manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions to maintain a clean, pristine finish and prolong the life of your surface.

Fruit, Berries & Leaves

Organic debris like fallen leaves, fruit, or plant matter can stain resin bound surfaces if not removed promptly.
To prevent discolouration, regularly clear debris from the surface. For existing stains, use a cleaning mix of 1.5L sodium hypochlorite, 4.5L water, and 100ml of a gentle, non-oxidising shampoo (such as baby shampoo). Apply evenly, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse thoroughly—ensuring nearby plants are protected from chemical runoff.

Rust & Tyre Marks

Rust stains can occasionally appear on resin bound surfaces due to metal garden furniture, BBQs, or naturally occurring pyrite in the aggregates.
Although rare, moisture can activate pyrite and cause surface rusting. To treat rust stains, use a non-acidic rust remover that’s safe for resin-bound materials, as recommended by the manufacturer.

Tyre marks, meanwhile, are typically easy to remove with steam cleaning or by scrubbing with hot water and a mild detergent.

Why Choose Resin Bound Aggregates For Your Driveway?

Resin Bound Aggregates are fast becoming a popular choice among homeowners for driveways and garden pathways.
Recommended by professional landscapers, this durable and fully permeable surfacing solution offers long-lasting performance with a sleek, modern finish.

VUBA Resin Bound Aggregates can replace other, traditional driveway and garden materials such as Sandstone, Limestone, Porcelain, or Composite Decking. Here’s what makes them stand out:

Permeable and Eco-Conscious

Resin bound surfaces are fully permeable, allowing rainwater to drain naturally through the surface.
This makes them SuDS-compliant (Sustainable Drainage Systems) and an ideal choice for environmentally conscious landscaping. By preventing surface water build-up, they help reduce localised flooding, minimise puddling, and support natural groundwater recharge—combining eco-friendly performance with long-term practicality.

Built to Last

Resin bound driveways are built for strength and durability, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
Their tough, flexible surface resists cracking, frost damage, weed growth, and the build-up of moss or algae—offering a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that retains its pristine appearance year after year.

Low Maintenance

Maintaining a resin bound driveway is simple and low-effort.
Regular sweeping and the occasional jet wash are usually all that’s needed to keep the surface clean and looking like new. Thanks to its smooth, non-porous finish, dirt and debris are less likely to cling—making upkeep quick and easy.

Safe and Slip-Resistant

Resin bound surfaces are naturally slip-resistant, offering reliable grip even in wet or icy conditions.
Ideal for homes in all climates, they enhance safety and provide year-round peace of mind for families, especially in high-traffic or outdoor areas.

Design Flexibility

Choose from a wide range of colours and textures with resin bound aggregates, fully customisable to suit your property’s unique style.
Whether you prefer a bold, striking look or subtle elegance, the sleek, modern finish of resin bound surfaces instantly enhances your home’s curb appeal.

UV Stable and Fade-Resistant

Made with UV-stable resins, resin bound surfaces retain their vibrant colour and brilliance—even after extended sun exposure.
Enjoy a driveway or pathway that stays fresh, vivid, and attractive year after year with minimal fading.

Long-Term Value

Although resin bound paving can have a higher initial cost than traditional materials, its durability, low maintenance, and striking appearance make it a cost-effective, long-term investment.

Conclusion
Resin bound aggregates offer the perfect balance of performance and style.
With an eco-friendly design, exceptional durability, and a sleek finish, they provide a smart, modern driveway solution that boosts your home’s curb appeal while requiring minimal maintenance for years to come.
