Maintaining VUBA Resin Surfaces

Keeping your resin-bound surface clean not only enhances its appearance but also extends its lifespan—particularly for lighter shades where dirt and marks are more visible. Regular maintenance helps preserve its pristine look and functional integrity.

General Cleaning Tips

Power washing is effective, but care is essential. Always:

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

Maintain a minimum distance of 300mm.
This helps prevent dislodging any of the bound aggregate.

Common Issues & Treatments

Oil, Fuel & Grease Stains: Prompt action is crucial for spills. Immediately blot affected areas with an absorbent cloth to minimise staining. For stubborn marks, use an emulsifying degreaser. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh solvents, and consult Vuba for persistent or large stains.

Weeds, Moss & Algae: Thanks to the underlying permeable membrane, weed growth from beneath is limited. However, surface growth can still occur:

Remove weeds using a pressure washer.

Treat moss, lichen, or algae in damp or shaded areas with a suitable biocide or cleaner, following the product’s instructions.

Organic Debris (Leaves, Berries, etc.): Fallen leaves, berries, and other organic matter can cause staining if left too long. To treat stains, apply the following cleaning solution:

1.5 litres sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)

4.5 litres water

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

Apply using a pump sprayer, scrub with a stiff brush, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Take care to protect nearby plants and grass from runoff.

Rust Marks & Tyre Tracks: Rust may result from outdoor furniture, BBQs, or trace minerals like pyrite in the stone. Use a non-acidic rust remover as directed. Tyre marks can typically be cleaned with steam or a mix of hot water and mild detergent applied with a stiff brush.

Ongoing Care for Long-Term Performance: Regular sweeping, seasonal power washing, and prompt stain treatment will keep your resin-bound surface looking fresh and performing well for years to come. For tailored advice or tough stains, the Vuba team is always here to help.

Why Choose Resin Bound Aggregates For Your Driveway?

Resin-bound driveways are redefining outdoor surfaces—delivering a winning combination of sleek aesthetics, long-term durability, and everyday convenience. As a modern alternative to Sandstone, Limestone, Porcelain, and Composite decking, here’s what sets them apart:

Resin-bound systems are SuDS-compliant, meaning they allow rainwater to drain naturally through the surface. This eco-friendly design helps reduce surface runoff, minimise flood risks, and support groundwater recharge—combining environmental stewardship with top-tier performance.

Built to withstand heavy use, resin-bound driveways are crack-resistant, frost-proof, and impervious to weed growth and algae. Engineered for strength and resilience, they’re ideal for driveways, paths, and high-traffic areas that demand year-round reliability.

Thanks to their sealed, smooth finish, these surfaces are simple to keep clean:

No sealing or special treatments needed

Just occasional sweeping and periodic pressure washing

Stays looking fresh with minimal upkeep

Designed with safety in mind, resin-bound paving offers excellent grip underfoot, even in wet or icy weather. This makes it a smart choice for homes with children, elderly residents, or sloped driveways.

With a wide selection of aggregate colours, textures, and sizes, resin-bound paving offers total design flexibility. Whether you prefer a contemporary contrast or something that blends with heritage architecture, you can tailor the finish to match your home’s unique character.

Its continuous, joint-free surface not only provides a clean and polished appearance—it also prevents common issues like weed growth, shifting, or cracking, helping your driveway stay neat and low maintenance for years.

Formulated with UV-resistant resin, your driveway will maintain its colour and finish, even after prolonged exposure to the sun. No bleaching, no dulling—just consistent visual appeal.

Resin-bound driveways are typically installed and fully cured within 24 to 48 hours, offering a quick, efficient transformation with long-term benefits.

Though the initial investment may be higher than traditional options, the durability, low maintenance, and enhanced kerb appeal of resin-bound paving make it a cost-effective, long-term upgrade that adds genuine value to your property.

If you’re looking for a modern driveway solution that delivers on looks, performance, and sustainability, resin-bound surfacing offers an all-in-one answer. Designed to impress and built to endure, it’s a smart investment in your home’s future.
