A clean, grippy outdoor floor that handles the weather.
Resin flooring for patios, porches and outdoor surfaces. A low-maintenance finish with grip underfoot that handles British weather and washes clean.
What you get
Grip in the wet
Anti-slip aggregate broadcast into the surface, so it stays safe through rain and frost.
No more lifting slabs
A seamless finish with no joints to weed, no slabs to rock and nothing to trip on.
Washes clean
Spills, moss and dirt brush or hose straight off instead of soaking into the stone.
Colour that holds
Natural stone tones through to bolder colours, chosen when we quote and UV-stable so they do not fade.
How it works
Tell us the details
Tell us about the area, what is down now, how it drains and the look you are after, and we spec it to suit.
Quote in writing
One fixed price for the whole job, in your inbox. The price we quote is the price you pay.
New surface laid
Prep the surface, lay the resin and broadcast the grip in, then cure. We plan the work around a dry weather window.
What outdoor resin actually is
Outdoor resin is a coating that goes over a hard surface you already have: a patio, a porch, steps, a path or a seating area. Instead of ripping out slabs, we bond a continuous resin finish over the top and broadcast a fine aggregate into it for grip. You end up with one smooth, seamless surface rather than a grid of slabs with joints that weed up, rock and trip you.
It suits a patio, porch or set of steps that are structurally sound but tired, stained or uneven across the joints. Where it does not suit is a surface that is moving, cracking up or holding water, because a coating follows whatever is underneath it. If the base is past it, we say so when we quote rather than skinning over a problem.
If what you actually want is a brand-new permeable surface for the drive rather than a coating on an existing patio, that is a different system. We cover it on our resin-bound driveways page.
Grip in the wet, colour that holds
A patio that turns into a skating rink the moment it rains is no use to anyone, so grip is the first thing we sort. We broadcast an anti-slip aggregate into the resin while it is wet, which gives the finished surface a fine texture underfoot. It stays safe in the rain and through a frost, but it is still smooth enough to brush leaves off and easy to keep clean.
Outdoors you also have the sun to think about. The wrong resin yellows and goes dull where the light hits it. We use a UV-stable system outdoors so the colour you pick holds up instead of fading and ambering over the seasons; our guide to whether epoxy resin yellows explains exactly why. You tell us the look you are after and we spec it; the colour and finish are settled when we quote.
If you want a surface that is touch-dry and back in use fast, ask about polyaspartic flooring when we quote. It cures quickly and copes well with our climate, which makes it a strong option for an outdoor area you cannot afford to lose for long.
Drainage and the base it sits on
A resin coating is only ever as good as the surface underneath it. Because it is a skin over what is already there, it bonds best to a base that is sound, clean and draining the right way. If your patio puddles, slopes back towards the house or has slabs that move, those issues do not disappear under resin: they come back through it.
So before we quote, we want to know what is down now and how it behaves in the wet. Where the existing slabs or concrete are solid and fall the right way, we can usually prep and lay straight over them. Where there is movement, standing water or the falls are wrong, that needs sorting first, and we will tell you straight what it needs rather than coat over it and watch it fail.
Done properly, the prep is most of the job. Get the base right, sort the drainage and bond the resin to a clean surface, and the finish stays put and looks the part season after season.

Common questions
- Will it be slippery when it rains?
- No. We broadcast an anti-slip aggregate into the resin so the finished surface has a fine texture underfoot. It stays safe in the wet and through a frost, but is still easy to brush and hose clean.
- Does it fade or yellow in the sun?
- We use a UV-stable system outdoors, so the colour you pick holds up rather than going dull or ambering where the sun hits it. You tell us the look and we spec it when we quote.
- Can you lay it over my existing patio?
- Often, yes, as long as the base is sound, clean and draining the right way. A coating follows whatever is underneath it, so if the slabs are moving or it holds water we sort that first. We assess what is there when we quote and tell you straight what it needs.
- Is this the same as a resin driveway?
- No. This is a coating over a patio, porch or steps you already have. A resin driveway is a new permeable surface of stone bound through resin, which is a different system covered on our resin-bound driveways page.
