Don't Replace, Repair!

A damaged tarmac driveway doesn't always need complete replacement. In many cases, professional repairs can restore your driveway to excellent condition at a fraction of the cost of a new installation. With 28 years of experience, we'll assess your driveway honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.

Whether you have potholes, cracks, crumbling edges or general wear, our repair services can extend your driveway's life by many years. We use the same quality materials as our new installations, ensuring repairs blend seamlessly and last.

Don't Delay Repairs

Small problems become big problems if left untreated. Water gets into cracks and potholes, causing further damage especially during winter freeze-thaw cycles. Early repairs are always more cost-effective than waiting until replacement is the only option.

Our Repair Services

From minor fixes to major restoration, we have the solution for your tarmac problems.

Pothole Repairs

Quick, effective filling

Potholes are both unsightly and damaging to vehicles. We cut out the damaged area cleanly, prepare the base properly, and fill with hot tarmac for a lasting repair that won't sink or crumble.

  • Clean-cut damaged areas
  • Proper base preparation
  • Hot tarmac application
  • Level, flush finish
  • Prevents further damage

Crack Filling

Stop water ingress

Cracks allow water to penetrate beneath your driveway, causing the base to fail and cracks to widen. We fill cracks with specialist sealants or hot tarmac depending on severity.

  • Various filling methods
  • Stops water penetration
  • Prevents crack spreading
  • Suitable for all crack sizes
  • Extends driveway life

Patching

Localised area repairs

When damage is limited to specific areas, patching is the cost-effective solution. We remove and replace damaged sections while leaving sound areas untouched.

  • Targets specific damage
  • Cost-effective solution
  • Minimal disruption
  • Blends with existing surface
  • Same-day use in most cases

Resurfacing

Complete surface renewal

When the surface is worn but the base is sound, resurfacing adds a new layer of tarmac over the existing surface. This gives you a brand-new looking driveway without full excavation.

  • New surface layer applied
  • Retains existing base
  • More affordable than replacement
  • Fresh, uniform appearance
  • Adds years of life

Repair or Replace?

Not sure which option is right for your driveway? Here's a quick guide.

Replacement May Be Better When...

Tarmac Repair FAQs

How long do tarmac repairs last?

When done properly with hot tarmac and correct preparation, repairs should last as long as the surrounding surface, potentially 10-15+ years. We don't use inferior cold patch materials that fail quickly.

How quickly can I use my driveway after repairs?

Most repairs can be driven on within 24 hours, often sooner. We'll advise you on the specific timescale for your repair. Larger resurfacing jobs may need 48 hours before heavy use.

Will the repair be visible?

Fresh tarmac is darker than weathered surfaces, so new repairs will initially be visible. Over time, UV exposure causes new tarmac to fade to match the surrounding area, typically within 6-12 months.

Is it worth repairing an old driveway?

Often yes, if the base is sound, repairs and resurfacing can add many years of life at a fraction of replacement cost. We'll honestly assess your driveway and advise what's best for your situation.
