If you are planning a resin-bound surface, countertop, or creative table project, knowing the cost per square metre is essential. This page compares ResinPro’s best kits for floors, pebbled outdoor areas, countertops, and tables—clarifying kit coverage and cost factors by surface type. Whether you are a homeowner, renovator, or creative crafter, you’ll find the information you need to plan your budget accurately and select the best resin solution for your space.

Resin cost per m²: surface types and key differences

The price of a resin system per square metre depends on the surface type, required finish, and thickness of the application. Outdoor permeable floors typically use a pebble and resin binder system, with resin and aggregate quantities calculated for optimal drainage and durability. By contrast, indoor surfaces such as countertops and table tops focus on decorative thickness and exceptional clarity. Kits are usually measured for total area coverage at a recommended thickness—the main factor affecting budget per m². Additionally, some projects may require supplementary products, such as special pebbles or pigments, tailored to aesthetic and functional needs. Comparing surface types will help you determine not only cost but also which kit matches your application.

“Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin

The “Flowstone” – Complete Permeable Floor Kit with Pebbles and Resin is designed for outdoor UK environments—driveways, footpaths, and patios—providing a cost-effective solution where water drainage matters. Each kit is sized for a specific surface area and incorporates both resin guidance and granulate supply. Expect to pay between £49.95 and £3,915.45 depending on project scale. The system uses non-yellowing polyurethane for light stones or low-yellowing epoxy for coloured stones to ensure lasting vibrancy. With clear application instructions and sizing linked directly to m² coverage, it’s easier to estimate how much resin—and therefore what budget—you’ll need for each metre. Various colours and granule sizes let you tailor the finish to your requirements. For the full range, see our Pebble Floors category.

Factors to consider when calculating resin cost per square metre

When planning your resin project budget, always consider: surface type, desired thickness, aggregate selection, and whether you need additional components such as pigments or tools. Outdoor projects generally require more material to factor in resin and aggregate, whereas indoor decorative surfaces involve careful calculation of required resin depth for optimal effect. Always check each kit’s estimated coverage, follow recommended temperatures for installation, and factor in ancillary items (like polishing pads or sealers) for a full picture of the total cost per metre. For permeable floors, the combination of resin and washed pebbles makes direct correlation to m² straightforward. For tables and countertops, reference each kit’s specific guidance for area, depth, and effect.
