Steel Blue resin driveway
Cool grey carrying a blue note.
What it suits
Coastal and modern properties, and pale render.
The detail
The blue is subtle and shows most in flat daylight. This is a blend worth seeing wet as well as dry, because the blue reads much stronger after rain.
Upkeep
As Slate Grey. Cool tones show winter salt.
What it costs
MyBuilder puts the premium for bespoke blends, recycled glass and marble aggregates at 30 to 50 per cent on material costs, against standard aggregates such as golden quartz or silver granite. On a 50m² drive, where materials run roughly £2,000 to £3,500 on the published rates, that is a few hundred pounds — real money, but rarely the line that decides the quote.
Steel Blue is a bespoke blend, so it sits on the premium side of that line. Across the whole job that difference is real but modest: the surface is £40–£120 per m² before groundwork, and groundwork is the line that actually decides the total.
Other silver and grey blends
Silver and grey
The contemporary default. Reads cool and clean against render, grey brick and modern glazing, and contrasts hard against traditional red brick.

Tell us the drive and where you are. Your details go to installers who cover your postcode — we publish costs, we do not lay driveways, and nobody gets your number until you send this.
- We are a cost guide, not an installer — so we have nothing to gain from talking the price up.
- Your postcode decides who hears about it. No postcode, no route.
- Three quotes is the standard advice, because the same job varies 20 to 30 per cent between firms.
- No number is a quote until someone has stood on your drive.
Estimates on this site are arithmetic on published cost-guide rates. They are not quotes, not offers, and not based on seeing your property.
