Sunken & broken areas
Pothole & Depression Repair
Potholes and dips in a resin surface almost always start in the base below. We rebuild the area to level and address the cause underneath, so the repair holds and water stops collecting.
What you get
Fixing the dip and the cause beneath it
A pothole or depression is a base problem showing through the surface. Resurfacing the top alone won’t last — we deal with both.
Rebuilt to level
Sunken and broken areas are rebuilt back to the surrounding level for a flat, even surface.
Base fault addressed
Potholes start below; we treat the base issue so the repair doesn’t sink again.
Stops water collecting
Levelling the depression removes the puddle that was forming and accelerating the damage.
Colour-matched surface
The resin top is matched to your blend so the repaired area blends in.
Prevents spread
A depression left alone draws water and spreads; early repair contains it.
Honest scope
If the base failure is widespread, we’ll tell you whether a localised fix or resurfacing is the better value.

Why choose us
Resurface a pothole without fixing the base and it'll sink again
A pothole is the surface giving way over a weak spot in the base. Plenty of repairs fail because someone simply filled the top with resin and left the soft base beneath untouched. We dig to the cause, firm up the base and then rebuild the surface — so the area stays level rather than dipping again.
Part of our resin driveway repair service — see the full range and how it fits together.
Water and depressions feed each other: a dip collects water, water softens the base, the dip deepens. Breaking that cycle means levelling the surface and improving how the area sheds or drains water.
We’re straight about scope. A single localised pothole is a contained repair; a surface pocked with depressions usually signals a base that’s failing more widely, and we’ll give you an honest repair-or-resurface recommendation.

- Honest advice on whether to repair or resurface
You need pothole or depression repair when…
- A dip is formingA developing depression collects water and worsens — catching it early keeps the repair small.
- Water pools in one areaLocalised pooling marks a low spot or soft base that needs levelling.
- The surface has broken throughA pothole exposing the base needs rebuilding from below, not just topping up.
- The dip keeps coming backRecurrence means the base wasn’t addressed last time — we fix the cause.
- Vehicles ride unevenly over a spotA noticeable dip under the wheels signals a base weakness worth checking.
Work process
How we repair potholes and depressions
Fix the base, then the surface — the only way a pothole repair stays level.
Assessment
We gauge the extent, check the base condition and match your aggregate blend.
Fixed quote
You get a clear, itemised price covering base and surface work.
Excavate the failure
We remove the failed surface and any soft, unstable base material.
Rebuild the base
We reinstate a firm, properly compacted base so the area won’t sink again.
Resurface and match
Colour-matched resin and aggregate rebuild the surface to level.
Cure and blend
The repair cures and is feathered into the surrounding surface.
Materials
Trusted, industry-recognised systems
We only specify UV-stable resin and graded aggregate from
established suppliers, because the quality of the materials decides how well the surface
drains, holds colour and lasts.
FAQs
Pothole & depression repair questions
What causes potholes in a resin driveway?
Almost always a weakness in the base beneath — poor original compaction, water ingress, or ground movement. The surface gives way over the soft spot, forming a depression or pothole.
Can you just fill the pothole?
Filling the top without firming up the base only buys a little time before it sinks again. We rebuild the base first, then resurface — which is what makes the repair last.
Will the repaired area match?
Yes — we colour-match the resin top to your existing blend and level it to the surrounding surface.
How do I know if it's a base problem?
Recurring dips, pooling water and potholes that reappear after filling all point to the base. Our assessment confirms it.
Is it worth repairing or should I resurface?
A localised pothole is worth repairing. Widespread depressions suggest a failing base where resurfacing may be better value — we’ll advise honestly.
