The Resin Bonded Slab Company

What The Resin Bonded Slab Company does

The Resin Bonded Slab Company is a UK private limited company (company number 06831177) operating under the SUDwell™ brand, headquartered in Battle, East Sussex. It manufactures and supplies resin bound and resin bonded paving systems, anchored by a portfolio of pre-mixed DIY kits, bulk trade starter packs, rubber safety paving tiles, and resin bound paving slabs built around a patented matrix system (European patent EP2243621A1). The core technology combines UV-stable polyurethane resin with natural stone aggregates to deliver SUDs-compliant permeable surfaces, supported by BBA accreditation and RIBA Product Selector listing that enable specification into UK commercial and public-sector projects.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model. Direct e-commerce targets DIY homeowners with one-off unit purchases (£29.77 per m² kit), while a trade channel sells bulk starter packs (33m² at £987.77) to professional installers and landscapers. An affiliated company, Resin Driveways, provides turnkey professional installation services (10m² from £800-£1,200, larger commercial jobs £10,000+), and a paid video-based training package extends reach into the installer community. Distribution is UK-only and multi-channel, combining the company website, exhibitions such as EcoBuild and Garden Centre Expo 2024, and direct architect/specifier engagement.

The company serves five primary customer segments: DIY homeowners, professional installers and contractors, architects and specifiers, playground and recreation facilities, and local authorities. Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional one-time purchases, with no subscription, recurring, or disclosed contract structures. Awards from BUILD UK (2018-2021) and SME UK (2022-2023) provide third-party validation. The company is independently owned by Roy Potter with 1-10 employees, no external funding, and no disclosed revenue.
