Costs vary by surface type, size of the damaged area and whether the sub-base needs rebuilding. As a guide, small pothole repairs or tarmac patching often start around £150–£350, while block paving repairs with lifting, re-levelling and re-sanding are commonly £300–£900. Re-sealing is typically priced per m² and may range from £8–£18/m². Drainage fixes can add £250–£1,200 depending on complexity.
Many repairs are completed in a single visit. Minor block paving repairs, weed removal and re-sanding can take 2–6 hours, while larger re-levelling areas or multiple patches may take 1–2 days.

Timescales depend on access, how much lifting is required, and whether drainage channels or soakaway adjustments are needed.
