Restore, Protect & Rejuvenate Your Tarmac Surfaces
Tarmac surfaces naturally fade, dry out and lose their rich colour over time due to constant exposure to sunlight, rain, vehicles and day-to-day wear. Instead of expensive resurfacing, a high-quality tarmac paint or coating can instantly revive the look of your surface and provide long-lasting protection. At Slip-Not, we supply premium tarmac paints and coatings designed for UK driveways, car parks, pathways and commercial sites — helping you achieve a fresh, uniform finish that lasts.
Why Use a Tarmac Paint or Coating?
Tarmac coatings are one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to maintain and extend the life of your surface. A good quality product will:
-
Restore colour and make old, faded tarmac look like new
-
Seal and protect against oil, petrol, water and UV damage
-
Reduce cracking and erosion by preventing moisture ingress
-
Improve durability for areas with heavy footfall or vehicle use
-
Make cleaning and maintenance easier all year round
Whether it's a driveway, playground, forecourt or warehouse yard, a tarmac coating keeps surfaces looking smart, clean and professional.

Choosing the Right Product for Your Surface
When selecting a coating, consider:
| Factor | What to Think About |
|---|---|
| Traffic Level | Light domestic driveways vs heavy commercial areas |
| Finish | Standard black, coloured finish, or a richer rejuvenated look |
| Surface Condition | Whether cracks, stains or loose areas need pre-repair |
| Application Method | Roller, brush or sprayer depending on coating type |
If your surface is heavily worn, cleaning and small repairs before coating will ensure a longer-lasting finish.
Application Tips for Best Results
Follow these steps for a strong, professional outcome:
-
Clean the surface thoroughly — remove debris, weeds and oil stains
-
Allow the surface to dry completely before coating
-
Repair cracks or damaged areas if needed
-
Apply the coating evenly using a roller, brush or sprayer
-
Avoid puddling — maintain smooth coverage

Allow proper curing time before vehicle traffic or heavy use
With correct preparation and application, a tarmac coating can protect your surface for years.
