The cost of resin mortar for these intricate sett patterns isn't as scary as you might initially think.
The fans we did 18 months ago worked out at around 3-4m² per 25kg bag, so roughly a tenner per m², which compares favourably with traditional pointing. Obviously, mortar slurry is cheaper, but when you factor in the length of time it takes, plus the cleaning, there's not a lot in it.
However, the fact that the resin mortars can be power-washed to buggery and back with no ill effect, no loss of material, and the joints come up looking like new every time is a major plus for these prestige jobs.
