I have been trying to track down some RED macadam cold repair products to fix some bad cracks in my drive, I've found a couple...Watco do a good one but it is very very expensive @ £60 for 25kg. I know Supamix do a red product but can't seem to track it down. Any help in pointing me to a supplier of a suitable product, I know I'll need some cold pour sealant as well, and I will be very grateful. I am in the Basingstoke/Reading area
Thank you......

My alternative was to get a pro to repair it......if thats what you meant ?
I'll take some pics tomorrow of the cracks and post. The main one is where a drain has "raised" some of the tarmac, laid 14 years ago, water has got underneath and lifted it. I think the concrete sub base is Ok. There are some fine side to side cracks that need no more than filling but the state of the driveway is generally pretty good. In general its not too big a job.
I did consider getting it relayed but @ 13 m x 5 m I was quoted between £2200 and £5500 (!) the lower one seemed about right and all quotes were stripping off old tarmac down to base...repairing base if required and laying fresh tarmac and replacing the two small drains by the garage doors with a single drive wide drain. But its a shared drive and I don't think the couple next door can afford half at the moment
