Court Surface Restoration
Stop cracks spreading and get a flat, even playing surface back, without replacing the whole court.
What Goes Wrong
The difference between a coating that lasts and one that peels within a season comes down to prep, not product.
Applying acrylic coating over a surface with poor adhesion traps moisture underneath, causing the new layer to bubble and peel within months.
A surface bond test before any coating identifies weak spots so they are patched or primed before the finish coat goes down.
Painting over open cracks without filling them lets water re-enter the joint; freeze-thaw cycles then widen the crack through the new coating.
Joint cracks are filled with flexible acrylic filler or sand-filled patching compound that bonds to the base and accepts a finish coat without cracking.
Low spots and inadequate slope cause standing water after rain; recoating without correcting them means puddles return on the new surface.
Low-spot leveling compound restores the surface slope so water drains clear of the playing area before the finish coat is applied.
Applying the next acrylic layer before the previous one has fully cured is the most common cause of early peeling on resurfaced outdoor courts.
Each coating layer is applied only after the previous one has cured to the manufacturer’s specified interval, giving the finish coat a stable bond.
Scope of Work
From a single cracked section to a full recoat with drainage correction, the scope is set by what the base and existing coating actually show.
Acrylic filler or sand-filled patching compound is worked into cracks and joints, then sanded flush before any coating is applied.
Worn, sunken, or delaminated areas are patched with leveling compound to restore a flat playing surface within tolerance before recoating.
High-pressure washing removes dirt, algae, and loose coating so the new acrylic layer bonds directly to a clean, stable substrate.
Multiple acrylic coating layers are applied at the correct recoat intervals to deliver a consistent, durable playing surface with regulation line marking.
Low spots and slope deficiencies are identified during the bond test and corrected with leveling base before the finish coat is applied.
Crack filling and recoating on asphalt sub-base courts.
Patching compound and acrylic recoat on concrete base courts.
Section replacement and recoating for modular tile systems.
Fresh line marking applied after the finish coat cures.
Why Choose Us
Every resurfacing enquiry is handled the same way: an on-site evaluation first, an itemised written estimate second, and a final walkthrough before the project closes.
Every enquiry starts with an on-site evaluation that documents base condition, slope, and drainage before scope is agreed.
Crack repair, leveling, coating layers, and line marking are listed as separate line items, no lump-sum figures.
Recoat intervals and cure times are included in the estimate so the timeline is set before work starts, not adjusted on site.
We arrange a local court builder whose experience matches your base type, asphalt, concrete, or modular tile system.
Lines, anchors, and surface finish are checked at a final walkthrough before the project is signed off and closed.
The Process
01
Tell us the court type, base material, and the symptoms you are seeing, cracks, puddling, peeling, or fading.
02
A local court builder visits, runs a bond test and drainage check, and delivers an itemised written estimate covering all repair and coating work.
03
The builder completes prep, patching, and finish coat application, then a final walkthrough confirms lines, surface finish, and drainage before close.
