Court Resurfacing Repairs & Maintenance Questions

Crack pattern is the clearest indicator. Isolated surface cracks usually need filling and recoating. Cracks that run in a grid or follow a consistent direction typically point to sub-base movement, which requires base repair first. The on-site evaluation gives you a written answer before any work is priced.

Water enters the crack, sits under the acrylic layer, and expands during freeze-thaw cycles. Each winter widens the crack and undermines more of the sub-base. A repair that costs a few hundred dollars today can become a full base reconstruction costing several times more after two or three seasons of water damage.

Yes, if the existing surface is structurally sound, properly cleaned, patched, and primed first. Skipping surface preparation is the main reason recoats fail early. We arrange builders who follow the manufacturer’s preparation standard and cure interval before any new coating goes down.

Cure time depends on the coating product and ambient temperature, but most acrylic systems require at least 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic and longer before line marking is applied. The builder will confirm the specific interval for the product used on your court.

Yes. Line marking is applied after the recoat has fully cured, and the final walkthrough confirms dimensions match the regulation spec for your sport. Multi-sport layouts are marked in separate colours to keep each court’s lines readable.
