While the longevity of your Tennis Court Repairs will vary depending on the surface type, resurfacing can extend its lifespan by up to 75%. Keeping up with maintenance repairs will also save you time and money and will reduce the need for resurfacing.

The cost of resurfacing will depend on the size of your court and how much damage needs to be repaired prior to resurfacing. The process includes the removal of existing layers and the application of a new acrylic or asphalt-based product to the surface. It can include crack repair, filling low spots and adding a cushioned coating system if desired.

Resurfacing vs. Repair: Making the Right Choice for Your Tennis Court

Crack repair is a critical component of any resurfacing project. It will be more cost-effective to apply water-based acrylic crack fillers as soon as a crack is discovered rather than waiting until it is too late and the crack has grown larger. Before applying a crack filler, it is recommended that you check the weather forecast to make sure that there isn’t a lot of rain on the way that could saturate the ground underneath the surface.

It is important to sweep your surface regularly to remove dirt, twigs and other debris that can cause damage to the court. Regular sweeping can also prevent mildew and mold growth. Using nylon or hair-type brushes for scrubbing is preferable to metal brooms that can scratch the surface. Using a pressure washer to clean your court is fine, but make sure that you limit the amount of pressure and don’t hold the tip of the nozzle too close to the surface or coatings can be damaged.
