A faded, cracked court or one whose bounce has changed rarely needs demolishing; crack repair and new acrylic coats can get it back into play.
Signs it needs resurfacing
Faded colours, a surface that has lost its texture and become slippery, worn lines, cracks and puddles after rain all show it is time.
Assess first
The type and width of cracks, the condition of the concrete or asphalt base and ponding spots are checked, and the scope of work is set accordingly.
Crack repair and levelling
Cracks are repaired with a suitable filler and low spots corrected with levelling mortar. This is essential for a clean-looking new surface.
New coats
After cleaning, filler and colour coats are applied and lines are repainted. It is also a good moment to change the colour scheme.
How often?
The interval depends on use, climate and care; regular cleaning extends it.
