Done Right

Why quick patches fail, and what the right repair actually involves

Skipping the inspection step is where most court repairs go wrong. Here is what that costs you.

Patch Over Bad Drainage

Applying new acrylic over a low spot traps water underneath, and the coating lifts within one rainy season.

Drainage Correction First

A surface slope check identifies low spots before patching, so drainage is corrected before any new coat goes down.

Rigid Filler in Cracks

Hard, non-flexible fillers crack again quickly because they cannot move with Fort Lauderdale’s heat expansion cycles.

Flexible Crack Compound

A flexible crack filling compound is used so the repair moves with the surface instead of splitting open again.

Lines Painted Too Early

Striping over an unsealed or still-curing surface causes line paint to peel within weeks of the job finishing.

Stripe After Sealing

Line striping is applied only after the repaired surface is fully sealed, so lines bond to a clean, stable coat.

No Color Match Check

Patched areas that do not match the surrounding surface stand out visually and signal incomplete repair work.

Patch Material Matching

Patch compound and acrylic coating are color-matched to the existing surface before application begins.

Scope of Work

What court resurfacing repairs & maintenance covers

From a single crack to a full surface refresh, the scope is set by what the inspection finds, not a standard package.

Surface Prep & Cleaning

Pressure washing and debris removal before any repair.

Sealant Application

Protective sealant to extend the resurfacing interval.

Bounce & Play Inspection

Post-repair check for traction, bounce, and standing water.

Color Match Verification

Patch areas checked against the existing surface color.

Fix It Right

A surface inspection comes before any patching or resurfacing decision

Applying a new coat over a drainage problem or base movement will not hold, the inspection determines the right fix.

Fort Lauderdale’s UV intensity and heat cycles cause acrylic coatings to fade and crack faster than in cooler climates. Year-round use means courts rarely get a rest period, so surface wear accumulates steadily. The first step in any repair job is a bounce and play inspection that checks crack patterns, surface slope, and drainage paths before any material is ordered.

Hairline cracks that have not reached the base layer are filled with a flexible crack compound, then sealed and color-matched to the existing surface. Where the base has shifted or drainage is pooling, surface patching alone will not hold. In those cases, the written scope covers drainage correction or surface leveling before any new acrylic coating is applied.

Line striping is done after the surface is repaired and sealed, so new lines sit on a clean, stable coat. Sealant application extends the interval between resurfacing cycles. A final walkthrough confirms color match, line placement, and that no standing water remains on the court after a simulated rinse.

Common Questions

Questions about court resurfacing repairs & maintenance

  • What problems can court resurfacing repairs fix?

    Repairs address cracks, low spots, surface delamination, faded or worn coatings, and uneven areas that affect play. They can also restore traction where the surface has become slick from wear. Drainage-related surface damage can be corrected once the underlying cause is identified.

  • How do I know if my court needs repairs or a full resurfacing?

    Isolated cracks, small low spots, or a single worn zone usually point to targeted repairs. Widespread cracking, large areas of surface failure, or a base that has shifted typically mean a full resurfacing is the more cost-effective path. An on-site evaluation is the only reliable way to tell which applies to your court.

  • Will a patch on its own solve the problem, or will it come back?

    A patch holds when the base beneath it is stable and the surrounding surface is still sound. If the base has shifted or moisture is getting underneath, the same crack or low spot will reopen. Fixing the root cause before patching is what separates a lasting repair from a temporary one.

  • Why is my court cracking or breaking up again so soon?

    Recurring cracks almost always mean the base layer is moving, settling, or holding moisture. Surface-only patches cannot stop movement in the sub-base. In South Florida’s heat and rain cycles, an unstable base expands and contracts enough to reopen a repair within one season if the underlying issue is not corrected first.

  • Why is water pooling or seeping into the court surface?

    Pooling usually means the court has lost its designed slope, the surface has developed low spots, or the drainage outlets are blocked. Water that seeps in through cracks accelerates base deterioration and speeds up surface failure. Correcting the grade or drainage path is necessary before any surface repair will last.

  • Is a slippery court always a resurfacing problem?

    Not always. Algae or mold growth from standing water can make a structurally sound surface slippery, and a thorough clean sometimes restores safe traction. If the surface coating itself has worn smooth, resurfacing with a textured acrylic layer is the correct fix. An on-site look distinguishes one from the other.

  • Can a repair match the rest of the court surface?

    Color matching is possible but rarely perfect on an aged court, since the existing surface has faded over time. Texture can be matched closely by using the same acrylic system. The most consistent result comes from resurfacing the full court after structural repairs, so color and texture are uniform across the whole playing area.

  • How well will the repaired surface hold up in rain and regular play?

    A repair done over a stable, properly prepared base holds up well under regular play and South Florida rain. Surface prep quality is the deciding factor, repairs applied over contaminated or unstable areas fail early. Every job starts with base evaluation and surface preparation before any new material goes down.
