Over time, tennis courts naturally develop surface wear, cracks, and performance issues due to constant use, weather conditions, and ground movement. In Sandton and surrounding areas such as Bryanston and Fourways, maintaining a high-quality playing surface is essential.

In many cases, a tennis court does not need to be rebuilt completely. Professional resurfacing or repair can restore the surface and extend its lifespan — provided the underlying base is still in good condition.

What Is Tennis Court Resurfacing?

Tennis court resurfacing is the process of restoring the playing surface by applying a new coating system over the existing structure.

• the base is still stable
• damage is limited to the surface

Resurfacing improves:

• playability
• appearance
• durability

Common Tennis Court Problems

1. Surface Cracks

Cracks may appear due to ground movement, temperature changes, and aging materials.

2. Fading and Surface Wear

The coating system fades over time and loses grip.

3. Water Pooling

Poor drainage and levels cause water to collect on the surface.

4. Uneven Surfaces

Often caused by weak base or improper compaction.

Repair vs Resurfacing vs Rebuilding

Repairs

Used for minor cracks and small damaged areas.

Resurfacing

Best when the base is strong but the surface is worn.

Rebuilding

Required when the base has failed or major cracking is present.

When Resurfacing Is Not Enough

Resurfacing cannot fix structural cracks, weak foundations, or severe uneven surfaces.

Common Mistake

Many contractors apply new coatings without fixing underlying problems, causing cracks to return.
