What Goes Wrong

Common repair shortcuts that leave courts worse than before

Matching the repair method to the actual damage is what separates a surface that holds for years from one that peels again by next season.

Skipping Cure Time

Applying the next acrylic coat before the previous one cures causes delamination, the surface peels within months of the repair.

Staged Coat Application

Each coat is applied by squeegee and roller, then allowed to cure fully before the next pass begins, preventing delamination.

Patching Over Drainage

Filling surface cracks without checking drainage lets standing water reach the base layer, restarting the cracking cycle from below.

Drainage Check First

The inspection maps drainage alongside crack depth so any water-routing issue is addressed before resurfacing begins.

Wrong Filler Compound

Using a rigid filler on a hairline crack that still moves with temperature causes the repair to re-open within one freeze-thaw season.

Compound Matched to Crack

Hairline and structural cracks each get a different flexible patching compound chosen after the inspection maps crack width and depth.

Painting Over Ghost Lines

Repainting lines without masking leaves faded old lines visible through the new coat, creating confusion during play.

Masked Line Repainting

Old lines are masked before repainting so regulation dimensions are clean and no ghost lines bleed through the finished topcoat.

Repair Scope

What court resurfacing repairs cover

From a single cracked panel to a full acrylic recoat, the scope is set by what the inspection finds, not a fixed package.

Crack Filling & Patching

Flexible patching compound fills hairline and structural cracks, bonding to the existing surface before any coating is applied.

Acrylic Recoating

Multiple passes of acrylic coating applied by squeegee and roller restore a uniform, slip-resistant playing surface.

Court Line Repainting

Regulation lines for tennis, basketball, or multi-sport use are masked and repainted over the cured topcoat.

Pressure Washing & Prep

High-pressure washing removes algae, dirt, and loose coating so new product bonds cleanly to the existing surface.

Drainage Inspection

Standing water and drainage paths are assessed to catch base-layer issues before resurfacing seals them in.

Patch Repair Only

Targeted fix for isolated cracks or worn spots.

Full Resurfacing

Complete recoat when wear is widespread across the court.

Line Repainting Only

Fresh regulation lines over an otherwise sound surface.

Slippery Surface Repair

Recoating and drainage fix for courts that stay slick.

Restore Before It Worsens

Surface cracks and peeling coating get worse each season they go unaddressed

Raleigh’s humid summers and occasional freeze-thaw cycles accelerate wear on acrylic court surfaces.

The first step is a surface inspection that maps crack location, width, and depth across the full court. Hairline cracks and wider structural cracks require different filler compounds and application methods, so the inspection determines the repair scope before any product is ordered. Drainage is also checked at this stage, standing water that reaches the base layer through surface cracks accelerates the damage and may indicate a drainage issue that needs to be addressed alongside the surface repair.

Preparation covers pressure washing to remove dirt, algae, and loose coating, followed by crack filling with a flexible patching compound that bonds to the existing surface. Once the filler has cured, acrylic recoating is applied by squeegee and roller in multiple passes, with each coat allowed to cure fully before the next is applied. Skipping cure intervals causes delamination, which is one of the most common reasons a recently resurfaced court starts peeling again within a year.

Line repainting is the final step, applied over the cured topcoat with regulation dimensions for the sport or sports on the court. Faded or incorrect lines are masked and repainted rather than painted over without masking, which leaves ghost lines that confuse play. The court is ready for use 24 to 48 hours after the final coat, depending on temperature and humidity at the time of application.

Common Questions

Questions about court resurfacing repairs in Raleigh

How do I know if my court needs resurfacing or just a small repair?

Isolated cracks or a single peeling patch usually point to a targeted repair, while widespread surface deterioration, multiple low spots, or large areas of worn coating typically call for full resurfacing. An on-site evaluation is the only reliable way to tell, because what looks minor on top can hide base issues underneath.

Can a cracked court be fixed without replacing the whole surface?

Yes, in many cases cracks can be filled and sealed without removing the entire surface. The deciding factor is whether the base underneath is still stable. If cracking is widespread or caused by base movement, a full resurfacing gives a more lasting result than crack filling alone.

Will the repair cover cracks, low spots, peeling, and worn coating?

Yes, resurfacing repairs address all of those issues. Cracks are filled, low spots are leveled, peeling or worn coating is stripped back, and a fresh surface layer is applied. The scope is confirmed during the on-site evaluation and itemized in a written estimate before any work begins.

How soon can my court be inspected and repaired?

Every job starts with an on-site evaluation to assess the surface and drainage before any repair work is scheduled. Contact us through the site and a partner will arrange that visit. Scheduling depends on current workload and weather conditions, both of which affect surface cure times.

What is usually included in court resurfacing repairs?

A standard resurfacing repair covers base preparation, surface patching or full recoating, and line marking. The written estimate itemizes each element, including any drainage corrections, so you know exactly what is being done before work starts.

Will resurfacing stop my court from getting slippery?

A fresh acrylic or textured coating restores the surface grip that worn courts lose over time. Drainage corrections made during the repair also reduce standing water, which is the main cause of slippery conditions after rain. The on-site evaluation checks both surface texture and drainage as part of the assessment.

Can you patch just the damaged section instead of repairing the whole court?

Patching a single section is possible when the damage is contained and the surrounding surface is still sound. If the rest of the court is close to the same wear level, patching one area often leads to another repair shortly after, making full resurfacing the more cost-effective choice.

Should I wait and see if the damage gets worse before fixing it?

Waiting typically makes repairs more expensive. Small cracks let water into the base, and freeze-thaw cycles or heavy rain widen them quickly. A surface issue that costs a straightforward repair today can become a full base replacement if water damage reaches the sub-base.
