Tennis Court Repairs

Keeping up with Tennis Court Repairs helps to extend the life of your surface and can help reduce the need for costly repairs. Having the proper drainage system installed and regularly checking to make sure that it is working properly can minimise water penetration to the base of the court which can cause problems such as settlement, heaving and early deterioration of the asphalt. Caulking and sealing expansion joints to prevent water penetrating below the slab is another helpful way to keep the life of your tennis court long. Regularly cleaning and clearing the area drains on the edges of your court to remove any clogging with debris, leaf litter or weeds can also help to minimise the time between resurfacing.

Tennis Court Repairs 101: A Comprehensive Guide

Resurfacing your tennis court involves replacing the existing acrylic or asphalt-based surface with a new layer of material. This will create a new, smoother playing surface and improve ball bounce and overall performance. Resurfacing will also eliminate any cracks, birdbaths or divots and increase traction to prevent slipping on the surface.

The most common sign that your tennis court is in need of repair or resurfacing services is visible cracking throughout the entire surface. This can be caused by environmental factors such as freezing and thawing or can be a sign of bigger issues underneath the surface that need to be addressed. Other common signs that your court needs repair are low spots or birdbaths, faded lines, and slick areas on the surface.
