Do I need to resurface my court?
You may need resurfacing when color and texture are worn but the slab is still structurally sound, drainage is acceptable, and the main problem is the acrylic sport surface on top. Faded coating, soft grip, or tired lines are common triggers. Heaving slabs, chronic pooling, or widespread base failure usually point to repair or rebuild instead of coating alone.
How do I know when to resurface my court?
Look for faded or chalky color, surface cracks that need proper repair before new coats, peeling or delamination, slick or inconsistent grip, and standing water in low spots. If cracks run through the concrete itself, edges lift, or the slab rocks, the issue is often below the coating and needs more than resurfacing.
Is it better to resurface or redo my court?
Resurfacing is the better path when the slab is sound and wear is mostly in the top coats. Redoing the court (major slab work or replacement) makes sense when the pavement is severely cracked, heaved, or settling, when chronic pooling comes from major slope problems, or when the base was never built for court loads. Resurfacing over a bad foundation wastes money because new coating will not fix movement underneath.
