A surface and drainage inspection is the first step. The builder checks crack depth and spread, coating adhesion, drainage flow, and slip resistance before recommending spot repair or full resurfacing. Skipping this step and going straight to recoating over failing substrate is the most common reason a resurfaced court deteriorates again within a season.
Crack filling uses a flexible patch filler applied to clean, dry surfaces. Pressure washing removes mildew, algae, and loose coating before any filler or acrylic is applied, Orlando’s humidity and heat cycles promote surface growth that prevents new coatings from bonding correctly. Once cured, acrylic recoating is applied in multiple passes for a consistent, UV-stable finish.
Line striping is the final stage. Faded or incorrect lines are re-marked to regulation dimensions after the coating cures fully. If the court is being converted to a different sport or adding a second game layout, line color selection is confirmed at this stage so contrasting colors read clearly under both daylight and artificial lighting.

Questions about court resurfacing, repair, and maintenance
Do cracks mean the whole court needs resurfacing?
Not always. Hairline or isolated cracks can often be filled and sealed without a full resurface, but widespread cracking across multiple zones usually signals base failure that spot repairs cannot fix. The deciding factor is whether the sub-base is still stable. An on-site evaluation will confirm which scope is appropriate before any work is quoted.
Can a patch or cleaner fix this, or do I need resurfacing repair?
A cleaner removes algae and surface grime but does nothing for structural damage. A patch works when damage is confined to one small area with a sound base underneath. If cracking, peeling, or drainage issues cover a significant portion of the court, resurfacing repair is the right scope, patching over a failing base just delays the same problem.
Why does my court keep cracking or peeling again after a repair?
Recurring cracks almost always mean the underlying cause was not addressed. Common culprits are base movement from sandy or poorly compacted soil, standing water that softens the sub-base, or a coating applied over a surface that was not properly cleaned and prepared. Fixing the surface without fixing the base or drainage produces the same result every time.
What happens during court resurfacing repair and maintenance?
The process starts with an on-site evaluation of the surface and drainage, followed by an itemised written estimate. Work then covers base preparation, crack filling, resurfacing or recoating, and line striping. A final walkthrough is completed before the job is signed off, so every scope item is confirmed on site rather than assumed.
Will the repair hold up in Florida sun and rain?
Yes, when the right acrylic or sport-surface coating is used and the base is properly prepared. Florida’s UV intensity and afternoon rain cycles accelerate wear on coatings that are applied too thin or over a damp surface. Correct surface prep and appropriate coating thickness are the two factors that determine how long the repair holds in this climate.
Is repainting enough, or do I need deeper repair first?
Repainting over a cracked or uneven surface traps the underlying damage and the new coat will peel within months. Deeper repair, crack filling and base stabilization, must come first. Once the surface is structurally sound, a fresh color coat and line striping will bond correctly and last as expected.
Can maintenance help keep a court from needing bigger repairs?
Yes. Regular cleaning removes organic buildup that traps moisture and accelerates surface breakdown. Catching and sealing small cracks early prevents water from reaching the base, where freeze-thaw cycles and soil movement cause the larger failures that require full resurfacing. Routine maintenance is consistently less costly than deferred repair.
Will the repair fix the cause of the damage, or just cover the wear?
Every job starts with an on-site evaluation of the surface and drainage, so the cause is identified before any work begins. If drainage or base issues are driving the damage, those are addressed in the scope. Covering wear without fixing the cause is not a repair, it is a delay.
