How often does an acrylic court need resurfacing?
Every 4 to 8 years, depending on sun exposure, usage, and base movement. Annual maintenance extends surface life significantly. The base condition is the key variable. We assess this on every site visit.
What is the difference between Plexipave and Rebound Ace?
Both are multi-coat acrylic systems applied over a prepared concrete base. Plexipave uses a textured colour coat with a cushioned underlayer option. Rebound Ace is the system used on Melbourne Park and many club courts. The right choice depends on the base, the budget, and the surface feel preferred. We advise on this during the site visit.
Does the base need to be repaired before resurfacing?
Always assessed, not always repaired. Minor surface cracking often needs crack filling only. Structural base movement (subsidence, drainage failure, joint failure) requires base repair before any surface goes down. We will not resurface over a base that isn't ready.
How long does resurfacing take?
Standard acrylic re-coat with crack repair and line marking: 3 to 5 days on site, plus 5 to 7 days cure time before play. We confirm the exact timeline in the written proposal.
Do you resurface En Tout Cas courts?
We convert En Tout Cas courts to acrylic or synthetic grass. A like-for-like En Tout Cas rejuvenation is possible in some cases. We'll advise which makes more sense for the condition of the court during the site visit.
What affects the cost of resurfacing?
Base condition, surface type chosen, court size, and any additional scope: fencing, drainage, lighting. This is why we don't quote over the phone. The site visit determines the scope; the written proposal states the cost.
