Crack Repair And Coating Questions

The goal is a flush, feathered repair that blends into the surrounding surface. A repair that sits level with the base is far less visible under the color coat than one that is raised or sunken.

No. Loose coating and surface contamination have to be removed first. Pressure washing and an adhesion check are done before any filler or resurfacer is applied, the new coat needs to bond to the base, not to the old failing layer.

Heavy summer rain collects in low spots and forces water into existing cracks, widening them over time. A crack that is repairable now can become a larger surface problem by the end of the season, requiring more extensive work.

No. Crack repair and coating address surface-level damage on an existing court. A rebuild is for major structural problems. If the court has deep breaks or serious base movement, a surface repair alone may not be sufficient, the evaluation will flag this.
