What Goes Wrong

Why some crack repairs fail within one season

The repair method matters as much as the materials, here is where shortcuts show up.

Skipped Surface Prep

Coating applied over dirt, algae, or loose material bonds to the contamination layer, not the base, and peels at the first heat cycle.

Pressure Wash First

Pressure washing removes all loose material and contaminants before an adhesion check confirms the base is ready to accept the new coat.

Raised Crack Patches

Filler applied above the surrounding surface leaves a ridge that telegraphs through the finish coat and creates an uneven playing surface.

Feathered Flush Fill

Acrylic crack filler is worked into the void and feathered smooth with a squeegee so the repair sits level with the surrounding surface.

Single-Pass on Wide Cracks

Acrylic filler shrinks slightly as it cures, one pass on a wider crack leaves a sunken channel that shows through the color coat.

Second-Pass Cure Check

Wider cracks get a second filler pass after the first application cures, ensuring the repair is fully flush before resurfacer is applied.

Drainage Ignored

Atlanta’s heavy summer rain collects in low spots and widens existing cracks, coating over them without addressing drainage accelerates the damage.

Low-Spot Check at Fill Stage

Drainage is assessed during the crack-fill stage so low areas are identified and addressed before resurfacer and color coat go down.

Scope of Work

What crack repair & coating covers

This service addresses surface-level damage on existing asphalt or concrete courts, from hairline cracks to worn, faded coatings.

Crack Filling & Feathering

Acrylic crack filler applied into the void and feathered flush with a squeegee for a level, ridge-free repair.

Acrylic Resurfacer Application

Resurfacer spread across the affected area or full court surface to restore a consistent, bondable base for the color coat.

Color Coat Application

Squeegee-applied color coat with back-rolling to ensure even coverage and a uniform finish across the playing surface.

Surface Prep & Adhesion Check

Pressure washing and adhesion testing before any filler or coating goes down, on both asphalt and concrete bases.

Hairline Crack Repair

Fine cracks cleaned out and filled before they widen.

Peeling Coating Removal

Loose or flaking finish stripped before recoating.

Low-Spot Assessment

Drainage checked and flagged during the fill stage.

Full-Court Recoat

Resurfacer and color coat applied across the whole surface.

Prep First, Then Coat

Why surface prep determines whether a crack repair actually holds

Coating over an unprepped surface bonds to the contamination layer, not the base, and peels within one season.

The process starts with pressure washing to remove dirt, algae, and any loose coating material. An adhesion check follows to confirm the existing surface will accept the new coat. Atlanta’s heat cycles and UV intensity accelerate surface fading and cause existing coatings to lose adhesion at the edges of cracks, skipping this step is the most common reason a repair fails early.

Cracks are filled with acrylic crack filler applied into the void and feathered flush with the surrounding surface using a squeegee or trowel. The feathered edge prevents a visible ridge under the finished coat. Wider cracks may require a second pass after the first application shrinks slightly during cure. Heavy summer rain in Atlanta collects in low spots and widens existing cracks, so drainage is checked at this stage.

Once the crack filler has cured, acrylic resurfacer is applied across the affected area or the full court surface, depending on the scope confirmed at inspection. Color coat follows using a squeegee application with back-rolling to ensure even coverage. The finished surface is checked for uniformity before the job is closed out.

Common Questions

Questions about crack repair & coating

Will the repaired crack show through the finished coating?

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.

Can coating go over a court that already has peeling paint or surface dirt?

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.

What happens if cracks are left without repair through Atlanta’s summer rain season?

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.

Is crack repair the same as a full court rebuild?

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.
