Sports Court Resurfacing: What Should Be Checked and What Changes Cost?

Resurfacing starts with the existing court, not the new finish. The project should identify what is structurally sound, what needs repair and what operating changes the new court must support before a realistic product and local-works budget can be prepared.

Planning guidance — final supplied configuration remains project-specific.
Existing sports court resurfacing planning
01

Survey the existing court

Record cracking, failed repairs, ponding, levels, old line markings, coatings, edges and drainage.

02

Define the new use

A resurfacing project can also change the sport mix, line hierarchy, court count, net system or lighting. Resolve those decisions before the finish is selected.

03

Understand what changes the resurfacing budget

Court area is only one cost driver. Crack and slab repair, levelling, drainage correction, removal or preparation of old coatings, new line layouts, edge work, the selected surface system, freight and local installation can all materially change the finished project budget.

Apollo prices the supplied surface package manually from the actual project brief. Local civil repairs, installation and other site works remain separate unless specifically included by the relevant project parties.

04

Separate repair scope from surface supply

Local civil repair and installation scope should be clear so product quotations can be compared on the same basis.
