Resurfacing means pressure-cleaning the base, patching cracks with a flexible filler, applying an acrylic resurfacer in several coats, then a colour coat and line marking. If the base itself has moved - which happens more often on reactive clay soils common across Western Sydney and parts of the Hunter - a full rebuild of the base is needed before any coating goes down. Patching a bad base is a waste of money that fails again within a year or two.
Crack repair, colour coating and line marking for tennis, netball and multi-purpose courts. Cost depends mainly on court size and how much crack repair the surface needs before recoating.
Synthetic turf systems for tennis and multi-sport courts - lower glare, softer on joints, less frequent resurfacing than acrylic. Installed cost depends on court size and the turf system specified, so it's best confirmed with a site quote.
Cushioned acrylic systems for backyard half-courts through to full netball courts, with proper key and line marking to official dimensions where required.
Chain-mesh or clear-view fencing repairs and LED court lighting upgrades, usually quoted alongside a resurfacing job to save on scaffolding and access costs.
NSW weather varies widely, and coatings are sensitive to it. Bureau of Meteorology statistics for Bourke Airport, as at September 2026, average 24 days a year at 40°C or more, 10.2 of them in January, and 7.7 days a year at or below freezing. Cabramurra's BOM station, 1,482 m up, averages 77.4 days a year at or below freezing, 19.4 of them in July, and no days at 40°C or more. Coatings and turf adhesives have temperature limits for application and curing, so the right months depend on where the court is.
The planning baseline is statewide. Under the NSW Codes SEPP, building a tennis court is exempt development only on a lot of at least 1 hectare in a rural zone or Zone R5, and only if the court has no lighting, needs no more than 600 mm of cut or fill, is set back at least 5 m from side and rear boundaries and meets other conditions. A new court on an ordinary suburban block, or one with lighting, falls outside those rules, so speak to your council before booking.
Club and council courts on Crown reserves add another step. NSW Crown Lands says that where work on a reserve needs a development application or complying development certificate, the landowner's consent must come from the Minister or the Department. The reserve's Crown land manager, or a club holding a lease or licence, cannot give it. If your court is on a Crown reserve, mention it when you enquire.
A backyard tennis court, a basketball half-court behind the garage, a multi-sport court on acreage: we build them new and we resurface the ones already there, and the home court is most of our work. A new court starts with the base. We look at how the ground falls, what it is made of and where the water will go, because a base laid to the wrong fall cracks the surface within a few seasons. Access comes next: a backyard court has to be reached past the house with the machinery, where an acreage court usually has room to work but further to bring materials in. Then the surface, the fence and the lights, and only then colours and lines.
Club and community courts, the kind a PCYC, a school or a holiday park runs, take heavier use, often more than one set of lines on the same surface, and a program that fits around the people using the place: a school court in the holidays, a holiday park court before the season starts, weather allowing.
We cover the whole state: Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong, the Hunter and the Illawarra, and regional towns out to Bourke and Cabramurra. Travel distance changes both the cost and the timing of a job on a statewide service, so put your suburb or town on the form, say whether it is a new build or a resurface, and if you are a long way out, check with us before you plan around a date.
