Colour Hard Court Surfacing​

​​​​​​​​​​​From pickleball to school netball courts and community tennis clubs to private residential basketball setups, a court should provide the best possible surface quality, ball bounce and slip resistance. We deliver projects across the upper North Island using what we believe is the best quality surfacing products in the market, with a do it once, do it right approach.

Court Surfacing Process. Substrate to Surface Finish

A long-lasting acrylic court relies on what happens beneath the topcoat. Our systematic approach ensures complete adhesion, long lasting courts, and a smooth, high-traction play surfaces that stands up to the harsh New Zealand sun.

​

1. Substrate Inspection & Mechanical Prep

Depending on the state of the concrete slab or asphalt surface, we will wash or diamond grind to create a smooth clean surface for the primer and resurfacer coats. Don't have a surface yet? We can put you in touch with civil contractors to take care of the initial construction for you.

​

2. Structural Crack Repair & Patching

All surfaces, even brand new ones will have cracks and surface defects. We fill using high-flexibility acrylic patching compounds or structural epoxies designed to bridge expansion joints. We then grind smooth with our application specific in-house grinding equipment.

​

3. Depression Levelling (Low Spot / Birdbath)

Standing water ruins play and captures dirt. We flood the court to identify low spots (birdbaths deeper than a 2mm coin width) and level them using specialised acrylic levelling resurfacer mix prior to coating. Completely flat courts will always hold some water, we aim to reduce puddle depth so drying time is shorter.

4. Multi-Layer Acrylic System Application

• Resurfacer Basecoat Mapei TNS Extreme: Formulated with graded silica sand to fill surface voids in concrete or asphalt, creating a uniform, high-bond foundation.
• Textured Acrylic Colour Coats: Premium 100% acrylic wear coats blended with rounded silica sand for consistent ball bounce and predictable non-slip traction underfoot.
• UV-Resistant Finish Seal: Vibrant, fade-resistant colour pigments formulated to withstand harsh New Zealand UV levels.

5. Precision Line Marking

Applied using high-pigment, sharp-edge acrylic line paint engineered for high visibility, matching official council, school, or sport-governing body specifications (Tennis NZ, Netball NZ, FIBA).
