The most cost-effective option is resurfacing. This typically addresses surface issues and is usually done when a tennis court starts to show signs of wear and tear. A fresh resurface usually lasts for about five years depending on the amount of play and climate conditions.
Most cracks are cosmetic and can be fixed with a concrete or asphalt patch binder that fills the crack and levels the surface. A resurfacing contractor will clean the crack of any dirt or debris, let it dry completely and then apply a coat of the patching material. A resurfacing contractor will also use a roller to level the surface and add new acrylic playing lines.
