Tennis Court Maintenance,
Cleaning & Repairs
Keep your court safe, playable, and looking its best with an annual deep clean, regular chemical treatments, and a structured tennis court maintenance programme tailored to your surface type.
With Regular Maintenance, Common Problems On These Surfaces Can Be Solved
Porous macadam - the tarmac-derived base used in most UK hard courts - is the most widely found court surface in Britain. Without regular attention, moss and mould take hold in the surface matrix, causing the macadam to break up. Loose stone creates a slip hazard and leaves unsightly holes that worsen quickly if left untreated. The good news is that most of these problems are preventable. A consistent court cleaning and chemical treatment programme stops deterioration before it becomes expensive to fix.
Regular Court Maintenance For Macadam Surfaces
We recommend an annual deep clean combined with regular chemical treatments to control moss, algae, and organic build-up in the macadam surface. Left unchecked, this contamination blocks drainage and accelerates surface deterioration. Re-painting or re-binding every five years keeps the colour coat intact and protects the base below.
Court Re-painting And Re-binding
Faded lines, worn colour coats, and a surface that no longer drains freely are all signs that your hard court is due for attention. We offer a full re-lining, painting tennis courts, binding, and resurfacing service that restores the playing quality and appearance of your court to a high, long-lasting finish.

Artificial grass tennis courts with a sand-filled or sand-dressed surface are popular with private owners, sports clubs, community facilities, and schools. The pile height is typically 18 to 24mm, and the surface is finished with fine silica sand to deliver a consistent playing experience in all weathers.
Regular Court Maintenance For Sand-Filled And Sand-Dressed Courts
We recommend a tennis court maintenance programme of at least two visits per year from new, combined with regular chemical treatments to manage moss and algae. A well-maintained sand-filled or sand-dressed surface can outlast the manufacturer's warranty by as much as 50% and ensures good playability throughout the year. Periodic part rejuvenations extend this further still.
Full & Part Rejuvenation
Part or full rejuvenation involves replacing the infill - the silica sand that gives the surface its drainage and playing characteristics - and restores drainage performance and ball response to near-new condition. This is the right intervention for surfaces that have gone without regular maintenance, or for older courts that are playing slowly and draining poorly but do not yet need a full resurface.
Court Re-lining
Using two-pack polyurethane paints, we can re-line or add new lines to your tennis court or multi-use games area - including netball, 5/7-a-side football, hockey D's, and mini hockey.

Artificial clay is a specially manufactured artificial grass surface heavily in-filled with fine silica sand to replicate the speed and feel of a natural clay court. It plays more slowly than a hard surface and is popular with players who prefer the bounce and movement of clay - without the intensive upkeep a natural clay court demands.
Regular Court Maintenance For Artificial Clay
Artificial clay requires two to three maintenance visits per year. Each visit includes de-compaction - mechanically loosening the compacted silica infill so the surface plays as intended - infill filtration to remove contaminated material, and top-up or replacement of the infill where needed. Moss and algae treatments are also carried out at each visit to keep the surface safe and free-draining.
Court Re-lining
Using two-pack polyurethane paints, we can re-line or add new lines to your artificial clay court or multi-use games area - including netball, 5/7-a-side football, hockey D's, and mini hockey. Crisp, clearly defined lines make a real difference to how a court looks and how confidently players use it.
Acrylic hard courts deliver a fast, consistent playing surface, but in the UK climate they present particular maintenance challenges. Because the surface is non-porous, standing water is common for much of the year. Mould, moss, and algae thrive in these conditions, and compacted debris leads to a slippery, dangerous surface that can flood after heavy rain. Addressed early, these problems are straightforward to manage.
Regular Court Maintenance For Acrylic Hard Courts
Because acrylic surfaces are non-porous, water sits on top rather than draining away - so regular court cleaning and chemical treatments are essential from the outset. We recommend periodic part rejuvenation to address compacted debris and restore grip. Investing in water removal equipment is also advisable to limit the time the surface sits wet and the associated moss and algae risk.
Court Re-lining
Using two-pack polyurethane paints, we can re-line or add new lines to your acrylic court or multi-use games area - including netball, 5/7-a-side football, hockey D's, and mini hockey.

Tennis Court Surfaces: Installation, Resurfacing, And Maintenance
We have over 20 years of industry experience across the four main tennis court surfaces: porous macadam hard courts, acrylic hard courts, sand-filled artificial grass, and artificial clay. Our work spans installation, resurfacing, renovation, and ongoing tennis court maintenance - everything a court needs across its full life.
We also carry out associated works including new fencing, netting, posts, and re-lining. If you want to convert your court into a MUGA (multi-use games area - a single surface marked up for tennis, netball, basketball, and more), we can add the appropriate lines and make the necessary adjustments.
Regular Maintenance Of Different Tennis Surfaces
A consistent maintenance programme is the single most effective way to protect your court investment and keep it safe and playable for longer. Courts at private properties are particularly vulnerable - used only part of the year, they can accumulate moss, algae, and standing water quickly if left unattended.
Our structured programmes include annual deep cleaning using specialist pressure-washing equipment and professional-grade chemical treatments - including AlgoClear Pro - to manage moss and algae at the root. For porous macadam courts, painting a tennis court or re-binding the surface every five years or so prevents deterioration and keeps the court looking sharp. We agree a schedule around your facility's calendar, not ours.
Renovation And Replacement Of Tennis Court Surfaces
If your court surface is damaged, unsafe, or simply past its best, we can assess what it needs and give you a clear, all-inclusive recommendation - whether that is targeted tennis court repairs, a full resurface, or an upgrade to a different surface type altogether. One of our experienced team will visit, assess the court's condition, and provide honest guidance based on what we find.
Whether you have taken on a neglected court at a new property or your club's courts have deteriorated through heavy use, we can help. Even a court that looks beyond saving may still be renovated at a fraction of the cost of replacement. We will always tell you honestly which option makes the most sense for your situation and your budget.
Experienced Professionals In Tennis Court Surfaces
All installation and resurfacing work carries a 15-year commercial warranty and 10-year artificial grass. Artificial grass tennis court installations carry a 10-year warranty.
Where total resurfacing is needed, we can replace an existing surface like-for-like - for example, laying a new 40mm (compacted to 32mm) porous macadam base on a hard court - or upgrade to a different surface entirely, such as artificial grass or an acrylic colour coat, depending on your requirements and budget.
Grass Tennis Courts: Installation, Maintenance, And Repairs
Does your lawn tennis court need a general refresh or a more substantial upgrade? Whether it is faded lines, worn surface areas, or ageing posts and netting, we carry out the full range of tennis court repair and renovation work to bring your court back to a standard your players will notice. We also install modern LED floodlighting where it is required.
Repainting And Binding For Tennis Court Turf
If your grass tennis court is showing visible wear, tennis court paint - a fresh acrylic colour coat applied over the existing surface - can restore both appearance and playing performance in a single visit. It is also an opportunity to choose a new colour if you want to update the look of the court.
For more significant surface problems, we can apply an acrylic binder to stabilise the base, repaint the surface in your chosen colour, and reline it. This is considerably cheaper than a full resurface and is the right solution for surfaces that are structurally sound but visually tired.
Renovation And Conversion Of Grass Tennis Courts
If you are considering switching from one surface to another - for example, moving away from tarmacadam to an artificial grass surface - we can manage the full conversion. Our artificial grass tennis courts are available in single and dual-colour options, with playing speeds selected to suit your club's preferences or individual requirements.
Older lawn tennis courts with deteriorating surfaces are increasingly being converted to artificial grass. The cushioned, all-weather surface appeals to clubs and private owners alike, and developments in surface technology over recent years have made these courts more durable and easier to maintain than ever before.
