Substrate prepared, defects repaired, premium acrylic laid, lines marked to the millimetre.
This is the part everyone pictures, and the part where shortcuts cost you years. Our crew prepares the substrate, repairs defects properly, builds the surface in layers with correct cure time between them, and finishes with line marking measured and masked to the millimetre.

No mystery, no jargon — the real sequence on your court.
High-pressure cleaning strips dirt, moss, chalking and loose material. Failed coating is removed rather than coated over, because new acrylic can only be as sound as whatever sits beneath it.
Cracks are cut out, cleaned and filled with the right compound for the movement type. Low spots and ponding areas are levelled with patch binder so water sheds instead of sitting and lifting the coating.
Where the substrate calls for it, we prime to guarantee adhesion. This is the invisible step that decides whether your surface is still bonded in five years or peeling in eighteen months.
Resurfacer and colour coats are applied in multiple passes, each given proper cure time. Layering is what delivers even colour, consistent ball response and the grip level chosen for your sport.
Line marking is the craft the Speedy name was built on. Every layout is measured, chalked, masked and hand-rolled to sport-specific dimensions with sharp, straight, durable edges — no wobble, no bleed.
Custom centre logos, school crests, club emblems and feature graphics are cut and applied on the finished surface, turning a functional court into something people photograph.
The area is contained and signed, the site is left clean each day, and you are told what is happening tomorrow. Court work should not disrupt a school, a club or a household any more than it must.
The shortcuts that ruin courts — and why you will not see them here.
Our crews resurface and mark courts right across Sydney and NSW — schools in the Shire and western Sydney, clubs in Wollongong and Newcastle, councils through Goulburn, Queanbeyan and Canberra. Because we operate round the clock, work can run outside school hours or trading hours where a site needs it.
Most courts are complete within three to seven working days, then need a short cure period before play. Multi-court precincts take longer but can often be staged so part of the facility stays open.
We pause. Acrylic coatings must go down on a dry, workable surface, so we plan around forecasts and resume as soon as conditions allow. We would rather move a date than compromise the finish.
Yes. Round-the-clock scheduling is one of the reasons schools and facilities use us — we can work evenings, weekends and holiday periods to keep disruption down.
Not when the surface is built correctly. Proper preparation and enough colour-coat layers fully obscure previous markings before the new layout goes on.
