Tennis Court Quotes and Consumer Guarantees in Adelaide

What tennis court resurfacing in Adelaide actually involves

Those guarantees are the baseline. What a quote adds is the detail, so a quote that names its parts can be held to them.

What a quote can name

The layers of work: the Barossa Council lists existing court surface removal, base repair, a geo layer, a new asphalt layer, acrylic surfacing layers and line marking for one of its projects. Whether the fence, the kerb, the drainage and the lights are in or out. Which coating data sheet the system works to, and the curing time and weather limits on it: the two sheets read for this site give different numbers, on the data sheets page. Where the wash water and paint waste will go.

Ask for it in writing

Ask for the start and finish dates, what the provider will do if a fault appears, and a statement of which layers and which data sheet the price covers. This site states no price, and nothing here is advice on any quote.

The Consumer and Business Services page applies across South Australia. What Adelaide's councils' pages show is how different two jobs can be under one word: Park Holme re-lined its courts for two sports as part of its resurfacing, and Payneham rebuilt around the surface. The rules check on the costs page lists each line with its source and read date.

Tennis Court Quotes and Consumer Guarantees in Adelaide — common questions

What are my consumer guarantees for a resurfacing?

SA.GOV.AU says services must be provided with due care and skill, be fit for purpose and be completed within a reasonable time.

What should a quote list?

The layers of work, whether the fence, kerb, drainage and lights are in or out, which data sheet the system works to, where the wash water and paint waste will go, the start and finish dates and what the provider will do if a fault appears. This site states none of those for any provider.

Do two quotes for resurfacing cover the same job?

Not necessarily. One council's resurfacing included base repair and a new asphalt layer as well as acrylic layers and line marking, and another council's upgrade also removed fencing, kerbing and stormwater infrastructure. Ask each quote what it includes.
