What is Wetpour Repair?

Wetpour repair refers to restoring and maintaining wetpour surfacing used in playgrounds, sports areas, and other recreational facilities. 

This type of repair focuses on EPDM rubber and polyurethane materials, ensuring a durable safety surface that both children and facility owners can rely on.

Our expertise in wetpour repair helps address issues like perimeter shrinkage, cracks, and other damages that may compromise safety or aesthetics. 

Understanding the importance of a well-maintained surface is of high importance to prolong the usage and safety of your wetpour surface. 

Importance of Wetpour Repair

The importance of wetpour repair cannot be overstated when it comes to maintaining the safety and functionality of outdoor playgrounds and recreational areas. 

An effective maintenance schedule not only prolongs the life of the surfacing but also ensures that children can play safely without the risk of injury from damaged surfaces.

Regular inspections and maintenance routines significantly enhance playground safety by identifying issues early and implementing timely repairs. 

Routine cleaning removes debris and prevents the growth of mould, which can lead to slippery areas, further enhancing overall safety.

Investing in cost-effective repairs not only addresses existing problems like vandalism repairs but also contributes to long-term sustainability and reduced replacement costs.

  • Regular maintenance reduces injury risks.

  • Periodic inspections allow for early issue detection.

  • Routine cleaning maintains surface integrity.

By prioritising routine wetpour repair, communities foster safer, more enjoyable playgrounds for children, ensuring that recreational areas remain functional for many years.

Types of Wetpour Repair

There are several types of wetpour repair methods available to ensure that playground surfaces remain safe, durable, and visually appealing. 

Patch repairs are commonly used to address localised damage, while band repairs provide a more extensive solution for larger wear-and-tear areas.

Additionally, we offer DIY repair kits for facility owners who wish to tackle minor repairs independently.

Patch Repair

Patch repair is a targeted approach to wetpour repair that addresses specific areas of damage, such as cracks or loose rubber crumb, ensuring a durable surface. 

This method not only restores the aesthetic appeal of the surface but also enhances the safety and durability of the playground.

When considering patch repair, it is essential to follow a systematic process to ensure effectiveness. 

The initial step involves evaluating the area for damage, allowing one to identify not just visible problems but also underlying issues that may not be immediately apparent.

  • Materials used typically include specialised rubber granules, adhesives, and a levelling compound designed to match the existing surface.

  • Once the appropriate materials are gathered, the damaged area is carefully cleaned to remove debris and contaminants.

  • Next, the rubber crumb is mixed with the adhesive and applied to the affected zone, ensuring a seamless bond.

  • The new patch is levelled and smoothed to blend perfectly with the surrounding area.

Addressing specific damages promptly through effective patch repairs not only reduces the likelihood of further deterioration but also significantly enhances playground safety by minimising hazards that could lead to accidents.

Band Repair

A Band repair is an effective wetpour repair method designed to cover larger surface areas that experience wear and tear, such as those affected by perimeter shrinkage, enhancing the safety surface. 

This approach not only improves the durability of the safety surface but also ensures a uniform appearance across the playground, enhancing the overall user experience and promoting safer play environments for children. 

Timely intervention using this method helps in maintaining the aesthetic appeal and functionality of recreational areas, preventing further degradation and costly future repairs.

In various scenarios, such as playgrounds or sports facilities, band repairs become essential when visible surface damage occurs. 

Areas suffering from perimeter shrinkage often result in uneven surfaces that may pose safety risks. Implementing band repairs can:

By utilising this method, facilities can ensure compliance with safety standards while prolonging the lifespan of their surfaces. 

Furthermore, this repair process can contribute significantly to reducing maintenance costs over time, making it a wise investment for facility managers.

Wetpour Re-Cap 

 Our re-cap process effectively revitalises the surface, extending its lifespan while enhancing safety and aesthetics.

The re-cap involves applying a fresh layer of wetpour over the existing surface, addressing cracks, fading, or minor damage. 

This cost-effective solution allows for minimal downtime and disruption, making it a popular choice for playgrounds, parks, and recreational areas that require immediate attention.

By choosing Wetpour Experts for your re-cap needs, you're ensuring that your surfaces remain in optimal condition, providing a safe and attractive environment for users. With our high-quality materials and skilled team, we guarantee results that last.

Wetpour Replacement 

Wetpour surfaces are designed for durability, but over time, they may need replacement to maintain optimal performance and meet safety standards.

Wetpour removal & replacement is the most long-lasting solution if a surface is in need of repairs. 

Our process ensures minimal disruption while providing a fresh, resilient surface that enhances the area. 

We carefully remove the old wetpour, evaluate the base for any repairs, and install new materials using our top-grade rubber surfacing. 

This attention to detail guarantees a smooth, slip-resistant, and shock-absorbent finish, ensuring the area remains safe for all users.

With our expertise, your wetpour surface will look new again, providing a long-lasting solution that continues to meet safety requirements and deliver aesthetic appeal.
