Since 2024GritPlex Sport Facilities
What we do.
Surfaces built for performance. Every project is handled by specialists who work on sports facilities every day.
Hardcourts built to perform.
GritPlex specialises in the construction and resurfacing of sports hardcourts. Tennis, netball, basketball and multi use courts are built with the correct base, the correct surface system and the correct finish, so the court plays true for years.
Built for the game.
Artificial sports turf gives you a consistent surface with a long playing life and low upkeep. We prepare the base properly, install the system correctly and finish the detail, so the surface performs season after season.
Control the play.
Professional netting keeps play inside the facility and protects everything around it. We install netting systems that hold their tension, resist the weather and look right on a serious sports facility.
300+ resurfacing jobs.
Years of experience transforming worn, faded and tired sports surfaces into professional playing environments.

One specialist.One standard.
Johann van Niekerk learned this trade on real sites, with real deadlines and real standards. Every court he has built or resurfaced carries that discipline.
That is how GritPlex works today. One specialist holding the same line on quality from the first site visit to handover. The experience is not borrowed. It was earned court by court.
You deal directly with the person who does the work. That is the difference between a contractor and a specialist.

Answers before you ask.
Straight answers on cost, timing and what we can do for your facility.
Cost depends on the size of the court, the condition of the existing surface, the level of repair required and the surface system chosen. We assess the court on site and give you a written quotation with the scope clearly set out. Send us the court dimensions and a few photos and we will guide you.
