At 3G Pitch Repair, we provide specialised restoration services for artificial and grass pitches, including third-generation synthetic turf systems used in football, rugby, and other high-impact sports.

Our expert repairs address surface damage, seam failures, drainage issues, and infill inconsistencies, ensuring your playing surface remains safe, playable, and professionally maintained for players of all levels.

Whether you manage schools, sports facilities, or community grounds across the UK, we help extend the longevity of your 3G pitches and keep your games running smoothly.

What Are The Benefits Of Regular 3G Pitch Repair?

Timely 3G pitch maintenance and repair restore surface integrity and reduce the risk of injuries caused by uneven footing or loose seams.

By addressing wear and tear early, such as patching high-use zones or re-bonding lifting seams, you avoid costly full replacements and preserve durability and performance.

Proactive repairs also improve drainage efficiency, protect your investment, and ensure consistent ball roll and player grip across the entire surface.

What Does The 3G Pitch Repair Process Involve?

3G pitch repair is a detailed, targeted process tailored to the specific characteristics and extent of damage and typically includes:

• Site inspection – Identifies seam separation, worn areas, drainage problems, contamination, or compacted infill zones.
• Seam re-bonding – Uses specialist adhesives and reinforced tape to fix lifting or gaping joins.
• Surface patching – Removes damaged carpet turf sections and replaces them with matching synthetic fibers.
• Infill correction – Adds new rubber or sand infill material and decompacts affected areas for improved cushioning.
• Post-repair testing – Checks for leveling, drainage performance, and safe play conditions before handing the pitch back over.

How Much Does 3G Pitch Repair Cost?

The costs of 3G pitch repair range from £300 to over £5,000, depending on the type of works, its severity, and the size of the repair area.

Simple seam fixes can start around £300–£800, while more extensive work such as turf patching or drainage correction may cost £1,000 to £3,000.

Projects involving deeper infill work or base layer correction can exceed £5,000.

What Is the Duration of 3G Pitch Repair?

3G pitch repair timelines vary depending on the scale of the project and type of 3G surfaces.

Minor repairs, including seam sealing and infill levels top-ups, take up to 1 working day.

Medium repairs, such as turf patching or multi-spot restoration, span 1 to 2 working days.

Extensive repair, involving resurfacing or sub-base stabilisation, takes 3 to 5 working days.

This ensures quality, consistent playing surface performance, and extended lifespan.

How Can You Tell If A 3G Pitch Needs Repairs?

3G pitch maintenance is needed when structural failures develop in synthetic sports pitches.

Common warning signs include seams lifting or tears forming along joints, turf edges curling due to adhesive breakdown, and moss or algae growth affecting surface drainage.

Compacted or sunken zones can reduce impact absorption, while contaminants and material buildup disrupt traction and ball behavior.
Water pooling or drainage blockage may indicate deeper structural problems below the surface.

How Often Should A 3G Pitch Be Inspected For Repairs?

We recommend inspecting 3G pitches every 3 months and after each playing season.

Heavily used sports facilities, especially those with fifa-approved installation, benefit from monthly walk-throughs to detect early wear.

Routine inspections, paired with rejuvenation and preventative care, ensure safety and long-term longevity.

What Equipment Is Used In 3G Pitch Repair?

• Seam adhesives and reinforced tape for fencing joints and re-bonding.
• Turf cutters and hand trowels to remove and replace worn grass sections.
• Rubber and sand infill material for balance and shock absorption.
• Rotary brushes and decompaction rakes for compacted areas.
• Drainage testers to ensure sub-layer water flow and even leveling.

This equipment maintains the structural durability and safety of your artificial playing area.

How Does 3G Pitch Repair Differ From General Maintenance?

3G pitch repair focuses on fixing core defects, while 3G pitch maintenance manages day-to-day cleaning and prevention.

Repairs cover seam re-bonding, turf replacement, drainage correction, and rejuvenation of worn areas, whereas maintenance handles brushing and debris removal.
Both are vital parts of responsible facility upkeep to ensure reliable playing surface quality and long-term investment value.
