Professional trampoline mat replacement - old mat removed, new mat fitted, all springs properly tensioned. Your trampoline bouncing safely again.
Bounce Back
Trampoline mats wear out - UV damage, stretched fabric, small tears that grow. A worn mat means poor bounce and potential safety issues.
💡 Pro tip: While the mat's off, check the frame for rust and the padding for wear. It's easier to address everything at once.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Spring puller tool (essential)
- Work gloves
- Patience
- Helper (holds mat)
📐 Proper fitting
- Remove old mat spring by spring
- Lay new mat centred on frame
- Attach springs opposite each other
- Work around evenly (not sequentially)
- Check tension is balanced
- Test bounce for evenness
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Fitting springs in sequence (creates uneven tension)
- Wrong mat size for trampoline
- Skipping damaged springs
- Not checking frame condition
💡 Pro trick: Work in a cross pattern - attach at 12 o'clock, then 6, then 3, then 9, and continue filling in. This keeps tension even.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my mat needs replacing?
Look for holes, tears, stretched or sagging areas, or UV damage (mat looks faded and feels brittle). If the bounce isn't what it was, the mat's probably worn out.
Do you supply the replacement mat?
You'll need to buy the correct replacement mat for your trampoline model. We fit it. Make sure you get the right size and spring count.
Do the springs need replacing too?
We'll check them during fitting. Rusty or stretched springs should be replaced - they affect bounce and can snap. Often done at the same time.
How long does this take?
1-2 hours typically. Removing the old mat, fitting the new one, and tensioning all springs correctly takes time. Larger trampolines take longer.
