Professional trampoline spring replacement - removing old, broken, or stretched springs and fitting new ones. Even tension across the mat means safe, even bouncing again.
Springs Don't Last Forever
Trampoline springs rust, stretch, and break over time. One broken spring puts extra stress on the others. Even tension across all springs is essential for safe bouncing.
💡 Pro tip: Count your springs before ordering replacements - trampolines have different numbers, and you need the correct length for even tension.

🔧 DIY Tips
Replacing yourself? Here's what works:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Spring puller tool (essential!)
- Gloves
- Replacement springs (correct size)
- Patience
📐 Proper replacement
- Count total springs needed
- Measure spring length (including hooks)
- Remove old springs with puller
- Fit new springs in a star pattern (opposite sides)
- Check even tension all round
- Test bounce feels even
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Wrong size springs
- Not fitting in star pattern (causes uneven tension)
- Trying without spring puller tool
- Mixed old and new springs
💡 Pro trick: Fit springs in a star pattern - not going round in a circle. This distributes tension evenly as you go.
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 springs need replacing?
Broken springs are obvious. Stretched or rusty ones less so - if the bounce feels uneven, the mat sits low in one area, or springs are visibly rusty, it's time.
Do you supply the springs?
You'll need to source matching springs - they need to be the right length and strength for your trampoline model. We fit them once you have them.
Can you replace just some springs?
Yes - if only a few are broken or rusty, we replace those. Though if many are worn, replacing all at once makes economic sense.
Is the trampoline safe while we wait?
Missing or broken springs make the bounce uneven and put stress on remaining springs. Don't use it until fixed - won't be long.
