Trampoline and Swing Repair Costs

Scope of Works

• Inspect play equipment to pinpoint faulty parts: torn jump mats, stretched springs, frayed swing chains, cracked seats or loose anchor points.

• Dismantle affected sections safely; support frames, remove padding or nets as needed.

• Supply and fit replacements – jump mats, safety pads, enclosure nets, springs, swing seats, shackles or new timber/metal brackets.

• Tension‑test and level the trampoline bed; set swing seat heights to BS EN 1176 clearance rules.

• Lubricate & re‑torque all fixings, add anti‑rust spray, replace missing safety caps.

• Dispose of damaged parts through licensed metal/plastics recycling where agreed.

• Issue post‑repair report with photos and maintenance tips.
  

Typical Cost (inc. VAT)

Figures reflect mainland‑UK averages in mid‑2025.

Time on Site

• Typical duration: 1 – 3 hours for a mat or seat change; up to ½ day for structural frame repairs.

• Likely to run longer if:

  • equipment must be fully dismantled to reach buried anchors;

  • excessive corrosion needs cutting/grinding;

  • bad weather delays outdoor work;

  • parts run requires travel to a merchant.
    

Questions to Ask Your Trade

1. Is your quote fixed‑price or hourly, and does it include the call‑out?

2. Will you fit OEM‑compatible parts rated to BS EN 1176 (playground standard)?

3. How do you dispose of old nets, mats and metal – is that costed in?

4. What guarantee do you give on new springs, chains and fabric?

5. Can you show evidence of public‑liability insurance for work on children’s equipment?

6. Will you provide a brief safety inspection report after the repair?

7. What clearance, ground‑fixing or weather conditions do you need on the day?
   

How to Avoid Surprises

• Photograph damage and note trampoline diameter or swing‑frame model before requesting quotes.

• Clear 2 m of space around the equipment and mow/level the ground to ease access.

• Reserve parking close to the garden gate for a van carrying long parts.

• Check for overhead cables or branches that might obstruct net removal or frame lifting.

• Advise if the job is in a school or public setting (safeguarding & DBS rules).

• Confirm whether weekend/holiday rates or congestion/ULEZ fees apply.
