Photos are enough for the first reply. For larger cuts, loose seams, and more complicated repairs, the RIB still needs to be inspected in person.

How we read common problems
The first conversation comes down to a few clear signals: where the issue appears, what the photo shows, and when the vessel needs to be ready.
01
Tube cut or pressure loss
Problem Leak near the seam with pressure loss after every use.
Work Patch the cut, reinforce the seam, and check the valve.
After the work The tube holds pressure after repair.
02
RIB after a full season
Problem Salt, dirt, use marks, and surfaces that are hard to clean with standard washing.
Work Deep wash of tubes, plastics, edges, and hard-to-reach parts.
After the work The RIB is cleaner and any additional damage is easier to see.
03
Damaged nautical textile on a RIB
Problem Torn sections and weakened seams after season use.
Work Repair seams and reinforce worn sections.
After the work The textile is stabilized and tidier for continued use.
