RETUBING / NEW TUBES

When repair is no longer enough.

A new tube set is a considered decision. We assess the hull, existing tubes and intended use before specifying the work.

REPAIR OR REPLACE?

The right answer for the boat.

A localised puncture or fitting problem may be repairable. If fabric, seams or multiple sections have deteriorated, replacement can be the better route. Inspection matters before a firm decision.

MATERIAL CHOICE

Hypalon/CSM
or PVC.

Neither should be chosen from a photograph alone. The existing construction, use and customer requirements all matter.

01 / HYPALON · CSM

Robust, repairable fabric

A common choice for demanding RIB tube work. The exact fabric, colour and fittings are agreed for the individual project.

02 / PVC MARINE FABRIC

A practical alternative

Appropriate for many inflatable boats and RIBs when construction and use suit PVC. We assess the boat before recommending a specification.
