Fixing your ship is one of the first real Sailing skills you learn, and this quick guide shows exactly how repair kits work and how to use them without confusion.
How to Repair Your Boat
Use a repair kit from your inventory and click anywhere on your ship. Each kit restores 5 health. You can spam repair kits back to back, and multiple players can repair at the same time to refill your hull much faster.
What Repair Kits Do in OSRS
Repair kits are simple tools that heal small chunks of boat damage. You keep them in your inventory, and when storms, rocks, or sea monsters chip away at your hull, you use a kit to patch the damage instantly. They work on every boat tier from rafts to sloops.
Repairing does not require special stations. You just apply the kit and slap it onto the deck or hull of your ship. If several players repair at once the ship's health rises quickly. This is great during sea monster fights when every point of health matters.
You can buy repair kits from shops like Seb's Shipyard Supplies, or make your own through Construction. Crafting them gives a bit of Construction experience and creates two kits at a time. They are cheap enough to keep a stack ready before long trips.
How to Craft a Basic Repair Kit
You can craft repair kits directly in your inventory with low Construction level.

Smart Repair Tips

Final Blurb
Repairing your ship in OSRS Sailing is fast and easy with basic repair kits. Keep a few in your bag and patch up damage as soon as you see it, and your boat will stay afloat through storms, rocks, and monsters.
