Repairable or replacement?
UK law only permits a tyre repair inside the minor repair area of the tread. Here's the quick guide our fitters work to when they arrive.
Usually repairable
- Nail or screw in the central tread area
- Puncture under 6mm on a car tyre
- Slow puncture with tread still legal (1.6mm+)
- Valve failure or a leaking wheel rim seal
Needs replacing
- Sidewall cuts, bulges or kerb damage
- Blowouts and shredded tyres
- Run-flats driven beyond their safe distance
- Tyres already carrying multiple repairs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can any flat tyre be repaired?
No. UK regulations (BS AU 159) allow repairs only within the central three-quarters of the tread and below a set puncture size. Sidewall damage, run-flats driven while deflated and previously badly repaired tyres must be replaced.
How much does mobile puncture repair cost?
A mobile puncture repair is typically a fraction of the cost of a new tyre, and you see the exact figure in the app before booking. Emergency and out-of-hours call-outs are priced up front too.
How long does a mobile tyre repair take?
Most roadside puncture repairs are completed in 20–30 minutes once the fitter arrives, including removing the wheel, plugging and patching, and re-inflating to the correct pressure.
Do you repair punctures at my home or workplace?
Yes — home driveway, workplace car park or roadside. You don't need to drive anywhere on a damaged tyre.
What if the tyre can't be repaired?
The fitter will tell you on site and can supply and fit a replacement there and then, with the new price confirmed in the app first.
