When Tyres Can Be Repaired
Not all punctures are the same. Some can be safely repaired—others can't. The location, size, and extent of the damage all matter. Small punctures in the tread area are usually repairable, but damage near or in the sidewall is not. We use industry-standard patch and plug methods that seal the tyre from the inside out, helping restore performance and extending the life of your tyre.
Every repair includes a full inspection to make sure no structural damage is hidden beneath the surface. If a repair is safe and viable, we’ll get it done promptly. If it’s not, we’ll give you honest options that suit your budget. Whatever your tyre situation, our goal is to get you moving again—safely and affordably. Drop in anytime or give us a ring to see how we can help.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
Can a punctured tyre be repaired?
Yes, many punctured tyres can be repaired—provided the damage is within safe limits. Punctures located in the tread area (the central part of the tyre that contacts the road) and no larger than 6mm in diameter are generally repairable. However, if the damage is near or on the sidewall, or if the tyre has been driven on while flat (which can cause internal damage), repairs are usually not recommended. Tyres with multiple punctures close together or previous repairs in the same area may also be deemed unsafe to fix. It's always best to have a professional inspect the tyre before deciding.
How long does a tyre puncture repair take?
A standard puncture repair typically takes between 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the tyre’s condition and the repair method used. The process includes removing the tyre from the rim, inspecting it internally for hidden damage, patching or plugging the puncture, and remounting and balancing the tyre. While it may seem like a quick job, taking the time to do it properly ensures safety and helps extend the tyre’s lifespan. Quick, on-the-wheel fixes are not recommended, as they may not seal the damage completely or last long-term.
Is it safe to drive on a repaired tyre?
If repaired correctly and the damage was within the safe repairable zone, a puncture-repaired tyre can be just as safe and reliable as an undamaged tyre. Industry-standard patch-plug repair techniques restore structural integrity and create an airtight seal. However, safety also depends on the condition of the rest of the tyre—low tread, uneven wear, or old age can all compromise performance even after a successful repair. It’s important to monitor the tyre's pressure and overall condition regularly after a repair.
