Can My Puncture Be Repaired?
Understanding Repairable vs. Non-Repairable Damage
Not all tyre damage can be safely repaired. At Stanway Tyre, we strictly follow British Standard BS AU 159 to ensure your safety on Colchester’s roads.
Repairable
A repair is possible if all of these conditions are met:
- The puncture is in the central tread area.
- Damage is no larger than 6mm in diameter.
- The tyre was not driven on while flat.
- Remaining tread depth is above 1.6mm.
- No signs of previous poor repairs or sidewall damage.
Non-Repairable
The tyre cannot be repaired if any of these are true:
- Damage is on the sidewall or shoulder area.
- The puncture is larger than 6mm.
- There is evidence of internal damage.
- Exposed cords, bulges, or deep cuts are visible.
What About Run-Flat Tyre Repairs?
Most tyre manufacturers advise AGAINST repairing run-flat tyres. It’s very difficult to determine if the internal structure has been compromised after it has been driven on with low pressure. For your safety, Stanway Tyre recommends replacing a punctured run-flat tyre. We can supply and fit new run-flat tyres at the branch or via our mobile service.
Our BS AU 159 Compliant Puncture Repair Process
Safety & Quality Assured
Thorough Internal & External Examination
We remove the tyre and meticulously inspect it inside and out to locate the puncture and check for secondary damage.
Professional Plug-Patch Application
A high-quality combination plug and patch is inserted from the inside, providing a robust, airtight, and permanent repair.
Wheel Balancing
The repaired tyre and wheel assembly is professionally balanced to ensure a smooth ride and prevent vibrations.
Final Check & Refitting
The wheel is refitted to your vehicle, and wheel nuts are torqued to the correct manufacturer's specification.
Colchester Puncture Repair FAQs
Your Questions Answered
How much does a puncture repair cost?
Our BS AU 159 compliant puncture repairs start from just £20 plus VAT. We always provide transparent pricing before any work begins.
Is it safe to drive on a repaired tyre?
Yes. When a puncture is repaired correctly to British Standard BS AU 159 by a qualified technician, the tyre is safe to use for its remaining lifespan and can operate at its original speed and load capabilities.
Can you repair run-flat tyres?
Generally, no. Most manufacturers and safety standards advise against repairing run-flat tyres due to the difficulty in assessing internal damage. We recommend replacement for safety.
What should I do if I get a puncture?
Pull over to a safe location as soon as possible and turn on your hazard lights. Avoid driving on the flat tyre to prevent further damage. Call Stanway Tyre’s emergency mobile service on 0800 208 8033 for immediate assistance.
