The repairs we carry out
The usual tyre repair in our workshop is a combination patch-plug for a penetrating object in the tread. We also replace leaking snap-in valves, reseat beads that are not sealing on a corroded rim, and sort slow leaks that only show up overnight.
We do not repair tyres with a separated tread, exposed cord, or a bulge. Those are replacement jobs, and we will show you the damage rather than argue from a price list.
Repair versus a new tyre
A repair is the right spend when the tyre still has useful tread and the damage is legal to repair. A new tyre is the right spend when you would be paying to patch something that will fail an MOT or leave you stranded on the M25. Drivers searching “tyre repair near me” often have a slow leak that has been topped up for weeks — that tyre should come off the wheel so the inside can be checked.
See puncture repair for nail and screw damage, or tyre replacement if the tread is gone.
After the repair
We inflate to the pressure on the driver’s door placard, not a generic 32 psi. If the car has been pulling to one side, the repair was not the whole story — book Hunter wheel alignment at Horton Road. Call +44 7771 363978.
Questions drivers ask us
Do you repair tyres at the workshop and on the road?
Yes. Workshop repairs are done at Horton Rd, Stanwell Moor. Mobile repairs cover Staines and the surrounding area.
Can you repair a cut in the sidewall?
No. Sidewall cuts are not repairable. The tyre should be replaced.
Will a repaired tyre pass an MOT?
A correct repair in the tread is acceptable. A plugged sidewall, exposed cord, or tread under 1.6 mm is not.
