Mobile puncture repair is a callout service where a qualified technician travels to your vehicle, assesses the tyre against BS AU 159, and completes a permanent plug-patch repair on-site at your home, workplace or roadside. Drivers across our coverage regions book this service to keep a repairable tyre and skip the garage queue.
Or use the booking form for a written quote.
Driving on a punctured or deflating tyre grinds the sidewall, destroys the inner liner, and converts a £39 repair into a full tyre replacement. A flat tyre dragged even a short distance overheats the rubber and damages the structure beyond repair. UK Construction and Use Regulations classify a tyre below the 1.6mm legal tread limit as unroadworthy, and a deflated or damaged tyre carries the same exposure to fines and penalty points.
A slow puncture left for weeks does the same damage in slow motion, weakening the casing every mile. Mobile repair is the intervention that arrives before the damage spreads, at your door, your workplace or the roadside. Drivers in 2026 expect a repair-first service rather than an automatic replacement, and a tyre that meets BS AU 159 deserves a repair, not a sale.
BS AU 159
British Standard BS AU 159 defines exactly when a tyre repair is safe and legal, and every callout starts with this assessment.
Where the tyre fails assessment, the repair fee is waived against a replacement fitted on the same visit through our mobile tyre fitting service. Not sure whether the tyre needs anything yet? Book a free tyre health check first and we will tell you honestly.

Step by step
Book your repair with your postcode and vehicle registration through the form, or call or WhatsApp 0788 328 8831 for emergency dispatch. The postcode verifies coverage and response time. The registration confirms the tyre size and specification.
A technician arrives at your location in a fully equipped van. The 2026 fleet carries plug-patch repair systems, bead breakers, balancing equipment for wheels up to 20 inches, TPMS tools and digital torque wrenches. Everything needed for a permanent repair travels to you.
The technician removes the tyre from the wheel and inspects the inner liner directly. The puncture is measured against the BS AU 159 criteria for position, size and condition. External-only plug repairs skip this internal inspection and never qualify as permanent.
The puncture channel is filled and the inner liner is patched in one vulcanised plug-patch unit. The tyre is refitted, rebalanced, set to the correct pressure and torqued to manufacturer specification.
The technician signs off the work and activates the 12-month workmanship guarantee. Where the tyre fails assessment, a replacement is quoted and fitted on the same visit, and the repair fee is waived.
The £39 repair fee applies at any standard hour. No standard-hours call-out fee. Any out-of-hours charge is included in your confirmed quote before dispatch, with nothing added after the repair.
Common causes
A TPMS warning light, or a tyre that needs air every week, signals a slow puncture until proven otherwise. The technician traces the leak with a water test and a close inspection, then repairs under BS AU 159 or identifies the true cause.
The most common puncture our technicians repair, sealed under BS AU 159 where the tread position and hole size allow.
A leaking valve is traced and replaced on-site as part of the repair where the valve is the fault.
A corroded rim seat is cleaned and resealed so the bead holds pressure again.
An earlier string plug or off-centre patch is inspected and replaced with a permanent plug-patch repair.
A stone, bolt or screw lodged short of the inner liner works deeper with every mile. The technician assesses the depth off the wheel and removes the object before a slow leak turns into a blowout.
Heavier EV kerb weights and foam-lined acoustic tyres change the repair assessment and the rebalancing. Every van carries the tools for Tesla and mainstream EV models, so a repairable EV puncture is sealed and rebalanced on the same visit.
Emergency sealant kits and aerosol foams are temporary get-home measures, not repairs. A sealant fills the tyre with liquid latex that plugs the leak for a short distance at low speed. Certain sealants coat the inner liner and prevent the vulcanised bond a permanent patch needs, turning a repairable tyre into a replacement.
Use a sealant only when stranded with no alternative, then book a professional assessment immediately and tell the technician sealant was used.
String-plug external repairs are the other false economy. A string plug skips the internal inspection and fails BS AU 159 outright. A permanent plug-patch repair seals the puncture channel and the inner liner together, and lasts the legal life of the tyre.
Each vehicle class is torqued and inflated to its own specification, applied correctly on every callout.
Car and light commercial tyres only, on wheels up to 20 inches. Motorcycles and bicycles are outside the service. Fleet operators get account terms with monthly invoicing across multiple vehicles.
Run-flat tyres are assessed on every callout, then replaced rather than repaired under manufacturer structural guidance, with a TPMS reset and a matching run-flat fitted on the same visit.

£39 per puncture repairFee waived against a replacement if the tyre fails assessment
Where the tyre fails assessment, the repair fee is waived against the replacement. A mobile repair removes the recovery-truck cost, the garage queue and the risk miles of driving on a damaged tyre, which is where the real cost of a puncture sits.

A commuter in a Chelmsford office car park found a screw in the rear tyre and a TPMS warning at 12:30. A call at 12:35 dispatched a technician, on-site by 13:20. An internal inspection confirmed the puncture sat in the central tread, measured 4mm, and met BS AU 159. A plug-patch repair, a rebalance and a pressure reset finished the job by 13:55. The driver kept the tyre, skipped the replacement cost and made the school run.

FAQs
Mobile puncture repair costs £39 per puncture. The price includes travel, the BS AU 159 assessment, internal inspection, the plug-patch repair, a valve check, a rebalance and a pressure reset. No standard-hours call-out fee. Any out-of-hours charge is included in your confirmed quote before dispatch. Where the tyre fails assessment, the repair fee is waived against a replacement fitted on the same visit, so a failed assessment never costs you a wasted callout.
No. BS AU 159 sets the limits. A puncture in the central 75% of the tread, 6mm or smaller, on a tyre above the 1.6mm tread limit, can be repaired. Sidewall, shoulder and bead damage cannot be repaired, because the damage is structural. A run-flat is replaced rather than repaired.
The emergency response target is 60 minutes across UK mainland, with actual arrival dependent on your postcode and technician availability. Standard repair slots run 8am to 8pm, and overnight emergency callouts run 24 hours a day. Phone or WhatsApp 0788 328 8831 for the fastest dispatch.
Yes. Cover runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including bank holidays. Standard slots run 8am to 8pm, and emergency callouts run overnight. No standard-hours call-out fee. Any out-of-hours charge is included in your confirmed quote before dispatch, with nothing added afterwards.
Yes. A plug-patch repair to BS AU 159 seals the puncture channel and the inner liner in one vulcanised unit, and lasts the legal life of the tyre. A 12-month workmanship guarantee backs every permanent repair. String plugs and sealants are temporary get-home measures, not permanent repairs.
No. A slow puncture lets inner liner and sidewall damage build up mile by mile. The damage converts a repairable tyre into a replacement, and a tyre below 1.6mm or run flat breaches UK Construction and Use Regulations. Book a BS AU 159 assessment as soon as the warning light shows.
No. Run-flat tyres are not repaired, in line with manufacturer structural guidance and the risk of hidden damage from running flat. A matching replacement run-flat is fitted on-site, with a TPMS reset, on the same visit. One callout resolves the fault.
Sealant-treated tyres are assessed case by case. The technician cleans the sealant residue where possible, but certain products coat the inner liner and block the vulcanised bond a patch needs, which forces a replacement. Declare the sealant at booking so the 2026 technician arrives prepared.
A garage quotes a lower headline price, but the comparison ignores the recovery-truck cost, the queue and the risk miles of driving on a damaged tyre. A mobile repair brings the technician to your driveway or roadside, with no towing and no wait. The £39 repair price covers the travel and the full BS AU 159 repair.
The repair fee is waived against a replacement tyre fitted on the same visit. One callout covers both the assessment and the replacement, with no second fee. A matching tyre is fitted, balanced and set to pressure on-site. See our mobile tyre fitting service for replacement on the same callout.
Book through the form with your postcode and registration, or call or WhatsApp 0788 328 8831 for an emergency callout. 24/7 cover, a 60-minute emergency response target, permanent BS AU 159 repairs from £39. Available now across UK mainland postcodes from Tyre Fitting Near Me Ltd.
