A puncture repair is usually the cheapest fix for a flat tyre, a fraction of the price of a new one. Whether it is possible depends on where the damage is.
Short answer: A puncture repair costs much less than a new tyre, because only the hole is sealed and the tyre is kept. It is possible when the damage is in the central part of the tread and the tyre was not driven on flat. If it cannot be repaired, a new or part-worn tyre is fitted instead.

Why a repair is the cheaper option
A new mid-range car tyre in Ireland is typically around €85–€135 fitted for common sizes (source: odo.ie tyre price guide (April 2026)). A repair keeps your existing tyre, so you only pay for the repair itself.
When can a puncture be repaired?
- The hole is in the central three quarters of the tread.
- The damage is small, like a nail or screw, up to about 6mm.
- The tyre has not been driven on while flat.
- There is no sidewall damage, bulge or cut.

When it cannot be repaired
Sidewall damage, a large cut or a tyre that was driven on flat must be replaced. We carry new tyres and part-worn tyres on the van, so you are not left stranded.
What a proper repair includes
- The tyre is taken off the wheel and checked inside.
- The hole is sealed with a plug and patch from the inside.
- The wheel is refitted, balanced and set to the right pressure.
