Puncture Repair Norwich

A puncture does not wait for a weekday. We are open seven days a week on Ber Street, and most repairs are done while you wait.

Puncture Repair in Norwich, Seven Days a Week

If you have picked up a nail, screw or a slow puncture, bring the car to us at 100-106 Ber Street and we will get you moving again. We are open Monday to Saturday 8:00am to 6:00pm and Sunday 10:00am to 4:00pm, and most punctures are dealt with while you wait. There is free parking on site and a comfortable waiting area.

Punctures are one of the most common reasons drivers call us. One of our Google reviewers came in on a Sunday with a puncture on a motorhome and was back on the road within 15 minutes. Sunday is often our quietest and quickest day for tyre work, which matters when most garages nearby are shut.

This is a workshop service. We do not offer mobile or roadside call-out, so if the tyre is fully deflated you will need to fit your spare, use your repair kit, or arrange recovery to us.

What We Do When You Arrive

  • Remove the wheel and inspect the tyre inside and out, not just the visible object
  • Identify where the damage sits and whether a repair is permitted
  • Repair from inside the tyre with a combined plug-and-patch where the damage allows
  • Rebalance the wheel and refit it to the correct torque setting
  • Reset the pressure and check your other three tyres while the car is with us

When a Puncture Can Be Repaired, and When It Cannot

Not every puncture is repairable, and we will tell you honestly which one you have. UK tyre repairs follow British Standard BS AU 159, which sets out where damage may be repaired. In practice that means:

  • Usually repairable - a clean puncture in the central three-quarters of the tread, within the permitted size limit
  • Not repairable - any damage to the sidewall or shoulder, where the tyre flexes hardest
  • Not repairable - a tyre that has been driven on while deflated, because the internal structure is damaged even if the outside looks fine
  • Not repairable - existing repairs too close to the new damage, exposed cords, or tread already at or near the 1.6mm legal limit

If a tyre cannot be safely repaired we will say so and show you why, rather than patching something that will fail later. We stock budget through to premium brands and can usually fit a replacement the same day. Where a replacement is the only safe option, we will also check whether the tyre on the opposite side needs matching.

Slow Punctures

A tyre that needs topping up every couple of weeks usually has a small object embedded in the tread, a corroded or faulty valve, or a poor seal between the tyre and the rim. All three are straightforward to find once the wheel is off and the tyre is submerged, and all three are worth fixing early - running persistently under-inflated ruins the tyre edges and costs you fuel.

After a Pothole or Kerb Strike

Norfolk's rural B-roads produce a lot of impact damage. A sharp pothole strike can crack a tyre internally with nothing visible outside, buckle the rim, or knock the alignment out. If you have hit something hard, it is worth having the tyre, wheel and tracking checked together rather than just topping the pressure up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you repair my puncture the same day?

In most cases yes. We are a walk-in workshop on Ber Street and most punctures are repaired while you wait. Calling 07933 900901 first means we can tell you how busy we are and have a replacement ready in your size if the tyre turns out not to be repairable.

Are you open on Sundays for punctures?

Yes. We are open Sunday 10:00am to 4:00pm, as well as Monday to Saturday 8:00am to 6:00pm. Sunday is often our quickest day for tyre work, and it is when most other garages nearby are closed.

Do you come out to me if I have a flat?

No - we are a workshop-based garage and do not offer mobile or roadside tyre fitting. You are welcome to bring the car to 100-106 Ber Street, NR1 3ES, where there is free parking on site.

Why can't a sidewall puncture be repaired?

The sidewall flexes constantly as the tyre rotates and carries the vehicle's load. A repair there cannot be relied on to hold, so British Standard BS AU 159 does not permit it. Damage in that area means the tyre must be replaced.

Is a repair as safe as a new tyre?

A correctly carried out repair within the permitted area is a recognised, safe fix and is done from inside the tyre rather than as an external plug. If the damage falls outside what the standard allows, we will not repair it - we will explain why and quote you for a replacement instead.

My tyre keeps losing pressure slowly - what is it?

Most often a small nail or screw still sitting in the tread, a faulty valve stem, or a poor seal at the rim. We will find the cause with the wheel off and repair it where it is safe to do so. Ignoring a slow puncture wears the tyre unevenly and increases fuel consumption.
