Puncture Repair

How do we repair car tyre punctures?

At our garage for puncture repair Derby, we follow British standards for tyre repair. The following steps are involved:

• Step 1: Removing the flat tyre from the rim and locating the damage.
• Step 2: Eliminating any foreign particle from the tyre and cleaning the affected area with a pre-buff cleaner.
• Step 3: Placing a patch over the puncture area and marking the ends.
• Step 4: Buffing the tyre’s inner lining using domed buffing rasp.
• Step 5: Applying the accelerator mixture on the inner lining and puncture channel.
• Step 6: Plugging the repair patch inside the channel and pulling it outwards, sealing the leak in the process.
• Step 7: Sealing the channel using a sealant and covering the visible patch.
• Step 8: Cutting off the patch stem and mounting the tyre again on the rim.
• Step 9: Check wheel balancing

After adequate air is pumped in, your car tyre will be ready to be driven on roads again.
