Fast and Reliable Puncture Repairs in Launceston
A punctured tyre always seems to happen at the worst time, whether you're heading to work or out on the road. While modern tyres are built tough, sharp objects like nails, screws, or glass can still cause damage, leading to a flat. Driving on a deflated tyre isn’t safe and can cause further damage, making a simple repair impossible.
If you get a puncture, the first step is to safely remove the flat tyre and fit your spare. Once your spare is on, bring your damaged tyre to Tyreright Launceston, where our expert team will assess the damage and let you know if it can be repaired.

When a Tyre Can’t Be Repaired
Not all punctures can be fixed. If there is severe damage to the sidewall, shoulder, or tread, a replacement will be necessary. Our technicians will advise you on the best course of action.
Tyreright Launceston carries a wide range of tyres from leading brands, so if a replacement is needed, we can recommend the right option for your vehicle and driving needs.

Frequently asked questions
If you notice a puncture, avoid driving on the flat tyre, as this can cause further damage. Instead, safely pull over, switch to your spare tyre, and bring the damaged tyre to Tyreright St Leonards. Our team will assess whether it can be repaired or if a replacement is needed.
In some cases, a punctured tyre can be safely repaired instead of replaced, but this must be done by a trained professional to ensure roadworthiness. If a repair is possible, there are three common methods used:
Plugging
This is the quickest and simplest repair. A technician inserts an approved plug coated in rubber adhesive into the puncture. As you drive, the heat generated causes the adhesive to vulcanise, sealing and hardening the repair.
Patching
A rubber patch is bonded to the inside of the tyre using a specialised adhesive. As the tyre heats up during driving, the adhesive vulcanises, ensuring a strong and durable seal.
Plug/Patch Combination
This method combines both techniques for added reinforcement. A plug is inserted and glued, followed by a patch bonded to the inside of the tyre at the base of the plug’s tail. This ensures an airtight and secure repair.
All repairs at Tyreright St Leonards are carried out by experienced technicians in accordance with Australian Standard AS 1973-1993, ensuring safety and reliability. If a tyre cannot be repaired, we’ll provide expert advice on the best replacement options to keep you moving safely.
Punctures that occur within the tread area and meet safety standards can typically be repaired. If the damage is too large or located on the sidewall or shoulder, the tyre cannot be safely repaired and will need replacing. Our technicians will assess your tyre and provide expert advice.
