The reason to bother with a repair rather than a replacement is straightforward in Esher: the tyres on a lot of cars here are not cheap, and a correctly placed tread puncture does not require buying a new one.
The method is fixed and does not bend for the clock. Wheel off, bead broken, tyre off the rim, inside inspected, hole reamed and filled with a combined stem and patch, tyre refitted, wheel balanced, pressures set, nuts torqued. The inspection is the part that people under time pressure want skipped, and it is the part that finds what a driver could not see: a torn liner, an object that has travelled sideways through the casing, the tell tale dust of a tyre run soft.
What cannot be undone is miles already covered. If you are late for something at Sandown Park or trying to reach Hinchley Wood before the school gate closes, and the tyre is flat rather than merely soft, driving on it takes the repair off the table. Stopping is the fastest route to keeping the tyre you already own.
The holiday departure is the one that hurts most, because the whole thing is timed. Ferry, flight, a booked slot at the other end, and a nail found in the tread while the car is being loaded outside the house in Oxshott. The A3 runs through it, Claygate sits off it, and Hinchley Wood is the next call along. Tight in Thames Ditton, easy in Weston Green: neither stops the job. Level in Oxshott, sloping in Sandown Park: we set the car straight first.

A puncture caught early in Esher is usually a repair, and repairs here are worth chasing because the tyres tend to be large, specified and expensive to replace. The deciding factor is nearly always how far the car was driven after the pressure dropped. Stop, ring, and there is a good chance the tyre on the car stays on the car with a patch inside it.
A commuter returning to a car at Esher station found a rear tyre almost flat. The nail sat in the crown and the tyre had not been driven on it at all. We repaired it in the bay and the wheel went back balanced, which saved a very expensive replacement.
A driver on Portsmouth Road heard a rhythmic tapping and pulled in rather than joining the dual carriageway. A self tapping screw had gone in at an angle but well within the repairable zone. Twenty five minutes later the same tyre was back on the car.
A car at Hinchley Wood had punctures in two tyres after a run through roadworks. One was central and repairable. The other had entered through the shoulder, so it was replaced. We did not pretend that both of them could be saved.

I used their service to fix a punctured tyre. They arrived within 45 minutes and replaced my tyre. Highly recommend for urgent tyre service.
Excellent service, extraordinary job. Amazing man helped me at night. Recommend to everyone.
Was stuck on a Sunday and needed a new tyre. Very quick response and friendly, helpful fix.
About half an hour of work once the van is with you, and typically thirty to sixty minutes for it to get there across Esher, Claygate, Hinchley Wood and Thames Ditton. The tyre goes back on the car balanced and at the correct pressure before we leave.
A repair carried out to the standard, in the right area of the tread, restores the tyre for the rest of its life and carries no speed restriction. What does create a weak spot is an external plug fitted without inspecting the inside, which is why we do not fit them.
Sometimes. The standard allows more than one repair provided they are far enough apart and each sits within the permitted area. If they are close together, or one is in the shoulder, the tyre is finished and we will tell you so on the spot.
No. The tyre machine and the balancer travel on the van, so everything happens at the car, whether that is a driveway in Weston Green, a bay at the station or a gated development off the A244. Nothing leaves with us except the old tyre.
Usually. The sensor sits on the valve inside the wheel and we work around it, replacing the valve service kit where that is needed. If a sensor has already failed we will tell you, but a repair does not normally disturb a working one.
