Every repair we do gets marked on the tyre, and the reason is that the next person to take that wheel off will otherwise have no idea. A patch is on the inside. From outside a repaired tyre looks like any other tyre, so without a mark the information disappears the moment the wheel goes back on. That matters because the rules on repairs are cumulative: there is a limit on how many a tyre may carry and a minimum distance between them, and neither can be applied by somebody who does not know what is already in there.
It matters more than it used to, because cars change hands quickly and a car sold with four good tyres tells you nothing about their history. If you are buying, it is a fair question to ask, and if the answer is that nobody knows, the tyres are worth a look. If we repair a tyre for you we will tell you which one, mark it, and note what was done. It is a small piece of admin that costs nothing at the time and saves somebody a decision they cannot properly make later.
Screws and nails collect where traffic slows and stops, which in N1C usually means York Way and the parking around King's Cross. Pick one up and the only real question is whether it can be repaired. Old tyres leave Pentonville Road, King's Cross and N1C with us, every time. You watch it happen in Battle Bridge, or at the kerb in Regent's Canal.

King's Cross is a place people move through rather than settle in, and the cars reflect it: bought quickly, sold quickly, with a history nobody has written down. That is exactly the situation where a marked repair earns its keep, because it turns a guess into a fact for whoever handles the tyre next. There is almost nowhere to stop around the Euston Road, so all of this happens on a side street or in a car park with the car where you left it.
A tyre off Caledonian Road came off the wheel showing a marked repair from an earlier visit. Knowing exactly where it was made the decision about the new puncture straightforward.
A car bought near Battle Bridge had two repaired tyres nobody had mentioned. Both repairs were sound. The point is that it took taking the wheels off to find out.
A straightforward patch on a car near the Pentonville Road, marked on the sidewall so the next fitter starts from knowledge rather than guesswork.
Because a patch is on the inside and invisible once the wheel is back on. The limits on repairs depend on how many a tyre already carries and how far apart they are, and neither of those can be judged by somebody who has not been told.
On the sidewall, near the repair position, so anybody breaking the tyre off the rim sees it before they start. It is small, permanent and does not affect the tyre.
Ask whoever fitted them, and if nobody knows, the answer only comes from taking the tyre off the wheel. On a car bought secondhand that is worth doing once rather than assuming.
Not meaningfully. A properly placed repair is permanent and the tyre runs out its tread life normally. What costs you is an unmarked repair somebody discovers at an awkward moment and has to treat with suspicion.
