i would expect to pay £15 for a hot vulcanised shoulder repair however its not ideal on a performance tyres as its more suited to bread and butter stuff
most tyre dealers who are into doing plant tyres/ repairs will know where to send them,mines literally 2 miles away but its years since i needed such a repair

Not a bad price. Is that including the new valve, and balancing?

It turned out that a nail has punctured the corner of the tyre and I was told that the tyre has to be replaced.

Depends on the garage..

They're not supposed to repair them on the side wall however a local garage did one for me last year for £20 (back door job). I didn't know where the puncture was, they found it fixed it, brought it out and offered me the choice - Slightly dodgy but in reality safe and cheap or a new tyre?

I chose the cheap option and I've not had a problem with it. The fella did say it used to be common practice but some H&S law put an end to it. The tyre still had 6mm on it at the time so it would of been a waste.
