Some punctures can legally be repaired. Some it is illegal to repair them.

Have you identified what caused the flat and where (eg a nail sticking out?)0 -
Usually about a tenner at the back street places that repair tyres. Last time I had one done I was in and out in 10 minutes.
North East prices. It could be £50+ for you lot down south before anyone starts.0 -

User that has spares and implies they know how to use them doesn't know how to check wheels or what is involved in a mot. Nah, don't buy it.0

I agree. If the puncture is too near the sidewall, it is better and safer to get a new tyre.
My nexen tire got a puncture in between the treads and I just used a plug. After a few days, I went to a tyre repair shop to have it patched from the inside.0 -
You might consider taking one fastener from another wheel and putting it on the wheel with three until such time as you can source replacements
I personally would not be driving it at all if at all feasable0
