A nail found at eleven on a Mary Vale Road drive does not need a new tyre and does not need to wait until morning: it can be repaired overnight, from the inside, on the drive.
Bournville's night punctures are daytime ones noticed late. A screw from the Bristol Road hisses when a shift worker gets home to Bournville Lane at midnight; a slow leak in a tyre outside a Stirchley flat shows on the dashboard as the last customers leave. The hour makes it feel urgent, but the tyre is usually a candidate for a proper repair, and it deserves one rather than a replacement sold because the fitter arrived at 2am.
The overnight repair follows the daytime rules exactly. Wheel off on the drive, tyre off the rim under the lamp, and the hole checked: within the central part of the tread, 6 mm at most, no scarring inside from being driven flat. The patch-plug is fitted from inside, the wheel is balanced and refitted and the pressures set. If the tyre fails the check you hear it at the car; the price on the call was the daytime one.
If the job turns out to be different, see locking wheel nut removal, broken tyre replacement or wheel balancing in Bournville.
Drives on Linden Road, Mary Vale Road and across the estate, the streets round the village green and Rowheath, back streets in Stirchley, the station car park. Never a Pershore Road bay or a canal bridge.

Punctures found late at night near Druids Heath or Walkers Heath can often be repaired at the kerb in a side road. Avoid stopping on Alcester Road South; turn into a residential road and note its name. Tell us whether the nail is still in the tread, as that helps decide if a repair will hold.
A late repair in Bournville is ruled out when damage sits in the sidewall or out at the shoulder, or the hole is wider than 6 mm. A tyre driven flat from Stirchley to the drive is usually scrap too, the casing chewed up inside. If you will be asleep, or away on an early Cadbury shift, when the fitter comes, leave the car on the drive, the gate unlocked and the wheel-lock key somewhere agreed. Any replacement is then priced for you to approve.
