Home to Tenby Street after midnight and the tyre is soft with a nail in it. It can be repaired in the bay overnight to BS AU 159, not swapped for a new tyre by default.
An out-of-hours puncture in the Jewellery Quarter can be a tread puncture from workshop debris on Vyse Street or Warstone Lane, spotted when the resident parks up late or a night-shift worker heads out early. A car that has stood in its bay rather than limped on the flat normally has an intact inner liner, and a repair is the right call at 1am just as it would be at lunchtime.
The fitter brings the repair kit and the balancer, takes the wheel off in the permit bay, and inspects the tyre inside with a lamp. Where the nail sits in the repairable centre section of the tread and the hole is smaller than 6 mm, a patch-plug is sealed in from the inside, the wheel balanced and put back. The repair price quoted on the call is the daytime one; a replacement is proposed only if the standard rules a repair out.
If the job turns out to be different, see locking wheel nut removal in Jewellery Quarter, emergency mobile tyre fitting in Jewellery Quarter or emergency tyre repair.
Overnight repairs go ahead in residents' bays, pay-and-display bays near the Metro stop, and courtyards where a gate can be opened. A legal bay off the main roads around St Paul's Square is the easiest to reach.

How our 24 hour tyre service works →24 hour tyre repair on the Jewellery Quarter page
A puncture late in the evening near Arena Birmingham South, Brindley Place station or along Ladywood Middleway is best dealt with from a legal bay. Pull in away from moving traffic, then wait in the car. Give us the nearest named stop or car park, and the fitter assesses the tyre on arrival, repairing it where the damage is within limits.
Some punctures found at night in the quarter cannot be patched. A shoulder or sidewall injury, the kind the Key Hill cobbles inflict, needs a new tyre, and so does one driven flat until the casing is crushed and scorched inside. If sleep or a shift will keep you away when the van arrives, agree a hiding place for the locking key and explain the way through any courtyard gate. A car in a permit bay on Frederick Street is easy to reach.
