Rib tube repair - Devon

Can anyone recommend somewhere in Devon to get a couple of small tube repairs done on my rib?

I've tried Tilleys but they’re only doing commercials works at the moment due to the current COVID restrictions and there doesn’t seem to be anywhere around my part of Devon that does this sort of work.
As close to Exeter as possible

I’ve tried him but struggling to get hold of him, it’s still an 1.15 hour drive from Exeter at least when towing.

That’s tilleys and they have an amazing reputation but they’re only doing commercial work at the moment.

Whats the nature of the repair? The collective wisdom may be able to guide a DIY effort and then you don't have to drive at all

That’s not bad. I travelled up from Jersey and drove from Poole down to Ed’s at Dartmouth.

Towed my 7.5m all the way through the lanes down to his shop and back. Over 4 hours each way. Not too bad once you get going.
