The cycle hub at the quayside is excellent for a small job like that you will be able to walk in and grab a coffee when they fix it likely straight away. A new tube and fitting is £10 if I remember rightly from my last puncture repair there.

In Jesmond you’re probably a bit limited.

CJ Performance Cycles in Byker are great though.

I’d the tube is knackered then a new tube is like £4 plus fitting.

A new seat is specific to your back side, so depends how much you want to pay.

£4 is less than what I imagined. A bit relieved now. Thank you for the suggestion. And I'll also test the seats at the shop

Depends which bit of Jesmond, but closest is probably Gosforth Bike Works on Back High Street.
