My old one has blown up its last tyre looking for a replacement. Tyres mainly, best value and reliability?

three phase £250 budget
ABAC, Finn, Sip, atlas copco, HPC, Ingersoll Rand.......
ABAC probably best for a smallish machine

Sorry missed the £250 budget, might as well just buy the cheapest you can because at that price it won't be built to last or be worth repairing anyway.
Made compressors for Spaldings years ago. I have one, single phase, 150l tank, but it needs a pump refurb. Anywhere where I might obtain refurb kit?

You’ll get nothing decent for £250

If the tank and motor are good, just get a new pump. Some of our compressors are on their third pump. We are now using ABAC units

Spoke to the guy who does our tyres a few weeks back about replacing my compressor and he said a single phase Clarke are good,he used one for years without a hitch.

Same here so I bought a Clarke to replace it.
Exactly the same feckin machine just a different sticker!
Having said that, it works fine.
Yep, some slight differences but essentially seem the same!
I just didn`t like the attitude of the SGS people when there was a problem.

I know it’s over budget but you won’t get much for £250 This would do the job and last you a lifetime and return min£250 in 10 years time
or this Stanley is on budget and would do the job also

Have you any staff? As if you have staff and a compressor goes boom your in trouble, your meant to have them checked under pressure vessel regs which makes them expensive to maintain. You can get a big three phaser or 3.5hp+ single phase which home gamers can’t use for cheap.
Sorry, I don`t understand this bit.

people at home with only a 13 amp supply in their garage. Most wont go down the route of a 32A breaker as its too much messing about. i do come across a few 3 phase units quite often generally huge from the printing industry from running large printing press air feed systems. With Covid19 a lot of commercial printers have fallen over in the last 12 months as they arent printing sales brochures and travel brochures so liquidators don't really know what to do with them as there meant to be in test to be sold on bidspotter etc.
Compair Broomwade 325L 7.5kw, 10hp, 3ph Compressor | eBay this would be good if you can tidy it up abit.
