for sake of it just get a new tube and keep the old one for a spare if you decide to fix it.

Put a new one in and fix your old to use as a spare when the new one gets a puncture.

I have puncture repaired a tube at least 3 times and still used it. Depends on what type of puncture it is and where on the tube.
