Wheelbarrow flat tyre

I'm new here so go easy on me but this did seem like a good place to get some advice...

My wheelbarrow has had a flat tyre for some time now and late last year I bought an inner tube to fix it. However that has not been successful either due to my incompetence on fitting it or because it was just a poor quality product. I'm going to try one last time with a puncture repair kit this weekend as I hate to admit defeat on this.

I know I can get a fairly good new wheelbarrow for under £40 but that seems like overkill just because of a puncture. Does anyone know why it seems to be so hard to get a complete replacement wheel though?

My local B&Q never has them in stock and after the experience with buying an apparently useless inner tube on eBay I'm more cautious about buying a wheel that way...

Any advice gratefully received

Finally the Great Wheelbarrow Debacle is behind us... what a relief! The replacement wheel is on and it works fairly well despite needing a little "encouragement" during the fitting process :-)
