Another solution is to get another BB with longer spindle. It is a common thing those days but now, you can still get it online from Chain Reaction.
My LBS did the spindle change. cheap and effective.Folding Bicycles v5 - Not only Folding Bikes, Folding bicycle discussion

Just refer to Youtube. Instead of carrying the bike around hunting for LBS to repair, why don't you just hunt for the inner tubes. Or you can go Ace Hardware or Daiso and get a patch kit and patch it up which is even cheaper. 14 inch tires are not that rare actually, mostly used on kiddies bike. Most use the same size tubes.I checked with all the shops nearby my house in old klang road, all cant do . They said spare part is difficult to find PS/I don't think it is the parts problem. Usually LBS has this kind of attitude. The bike not bought from them, no need for after sale service.......Takes too much time and too little profit, a waste of time......... too busy assembling new bikes out of the box , no time to repair. PS/PS/ If you want to patch it yourself, you don't have to take out the wheel. Just overturn the bike (upside down) and use tire levers to take out the tube and locate where the hole is. Then the usual procedure, look for the cause by rubbing your fingers slowly inside the tire. Take out the cause and then patch the tire and put it all back. In the 60s and 70s, LBS patches puncture this way, 30 cents to patch. Those days, you can have like 10 patches and still you are using the same inner tubes unlike nowadays, they just change the tubes. But my guess is, you don't have a pump......hahaaaaa.

No need to take out anything if you patch. Just pry the tires off the rims and pull the inner tube out and locate the leak and patch it. No need to unscrew anything. Good luck.
