How do you repair torn roof felt under tiles?

Is there a proper way to fix torn felt without stripping off half the roof? Just trying to stop a small leak before it gets worse.

"yes this is possible you will have to remove a section of tiles around the affected area, cut out existing roof batten, and cover rip in felt ensuring its covered on the lap at the top"
