Charlie White (Charlie DIYte)Expert source
An indoor wall filler is a ready-mixed paste, or sometimes a powder, that you press into cracks, screw holes, and small areas of lost plaster so the surface will take paint. Prices were captured with the listings and were not re-. An everyday tub covers a screw hole if you stay inside its layer limit. Mesh is a plasterboard bridge you still fill over. A plug compound restores grip in an oversized hole. Stick-on tiles and vinyl trim do not fill a crack. If the job is a shallow skim across a surface rather than a hole or a crack, look at a [surface filler](/hub/fillers-adhesives-and-sprays/surface-filler) instead. UK buyers on amazon.co.uk are mostly decorating at home. Depth in one pass comes first, then whether you must layer.

The best indoor wall fillers in detail

The FPNNZ pack is a seven-piece plasterboard patch kit at about £6.99, with 4.7 from 13 amazon.co.uk reviews. You get two 2 inch metal mesh patches, two 4 inch patches, two sandpapers and a trowel. The listing says you place the mesh, then apply filler or plaster, then sand, so the kit is the bridge and not the paste. The water-resistance attribute says not water resistant, and a separate feature line says waterproof. Thirteen reviews is a small sample next to the SOL 10 cm patches, which have 507. The size attribute is 10 x 10 x 0.2 cm, which does not describe a 4 inch patch on its own. A 4.7 here is not a stronger result than a filler with thousands of reviews.
Pros
- Two 2 inch and two 4 inch self-adhesive mesh patches
- Sandpaper and a trowel in the same pack
- 4.7 from 13 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Listed for gypsum board and most interior walls
Cons
- You still need filler or plaster over the mesh
- Water-resistance attribute and a waterproof feature line disagree
- Only 13 reviews
- The size attribute does not match a 4 inch patch by itself
Best for: A small interior plasterboard hole that fits a 2 inch or 4 inch patch, when you already have filler.
Less suitable: A hairline crack, a skim across a whole wall, or a hole larger than the 4 inch mesh.

Common questions
Is this the filler, or a patch?
It is a self-adhesive metal mesh kit. The listing says you apply filler or plaster over the patch and then sand.
What sizes are in the pack?
Two 2 inch iron mesh patches, two 4 inch patches, two sandpapers and one trowel. The size attribute is 10 x 10 x 0.2 cm.
Is it waterproof?
The water-resistance attribute says not water resistant. A separate feature line says waterproof. The extract does not resolve that.

The Polycell Multi-Purpose Polyfilla tube, model PLCMPP330GS, is 330 g of ready-mixed white paste at about £3.49. amazon.co.uk lists 4.6 from 14,595 reviews, the largest file in this set, and the rank is 62 in DIY & Tools. Reviewers still paint the fill: one says it did not dry completely white, and one says to prime or the repair shows through. The seller bullets do not state a millimetre limit, though one captured review describes holes and cracks up to 10 mm. The listing attributes give a 2-hour full cure and a 2-hour initial hardening, and they mark the paste as water resistant. Polycell's multi-purpose page for this type of paste says to layer once the repair is above 10 mm. The item weight is 358 g against a 330 g fill. It is the top pick here for ordinary screw holes because of that review file, not because a lab measured the tube.
Pros
- 330 g ready-mixed tube at about £3.49
- 4.6 from 14,595 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Listing states a 2-hour cure and hardening time
- Rank 62 in DIY & Tools
Cons
- Seller bullets do not state a fill depth
- Reviews say you still need paint, and one says to prime
- One review says the fill did not dry completely white
- Item weight is 358 g against a 330 g fill
Best for: Ordinary indoor screw holes and small cracks when you want the tube with the largest review file in this set.
Less suitable: A hairline that needs a fine filler, a hole past about 10 mm in one pass, or a moving gap at a skirting.

Common questions
Is a fill depth stated on the listing?
The seller bullets do not give a millimetre limit. One captured review describes holes and cracks up to 10 mm. Polycell's multi-purpose page for this type of paste says to layer once the repair is above 10 mm.
Does the white fill disappear under paint?
Reviews say you still paint it. One says it did not dry completely white, and one says to prime or the fill shows through.
How long does the listing say it takes?
The listing attributes say a full cure time of 2 hours and an initial hardening time of 2 hours.

Palace Fine Surface Filler, model 68-4, is a 600 g tub at about £1.25, with 4.6 from 2,247 amazon.co.uk reviews. The seller says deeper repairs go on in layers of no more than 3 mm, then you feather the edge, sand, and use oil- or water-based paint. It is worded for interior plaster, masonry, timber, skirting and frames, not for a deep hole. One reviewer used it on big holes and thought that was the wrong job, and one review says fine cracks dry sooner while deeper fills need at least 24 hours. Reviewers say a poor seal lets the paste go hard, and that some tubs arrived split or leaked. The volume attribute says 120 ml against a 600 g fill, so those two fields cannot both describe the tub. It is the best value in this set for shallow nicks, because of the price and the review count, and it is the wrong paste once the crack needs more than a 3 mm layer.
Pros
- About £1.25 for 600 g, the lowest shelf price in this set
- 4.6 from 2,247 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Layers capped at 3 mm, with a feather edge
- Interior surfaces named, then oil- or water-based paint
Cons
- Wrong tub for big holes, which one reviewer found
- Lids that fail to seal, and some tubs that arrived split or leaked
- Volume attribute of 120 ml against 600 g
- Deeper fills can need at least 24 hours, from one review
Best for: Hairline cracks and shallow interior nicks when a 3 mm layer is enough.
Less suitable: A hole deeper than 3 mm in one pass, a plasterboard void, or a tub you will leave open.

Common questions
How thick should each layer be?

Is it for hairline cracks or deep holes?
The title and bullets are for shallow depressions, cracks and fine nicks. One reviewer used it on big holes and thought that was the wrong job.
Why do reviews mention the lid?
Reviewers say a poor seal lets the paste go hard, and that some tubs arrived split or leaked.

The Decex kit is a 396 g Polycell tube sold with a 3 inch scraper and a 120-grit block, listed at about £13.90 with 4.6 from 15 amazon.co.uk reviews. The seller bullet says it fills holes up to 10 mm on plaster, masonry, concrete and brickwork, and that the surface is dry in 1–2 hours and recoatable in 2 hours. A further seller line says the fill is drillable once it has fully set, and that the kit is for indoors and outdoors. Those lines are the seller's, not the captured Polycell specification for this tube. Fifteen reviews is a thin file next to the 330 g Polycell tube's 14,595. You pay for the scraper and the block as well as the paste, so about £13.90 is not a cheap way to buy 396 g of filler. The listing does not state a water claim.
Pros
- 396 g Polycell tube plus a 3 inch scraper and a 120-grit block
- Seller states up to 10 mm, surface-dry in 1–2 hours
- 4.6 from 15 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Recoatable in 2 hours on the seller bullet
Cons
- Outdoor and drillable lines are seller bullets, not the captured Polycell page
- Only 15 reviews
- About £13.90 for 396 g plus tools, not a low paste price
- No water claim on the listing
Best for: A small indoor repair when you want the scraper and sanding block in the same order as the tube.
Less suitable: A whole room of filling, or a screw you plan to put into the fill on the strength of the seller's drillable line.

Common questions
Does this kit include a scraper?
Yes. The listing includes a Decex 3 inch scraper and a flexible 120-grit sanding block with the 396 g Polycell tube.
How deep does the seller say it fills?
The seller bullet says holes up to 10 mm deep, on plaster, masonry, concrete and brickwork, indoors and outdoors. That outdoor line is the seller's, not the captured Polycell page.
Can you drill it?
The seller bullet says the fill is drillable once it has fully set. That line is the seller's, not a separate Polycell specification in this extract.

The Palace Langlow ready-mixed acrylic filler, model 68-1, is a 1 kg tub at about £6.99, with 4.5 from 4,537 amazon.co.uk reviews. The seller says layers no thicker than 10 mm, each one dry before the next, with a skin in about 30 minutes and a full cure of up to 24 hours at 20 °C. You sand it, then use oil- or water-based paint. The listing says it is not for exposed exteriors or continuous immersion, even though a water attribute says waterproof, and one review describes outdoor use on a fascia. The item weight is 1.15 kg against a 1 kg fill. It is the larger everyday tub when the repair is past a fine filler and still inside a 10 mm layer. It is not a drillable deep-gap product.
Pros
- 1 kg tub at about £6.99 with layers capped at 10 mm
- 4.5 from 4,537 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Skin in about 30 minutes and full cure up to 24 hours at 20 °C
- Sand, then oil- or water-based paint
Cons
- Not for exposed exteriors or continuous immersion
- One review describes outdoor use the listing rules out
- A waterproof attribute sits beside the immersion exclusion
- Item weight 1.15 kg against a 1 kg fill
Best for: Indoor cracks and holes you will build in layers no thicker than 10 mm, when 1 kg is a useful amount.
Less suitable: A hairline that only needs a fine filler, an exposed outside wall, or a screw fixing.

Can you use it outside?
The seller bullet says it is not suitable for exposed exterior locations or continuous immersion. One review describes outdoor use on a fascia.
Can you paint it?
Yes, once it is dry and sanded, with oil- or water-based paint. The listing says it skins in about 30 minutes and is surface dry in about 1–2 hours.

The Sika Everbuild all-purpose tub is 600 g of ready-mixed paste at about £4.49, with 4.4 from 5,464 amazon.co.uk reviews. The seller states fills up to 9 mm deep and 25 mm wide, which is a written size the 330 g Polycell bullets do not give. It is listed for interior and exterior use if you seal an outdoor fix with oil-based paint, while the water-resistance attribute says not water resistant. Reviews praise a thin fill and say a thick layer is very hard to sand. The listing says you can sand it when dry and then use most paints, stains or wallpaper, and the seller calls it quick-drying without a timed cure on the card. The material attribute says PVA. It is the clearer written size when the hole is near that 9 mm by 25 mm limit, and a poor one if you pile it on and expect an easy sand.
Pros
- Stated limit of 9 mm deep and 25 mm wide
- 4.4 from 5,464 reviews at about £4.49 for 600 g
- Sandable, then most paints, stains or wallpaper
- Interior and exterior, with oil-based paint named for outdoor fixes
Cons
- A thick layer is very hard to sand, according to reviews
- Water-resistance attribute says not water resistant
- No timed cure on the listing, only a quick-drying claim
- Not the tub for a hairline that wants a feather edge
Best for: An indoor hole or crack within 9 mm deep and 25 mm wide, when you want that size written on the listing.
Less suitable: A deep plasterboard void, a fine hairline, or an outdoor fix you will not seal with oil-based paint.

The Sinto tub is 5 kg of ready-mixed white paste at about £16.33, with 4.4 from 768 amazon.co.uk reviews. The seller bullet says repairs up to 1 cm deep and claims zero shrinkage and no cracking. Captured reviews include lumps, sagging, and fills that shrank and cracked, so that no-crack line stays the seller's wording. The listing attribute gives a 12-hour cure, and reviews say deep holes take a long time to dry. The material field says silicone while another attribute says plastic, so the card does not describe one compound cleanly. Indoor or outdoor use is not stated. At about £3.27 per kilogram on the paste weight it is the large tub in this set, and it is still the wrong tub for a hairline or a loose plug.
Pros
- 5 kg ready-mixed tub at about £16.33
- 4.4 from 768 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Seller states repairs up to 1 cm
- Listing cure time of 12 hours
Cons
- Reviews report lumps, sagging, and fills that shrank and cracked
- The zero-shrinkage line is a seller claim
- Material field says silicone; another attribute says plastic
- Indoor or outdoor use is not stated
Best for: A lot of shallow indoor filling when you actually need 5 kg and can wait for the 12-hour cure.
Less suitable: Hairline cracks, a hole you need to screw into, or anyone treating the no-crack bullet as a guarantee.

The seller bullet claims zero shrinkage and no cracking. Captured reviews include lumps, sagging, and fills that shrank and cracked. That no-crack line stays the seller's wording.
What is the stated cure time?
The listing attribute says a full cure time of 12 hours. Reviews also say deep holes take a long time to dry.

The SOL pack is four 10 cm self-adhesive mesh patches at about £5.29, with 4.4 from 507 amazon.co.uk reviews. The bullets say to use them with wall filler or plaster, and reviews describe filler over the mesh. Many reviews say the backing sticks and the mesh supports the fill. Others say the glue failed and the patch moved while plaster was applied. The listing marks the patches as not water resistant, and it does not state a paste depth because they are not a filler. The material field says metal. At about £5.29 for four patches this is the mesh with a real review count in the set, and it still leaves you to buy the paste.
Pros
- Four 10 cm self-adhesive mesh patches at about £5.29
- 4.4 from 507 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Many reviews say the backing sticks
- Meant to sit under wall filler or plaster
Cons
- Some reviews say the glue failed and the patch moved
- Not water resistant
- No filler in the pack
- The listing does not state a fill depth
Best for: A plasterboard hole about the size of a 10 cm patch, when you will press filler over the mesh.
Less suitable: A hairline crack, a loose wall plug, or a hole bigger than the patch.

The Art3d strip is 10 ft of peel-and-stick PVC beading at about £6.99, with 4.3 from 3,270 amazon.co.uk reviews, sold for tile edges rather than cracks. The seller says you cut it with scissors and that the acrylic tape sticks to smooth surfaces. Reviews split: some say it holds, including near a kitchen sink, and others needed extra adhesive. A seller bullet claims heat and water resistance, and the extract does not name a test. The listing dimensions are 3 x 0.01 m, with a thickness of 0.1 inches. Included components are listed as none. It hides an edge. It does not fill plaster.
Pros
- 10 ft flexible white PVC trim at about £6.99
- 4.3 from 3,270 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Cut with scissors, for smooth surfaces and tile edges
- Some reviews say it held near a kitchen sink
Cons
- Not a wall filler
- Other reviews needed extra adhesive
- The water-resistance claim has no named test
- Included-components line says none
Best for: A tile edge, corner, or mirror frame on a smooth surface, when the tape holds on the first try.
Less suitable: A crack, a screw hole, or a plasterboard patch.

Plugdoh is four 5 g sachets of orange compound at about £6.99, with 4.3 from 269 amazon.co.uk reviews, for a loose wall plug rather than a skim. The seller says you knead, fill and insert, and that it sets in 10 minutes. Reviews describe softening orange beads in hot water and working quickly before the compound firms. The listing says four sachets cover 4–10 holes, depending on size. The colour is orange, so reviews say to paint or fill over it if the orange must not show. Indoor or outdoor use and a water claim are not stated. It restores grip for a screw. It does not feather a crack.
Pros
- Four 5 g sachets aimed at a loose plug
- Seller says it sets in 10 minutes
- 4.3 from 269 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Listing covers plasterboard, masonry, tiles, concrete, wood and brick
Cons
- Orange, so the colour shows unless you paint or fill over it
- Reviews say you have to work quickly after hot water
- Not a skim or a hairline filler
- No indoor or outdoor line and no water claim
Best for: An oversized fixing hole where a curtain pole or bracket has lost its grip.
Less suitable: A crack you want to paint flush, or a deep plasterboard void you still need to skim.

The TOFFCAEa listing is ten self-adhesive brick-effect panels at about £15.99, with 4.0 from 829 amazon.co.uk reviews, and it is not a wall filler. The title gives a coverage of 1.3 square metres, while a separate attribute says 30 items against the title's 10 pieces. The seller bullets in this extract describe a washable table runner, not the tiles. Reviews say the adhesive is very strong once the backing is off, and also that some panels would not stick to painted plaster or arrived in two shades of white. Tile size is given as 39.4 x 34.8 cm. You peel and stick them. You do not sand them into a crack.
Pros
- Ten self-adhesive panels in the title, covering 1.3 m²
- 4.0 from 829 amazon.co.uk reviews
- Reviews describe a strong adhesive once the backing is off
- Named for indoor rooms such as a kitchen or living room
Cons
- Not a crack filler
- Seller bullets describe a table runner
- Title says 10 pieces and another attribute says 30
- Some panels would not stick, or arrived in two shades of white
Best for: A peel-and-stick brick effect on a sound painted wall, if the panels match and stick.
Less suitable: Any hole, crack, or loose plug you actually need to fill.

Mo's Super Store lists a 600 g ready-mixed filler with a flexible putty knife and 10 sandpaper sheets, at about £11.99. The grits named are 60, 100 and 150. amazon.co.uk shows 3.8 from 5 reviews, and the extract has no review text, so there is no account of how the paste behaved. The listing does not state a depth, a cure time, or whether the filler is for indoors only. The brand field is the shop name, and the extract does not name the filler manufacturer. Country of origin is printed as United Kingdom, and the pack weight is 950 g against a 600 g fill. At this price you are buying tools with an unnamed paste and almost no written reviews.
Pros
- Flexible knife and 10 sandpaper sheets in the pack
- Grits named as 60, 100 and 150
- 600 g of ready-mixed filler
- Country of origin printed as United Kingdom
Cons
- 3.8 from 5 reviews and no review text

How we compared
We compared 12 amazon.co.uk listings in this set and scored them from the listing facts. Prices, stars, and review counts are the amazon.co.uk lines in this set. There was no laboratory test. Fill depth and dry time were not measured. The scores do not rank the wider UK market. The four weights below sum to 100.

Indoor wall filler buying guide
Match the depth, the movement, and the indoors-only line before you buy. Pressing the paste in, layering, sanding, and closing the tub is set out in [how to fill an indoor wall](/hub/fillers-adhesives-and-sprays/wall-filler-indoor/sub/wall-filler-indoor-how-to-fill).
What is an indoor wall filler?
An indoor wall filler is a ready-mixed paste, or sometimes a powder, that you press into cracks, screw holes, and small areas of lost plaster so the surface will take paint. UK buyers on amazon.co.uk are mostly decorating at home. The useful difference is the depth and the movement the product is specified for, not the star rating on its own. Depth in one pass comes first, then whether you must layer. Polycell Fine Surface stops at 2 mm.
Best for
- Home decorators filling screw holes and hairline cracks before painting
- A plasterboard hole that needs mesh plus filler
- A loose plug where a curtain pole or bracket has lost its grip
Not ideal for
- A moving gap at a skirting or frame
- A hole you will screw into unless the product says it is drillable
- Stick-on tiles or vinyl trim used as if they fill a crack
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
One thick pass
Palace Fine Surface caps a layer at 3 mm. Palace 1 kg caps a layer at 10 mm. Polycell multi-purpose says layer once the repair is above 10 mm. A single thick pass past that limit is the mistake these pages warn against.
- 2
Rigid filler on a moving gap
A rigid fine filler is the wrong tool for a gap at a skirting or frame. Polycell Flexible Gap is the joint product. Its product page says up to 5 mm wide and 12 mm deep. A how-to that says 20 mm wide disagrees. Do not use 20 mm as the limit.
- 3
Treating mesh, tiles, or trim as the finish
SOL and FPNNZ are a plasterboard bridge you still fill over. Plugdoh restores grip and is orange. TOFFCAEa panels and Art3d trim do not fill a crack. The Decex outdoors and drillable lines are seller bullets, not the captured Polycell page.
What to weigh up
Depth in one pass
HighStart with the layer the listing or the maker actually states. Palace Fine Surface says layers no more than 3 mm, then a feather edge, sand, and oil- or water-based paint. Sika's 600 g listing writes 9 mm deep and 25 mm wide. Palace 1 kg says layers no thicker than 10 mm, a skin in about 30 minutes, and a full cure of up to 24 hours at 20 °C. Sinto's seller bullet says up to 1 cm, with a 12-hour cure on the listing. Polycell multi-purpose says layer once the repair is above 10 mm.
Movement, indoors, and the finish
HighA rigid fine filler does not belong in a gap that moves. Polycell Flexible Gap is for a joint at a frame. The product page says up to 5 mm wide and 12 mm deep, recoat 24 hours. A Polycell how-to also says 20 mm wide and paint as soon as it is dry. Those two pages disagree, so 20 mm is not the limit to use. Fine Surface, Quick Drying, and Deep Gap say indoors only.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
Hairline cracks on a low budget
You want a fine filler for shallow nicks, with layers capped at 3 mm, at the lowest shelf price in this set. It is the wrong tub for a deep hole.
A plasterboard hole or a loose plug
A hole about the size of a 10 cm patch needs mesh plus filler, not paste alone. A curtain pole that has pulled its plug needs a grip compound, then paint.
Common questions about indoor wall fillers
Which indoor wall filler is the top pick in this set?
The top pick for ordinary indoor screw holes is the Polycell Multi-Purpose Polyfilla 330 g tube at about £3.49. amazon.co.uk shows 4.6 from 14,595 reviews, the largest file in this set. The listing attributes give a 2-hour cure and mark the paste as water resistant. The seller bullets do not state a millimetre limit. Polycell's multi-purpose page for this type of paste says to layer once the repair is above 10 mm. It is not a fine filler for a hairline, and nothing here was lab-tested.
Which indoor wall filler is the best value?
The best value is Palace Fine Surface Filler 600 g at about £1.25, the lowest shelf price in the set, with 4.6 from 2,247 reviews. The seller says deeper repairs go on in layers of no more than 3 mm, then you feather the edge, sand, and use oil- or water-based paint. It is worded for interior plaster, masonry, timber, skirting and frames. One reviewer used it on big holes and thought that was the wrong job. Some tubs arrived split or leaked.
How much does indoor wall filler cost on amazon.co.uk?
On these twelve amazon.co.uk listings the shelf prices run from about £1.25 to about £16.33. Those GBP figures were captured with the listings and were not re-checked on 16 October 2026. Entry is Palace Fine Surface at about £1.25, Polycell 330 g at about £3.49, Sika 600 g at about £4.49, and SOL mesh at about £5.29. Palace 1 kg, FPNNZ, and Plugdoh are about £6.99. Sinto 5 kg is about £16.33. These bands are this set, not a market survey.
How deep can you fill a wall in one go?
Depth follows the product, not the star rating. Palace Fine Surface says layers no more than 3 mm. Sika's listing says up to 9 mm deep and 25 mm wide. Palace 1 kg says layers no thicker than 10 mm. Sinto's seller bullet says up to 1 cm. Polycell multi-purpose says layer once the repair is above 10 mm. Polycell Deep Gap, at 20 mm and drillable, and Polycell Advanced, at 50 mm and not for drilling, are not among these twelve listings.
Can you drill into indoor wall filler?
Only a product that says it is drillable should take a screw. Polycell Deep Gap says 20 mm and is drillable, and Polycell Advanced says 50 mm and is not suitable for drilling. Neither is one of these twelve ASINs. The Decex kit's seller bullet says the fill is drillable once fully set. That line is the seller's, not the captured Polycell specification. Plugdoh restores grip for a loose plug. It is not a skim you then drill.
Are the mesh, tiles, and trim in this set wall filler?
Four of the twelve listings are not a skim filler. SOL and FPNNZ are mesh you still fill over with filler or plaster. Plugdoh is an orange compound for an oversized fixing hole, and reviews say to paint over the colour. TOFFCAEa is self-adhesive brick-effect panels, and the seller bullets in the extract describe a table runner. Art3d is peel-and-stick PVC beading for tile edges. Tiles and trim do not fill a crack.
Should you fill a wall if a stain keeps coming back?
A stain that keeps returning is a reason to stop and look for damp before you fill. That check is in damp before you fill. HSE's construction-dust page says the COSHH Regulations require protection from hazardous construction dust. The page's figure of over 500 deaths a year is about construction silica, not one screw hole in these tubs. These notes do not name a mask for these fillers. Polycell says do not flush filler or wash water down the drain.
When should you stop and call a professional?
Stop when plaster is loose over a wide area, when the hole is beside wiring you cannot isolate, when you would otherwise sand a whole wall of unknown old coating, or when the ceiling damage is larger than a small mesh patch. Asbestos and lead were not documented here. That gap is a reason to stop. A rigid fine filler is also the wrong tool for a moving gap at a skirting or frame. Polycell says isolate the supply near electrics.
Our verdict
Across these twelve amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick for ordinary indoor screw holes is the Polycell Multi-Purpose Polyfilla 330 g tube: about £3.49, 4.6 from 14,595 reviews, and a 2-hour cure on the listing. The seller bullets do not print a depth. Polycell's multi-purpose page for this type of paste says to layer once the repair is above 10 mm. The best value is Palace Fine Surface Filler 600 g at about £1.25, with 4.6 from 2,247 reviews and layers capped at 3 mm. It is the lowest shelf price in the set, and the wrong paste once the crack needs more than a 3 mm layer. Palace 1 kg is the next score, with 10 mm layers and a timed cure, and it does not take either badge.
