There are too many different types and shapes of tiles to facilitate a repair. They'd have to bring so much 'repair tile' that there would be no room for anything else.

Also, losing a tile here and there has not proven to be a problem in the past.

No problem.. Cut it to fit.

You mean we can't do that?

"Also, losing a tile here and there has not proven to be a problem in the past."

When did they fall off and how many in one area. How much surface area was exposed? Were they on a leading edge? What is similar between the conditions of prior events and this one?

Maybe, but also maybe there would be to use something that would be good for "one time use" only and could be trimmed to fit? I have no idea, that's pretty far from my fields of expertise.

As far as tile repair goes, a cold mix of some kind may be feasible.

A mold that could be adjusted for height, width, and depth and where each side of the mold could be adjusted for skew and plumb, to fit the unique space of nearly every single tile on board.

The wings leading edge would be a completely different breed as the curvature of the leading edge would pose a significant engineering feat as to replicating a tile with a mold. It's not impossible to do. It would require enormous desire, committment, and will to accomplish.
