Reasonable solution to stained stair carpet

Trying to help me niece out with ending her tenancy.
The landlord has said he wants carpets (main bedroom, stair and lounge) in the house replaced. The inventory states that the lounge and bedroom carpets were badly stained on commencement of the tenancy so its clear he has no claim against them. The stair carpet is stated as in good condition so I think they will need to accept that they will have to pay towards its replacement. It looks like a fairly cheap carpet (not wool or anything)
The problem is the landlord bought the property with the carpets already in place and used, my niece moved in a week later and is now moving out 2 and a half years later so how do we come to an agreement of what she pays? Should she make an offer of £50 (the stain they left is very small)
