How to fill (or cover up) a hole in a tile

[Ryan Tyne]

Hi,

We're in the process of doing repairs etc of our new home and one thing we need to repair is a hole left in a tile by the previous owner. They changed the showerhead in the shower cubicle and left a fairly big hole (and some smaller ones around it). Picture attached. I've watched some YouTube videos but this was for repairing smaller holes.

Any advice on how to deal with this greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan

Take a look under the bath panel
When I do a kitchen or bathroom (diy) I stash any spares under the sink unit or bath

Belatedly, I finally had a chance to take the bath panel off (to fit bath/shower mixer taps) and, unfortunately, there weren't any spare tiles there.

I've ordered a chrome sink tap hole blanking plug. Hopefully, that along with a bit of silicone will do the trick.

What about a plastic air vent cover?

a larger blanking plate from toolstation number 52552 might cover the lot - individual tap hole covers are only say 30mm to 40mm.
