    Default how to repair a tile

    just got na call from a t.v company , one of there fitters have just drilled a hole through a wall and through a tile in the bathroom (dont laugh), tiles are discontiued and theres no spares, is there any product you can use to patch a small hole, im thinking along the lines of something you can mix like grout but add colours to it to try and get a match.

    Thin walls or a long drill, unlucky

    If it was me I'd be demanding a bathroom TV to cover the hole in the tile.lol

    If they have drilled through from the back, has the tile not blown at the front, ala a bullet exit wound?

    Same as above, resin.

    Have you had a chance to check if the tile is still soundly bonded to the wall?

    P.S I like Tommys idea, get a free TV out of it
