How do I repair drill holes in white ceramic tiles to completely cover them up?

I have changed my shower enclosure but have old drill holes in the white ceramic tiles on the walls. How do i repair these so that they are not visible?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @AEM. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about filling holes in tiles.

I suggest you fill the holes with an epoxy filler. If you only mix the required amount of activator into the filler, you'll end up with a whitish colour that will hopefully come close to the tile colour. If the filler is too off-white for your tiles, then you'd need to touch up the repaired section with white tile paint. The tile paint is reasonably expensive for such a small job, so you could try some standard enamel paint to see how long it lasts.

The trick will be only applying enough filler to fill the hole. Do not place so much in the hole that it ends up proud of the surface, as this will require you to sand the area and potentially scratch the tiles.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
