Hi there all, hope you doin great. Just saw this blogpost and thought it'd be best to ask here instead of searching for answers on google.
I've these two pics, one is from Bathroom tile and one is bathroom wall, when I put these nails for firdge wire extension, I mistakenly did it myself thinking nothing big could happen, but though they are tiny things, but the landlord is asking me to fix these whatsoever. I dont know at all, and I thought maybe I could ask here for best thing to proceed whether to ask some tiler or tradie to fix this or do it myself? If I ask some professional, he's gonna charge a couple hundred bucks atleast, but I read that I can put some type of clay ir whatever in those holes and just take the paint reference to bunnings, and get a tiny bucket for that same color of wall to fill those holes and color the wall afterwards. And about tile, one guy i askes said whole tile needs to be taken out and replaced. But I read theres some type of epoxy that can somewhat resemble the tile style and color, so instead of replacing whole tile, I just put an epoxy there to fill it?
Please guide, whether to ask some profiessional or do this small task myself? And how?
Hello @mac123
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your broken tile.
Yes, it is possible to patch the tile using PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste. Please note that the epoxy paste dries in an off-white colour and will not match the colour or finish or your tile. The same product can be used to repair the small holes in your concrete or plaster walls. It will be necessary to touch up these sections with paint so that they blend in. Can it cover holes made in grout? Yes, it can be used as a grout patch as well.
Generally speaking, you'll need to feather the surface of the epoxy paste with your thumb so that it blends in with height of the tile. It can be sanded down, but it would save you time if the repair was made to the same level as the tile surface. Please keep in mind that this is a patch repair, your goal is to make the patch blend in and disappear or make it very difficult to spot. If the landlord is not satisfied with the repair it will be necessary to engage the services of a tiler to repair the damage.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
