How to remove wall plugs?

Hi all

 

I would like to remove and cover the green wall plugs in my bathroom. However, the green wall plugs are so tight that can't be remove or further go inside. 

 

Could someone help?

Re: How to repair the hole between bathroom tiles

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Keithsun. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing wall plugs.

 

The easiest option is to drill them out with a wood drill. Choose a size slightly smaller than their outside diameter to avoid damaging the surrounding tile. Once you've drilled out most of their core, you can pull the rest out with needle-nosed pliers.

 

The holes can then be filled with PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste and touched up with Rust-Oleum Tub And Tile Touch Up Kit if necessary. Alternatively, the holes could also be filled with a wet area white silicone.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.
