to patch you need to buy the plasters. either a tub or buy the powdered form (mix water).

can't really make it just like the tiles anymore. drill another hole and cover it with an art piece or something?

paste a cute sticker over it.

have lah - think now is call self fix. got different colors also.

so depend yr wall tile simi color u buy something similar lah

u sway if u tile is the pattern one then the hole there sibeh obvious cannot find color mix match

then i think u buy the nearest color and use hair dryer heat then make smooth filing already use sticker cover

get matching paint with tiles to touch up the putty to make it less obvious

best is use white putty for light coloured tiles rah

then colour it to the nearest colour...

after that ask chiur mummy to check if she notices it

My tiles were light grey color, and it was the corner tiles that got chipped off ... so i cement it then sort of paint over it ... still ok.

can use putty to put over it. But depends on the color of chiu tiles ...
