Inherited Problems

[Damocles 2]

My condo unit was bought in the secondary market.

On moving in, I noticed that some of the ceramic tiles, both on the wall as well as the floor were nicked.

These could have been made by careless workmen with the electric hand tools.

Is there any way that I could remedy the unsightly nicks?

Also, a hole which is about the size of a small coin has been gouged into the wooden floor in one of the bedrooms.

What can be done to fill this up properly?

Thank you.

Regards,

There is a wooden putty thatcan be used to cover up the hole. It is the same colour as in wood, thereby no repainting is necessary. If the hole is too deep, you need several layers. Apply after one layer has dried, and sandpaper to level any rough finish.
