Flawless tiles despite drying: How we professionally repair drill holes
After professional drying, visible traces often remain—especially in the form of drill holes in the floor. These holes, particularly on tiles, not only affect the appearance but can also compromise the hygiene and tightness of the surface in the long term. But don’t worry: with SMARTRESQ’s restoration process, drill holes can be professionally, material-specifically, and almost invisibly repaired—regardless of whether replacement tiles are still available or not.
Why do drill holes occur in the first place?
In cases of water damage in the insulation layer—such as after a pipe burst—targeted screed drying is necessary. For this purpose, punctual drillings are made, usually directly through the floor covering such as:
-
Ceramic tiles
-
Porcelain stoneware
-
Natural stone
-
Parquet or laminate
Air is blown in or sucked out through these openings. Technically useful—but visually problematic if not treated afterwards.


Our solution: Sustainable and precise drill hole repair
Whether tiles, wood, or synthetic floor coverings, SMARTRESQ offers professional restoration that matches the original material and avoids a complete reinstallation.
Our services at a glance:

Tip: If possible, keep the drill plugs! They significantly simplify later repairs and improve the visual result.

What to do if no replacement tiles are available?
No problem. Our method allows repairs even without the original material—using specially developed techniques to match surface and color. This way, even tiles with special patterns or discontinued series can still be used.
This naturally also applies to wooden floors, laminate, PVC, or other coverings. We tailor our repair method individually to the existing floor.
