Tile repairs

Recently replaced a shower cubicle with bath and overhead shower. Wall tiles have holes that were drilled in order to attach shower cubicle...anything I can do to make then look a bit less obvious? Tiles are a fairly neutral colour, could I mix a tint with a filler of some description?!

You could fill holes with decorators caulk and then touch up filled bits using a matchpot with paint the nearest colour you can find to blend in with tiles.
This wouldn't be very useful if the area concerned will be frequently soaked but will stop them standing out like a sore thumb until you can have the area re-tiled.
In a previous life I also filled these sort of holes with filler then used the filled hole areas to screw in some hooks and hung bath mitts etc on the hooks.
It depends where the holes are as to how practical these suggestions are.

Sadly, it is a fact of life that for every job in the home you have done, you have to have 3 more things done to repair the damage IYKWIM.
