I want to move my shower's glass holder further, so that leaves the old hole in the tile, with a wall plug in it.
How do I remove the wall plug, and how do I fill the tile with (beige) filler? Or, what filler do I use?
Pictures attached.

One answer is to just put a screw in with a screw cap, grey, white, beige, chrome mirror screw, whatever you like.
Do not try to pull the plug out if avoidable it may bring some tile with it. I normally find a bolt or rod just a little smaller than the plug dia and use it to tap the plug under flush with a hammer, then use some grout.
 
I typically push the plug further into walls, but I am no expert so I thought I'd ask.
The solution with the screw and cap is a good one, thanks.
Can I get grout in the colour of my tile at all? I wonder if I don't get the right colour it will look off.
