Default Repairing a tile

We have a tile at the entrance door to the common stairwell that has
been damaged by repeated contact with the hook used to hold the door
open. It is a semi-circular abrasion of the glaze. The tile survived
for 100 years until new neighbours moved in but that's another story.

I'm wondering the best way to carry out a repair for maximum
durability. Ordinary filler or enamel paint would just wear away.


Could you cut out a circle with a diamond core drill and insert a brass
disk with a rubber pad behind. Not original but possibly in keeping with
the style not an original idea I saw something similar done in a place we
rented on holiday once.



Of course he can't, he's just collecting ideas & info to appear
knowledgeable at the tenants' Vs management co. meeting
