    A lodger didn't admit, but no one else could do it.  

    How many lodgers do you have?

    Are you sure they weren't repairs by your fitters that have now come away?

    I suppose it could be an electric shaver with a bit of weight but all our tiles have always broken the thing landing on them rather than break themselves.

    Either way it sounds too small an issue to make a big fuss about especially with no proof if you're otherwise happy with the lodger. By the time you come to sell your bathroom with be old enough for a couple of chips not to make any difference. Still annoying but probably a 'that's life' thing.

    I could quite easily believe modern high-end razor blades can damage ceramic surfaces.
    I'd put this behind you as it won't affect your house sale.
