You can buy a small pot of fabric paint (any craft store) or dye (be sure to follow dye package instructions) to try 'painting' in the bleach spots.
Carefully apply a light layer of colour to the spots with a cotton bud (cotton swab or Q-Tip if you're in the US).
You might be tempted to apply heavily but resist the temptation-it's better to let the first application dry to see if you're going to need to apply another coat. It may take several applications to completely cover but one heavy application will take forever to dry and may not look right.
Put a plastic colander (spaghetti strainer) over the spots you've 'painted' and let dry undisturbed for at least 48 hours. Check the coverage and reapply if necessary until you reach the right coverage.
BtW, this usually works with bleached spots on carpeting:) Good luck, let us know what ends up working for you!
