Hello! We've recently purchased a 60in diameter round dark marble table. The stone looks fine, but there is a ~1/16 in. coating on the table that is scuffed and cracked pretty severely in a couple of places. I've seen a lot of videos, etc. online that cover refinishing, but i'm looking for help...

Hello, I've recently have had a resin-backed marble installed in my entryway foyer, walkway, and steps. I live in South Florida and after 2 months some of the tiles on the front of the steps have become detached. My installer insists this is due to the resin and not the thin-set that he used...

I have a one piece light cream marble vanity top with backsplash in my bathroom that was installed in 1990 when the original owner added a bath. I would really like to keep it, but it's been stained with what I think is permanent hair dye (the color matches the hair I pulled from the p-trap)...

Hi, I know the title is probably confusing. What I need to do is install 3x6 marble subway tiles as a backsplash. I'd like to install all tiles that don't need to be cut first, then get my measurements for the ones that need to be cut and install them at a later date. The reason for this is I do...

Hey everyone, I'm about to start on a tile backsplash project with very small marble tile, so I have a few questions. I recently completed a tile floor in my bathroom with 1in hex tile on sheets, but I'm a little nervous about this backsplash. The cabinets and the counters are all level, but...

Finally got some money saved to redo a 1970's horrible master bathroom . Dont even want to post the befores on this baby! However evertime I call on a contractor to give me an estimate and I ask for either license or insured? I never hear again from them. They also contract out work such as...

I recently renovated by bathroom and included a marble cubby hole (18" high, 12" wide, 6" deep). I would like to spilt the space by putting in a glass divider to act as a shelf. What is the best way to mount the glass shelf into the marble? I would like to avoid any type of drilling. Thanks...

Hello all, I am new to this forum, so I hope I could hear from either a veteran or someone who has experience with this. I recently installed a carrara marble back splash. The tiles are 2" x 4" and they were glued to the meshing with a 3/8" space. My issue is, that I have read that unsanded...

Just recently I had marble floor tile installed in my kitchen. I purchased HG Impregnating Floor Sealer and attempted to apply it as directed. It turned out okay for the most part however some spots near the grout lines left a visible line on the tile where the squeegee overlapped. How can I...

I have a 21x32x1 inch kitchen sink cut-out from our marble countertop that will make a nice table for our porch. We have a left-over base that we want to attach it to and it looks to be a painted cast iron material. The thickness of the marble makes it a tad high but if necessary I could...

I am trying to help my mom remodel her bathroom VERY inexpensively (she is financially strapped and trying to sell her house) so we're trying to work with the things she already has. I've seen professional refinishing services for these types of counters, but has anyone ever attmepted DIY...

Someone offered to give me the block of marble they are getting rid of from a front step, but it's too big to manage alone! Even with 3 or 4 people, it's next to impossible. It's measurements are 44" x 24" x 7", and it weighs in around 720 pounds. And Ideas on how to possibly breaking/cutting to...
