Cracks and chips in new Thassos floor

Dear Maurizio, Our plumber decided to drop some tools on our new Thassos White marble floor. Now, there are cracks, dents and chips. Is there a way to repair it without discoloring the Thassos Marble? Thank you for your wonderful expertise!
 

Dear Gabriela:

Don't waste time trying different restoration approaches. Under the circumstances, replacement of the damaged tiles is the only sensible option.

Your plumber does carry liability insurance, doesn't he?...

Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is – as it should be intuitive – vastly more important than its sealing (if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about routine care from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic! By logging into the Helpful Hints section of our website at:   http://www.mbstone.com/HH_promo/helpful_hints.htm , you will be able to get the short version of our maintenance guidelines at no charge. The full version of it – a 7-page document considered by many as an industry benchmark – is available in pay-per-download format in our Educational Literature section at:   http://www.mbstone.com/literature/literature.htm .  

And remember, every single penny of the cost of the literature will be used to support this site and its cause: your cause.

While you are in the “Helpful Hints” section, do spend some time reading all of the interesting FREE articles you'll find in there!

Finally, keep in mind that we need your support to help us helping you!
