holes in my travertine floors

What can I do to repair the holes in my travertine floors?. THe travertine floors were installed and sealed last year. Do you sell the material to do this?
 

Dear Sandra:

And why would have holes to fill after one year??... What kind of a dog of a stone have they sold to you?

At any rate, no I don't sell stuff to fill travertine holes. You can either use color-matching unsanded grout or latex-based silicon caulking.

Knowing how to do it right would be nice, too. J

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!
