Marble 101: How to care for and repair your marble tiles


Natural stones are present in almost every home that has been built to be modern and efficient. Whether it be in the form of decor or tiles and slabs, marble has been the leading natural stone in all spectrums. As a favourite of all in the construction industry and even clients, in Melbourne, Carrara Marble is generally used for the construction of kitchen countertops and other working surfaces. However, as a soft stone, marble is more likely to get scratched and cracked in the eye of a workplace. In order to prevent this or correct this, a list of measurements can be taken.

➢ While cleaning the stone, it’s important to remember that no harsh chemicals should be used on it. Generally, sealing the stone helps, but to avoid any accidents, a natural, light soap mixed with water can help clean your marble flooring to look completely new. Vinegar should never be used on marble. During spills, immediate action should be taken in order to prevent any stains from covering your tile.
➢ To keep your marble slab looking fresh and new, a polishing could help remove the roughness that forms on the exterior of the stone. This can help give it its lost luminance again.
➢ For repairs, scratches and cracks require different fixes. Minor scratches can be repaired with the help of a fine sandpaper or gel gloss. When it comes to sandpaper, it’s important to choose the right grit or else you might end up creating more scratches than you started with. To finish, apply a marble polish to protect it. Cracks can be repaired with the help of a special marble repair adhesive or with the help of epoxy. Any remnants of the cracked marble can be mixed with the epoxy in order to create a seamless repair. However, it’s best to get it fixed by a professional.
