Sealing polished marble floor tiles

Post by donmaico »

Hello i was just wondering whether i should consider doing this to a newly laid bathroom floor.Bathroom fitter used some Wickes polished marble tiles we bought and on the packet it suggested using their natural stone sealer, but the fitter did not think it was necessary as they had been polished.He reckoned the sealant would just sit on top.
When i spoke to Wickes they told me the same so I am a bit of a quandary., in fact they suggested the sealant my dull the tiles.Can anyone please enlighten me and if I need to seal then could you please recommend a make .Thanks

I do have a product called rapid all-in-1 which I used on some crackled kitchen tiles.Its solvent based but although it does mention its use on marble, it makes no mention of polished marble
