Marble tile difficulties

Post by Margeo23 »

Help!! Living in Spain with abundant use of marble tiles through the house. Original workmanship is not great, and in the main bathroom the tile installation is particularly poor, with straight-edged tiles butted together - with varying degrees of gap. I'd like to get in between the tiles and V-notch to be able to take a grout, but struggling to get an effective marble cutting tool to provide a consistent 'V'. Appreciate any suggestions.

Hi Margeo,

personally, I would run a 4in grinder with a diamond blade carefully between the joints, if your grout doesn't fill deep enough it will just crack out after a time.
