Hi there, I have been asked to make a repair on some Limestone flooring, that has been damaged and has 3 or 4 holes in the surface. I have been advised I can use offcuts of tiles and grind them up and add into a resin but I'm not sure what products I need and how to finish off the surface...

Hi,

Hi there, could really do with help/advice about filling in those little holes (up to 5mm deep) that you end up with when old tiles are taken off the bathroom wall surrounding the bath and you don't have time to skim as my friend wants it done in a day/2 days.
