Hi
Apoloigies if this questoin has already come through (2nd time of trying). I have got hold of some marble tiles (24"x 12" and 3/4" thick) to tile our new kitchen. The problem is the tiles are not designed, I think, for this type of use. They are bascially external marble as what I assume is the finished side is very rough to allow for good grip.
What I was hoping to do was to use the other side which is smoother but has a lot of blade marks in it from when it was cut. Does anyone have any advice as to what to use to grind and polish this down to a smoother finish. I think you can get diamond grinders with different grades and then finish off with a polish. Is this correct and if so can they be hired. Or is it a very specialised job that I need to get someone in to do. Any ideas how much this would cost. The floor is about 50m2. The tiles will be going down on to a new screed.
Would people agree that this is at least do-able?
Any advice greatly received.
