I thought i would put this in the guest area so everybody could see this.
I was called out to do a repair on a damaged travertine tile on a kitchen floor. This floor was laid a year ago,and two hole appeared in one of the tiles. You can see black marks in the photo, they called the tiler back to replace it.
He said he could repair the hole, so he filled it with silicone :mad2: this is totally the wrong thing to repair natural stone with. You can see in the photo once the tile was removed the white on the floor where the silicone was squirted into the hole...Once i carefully remove the tile with the Fein Multimaster without damaging any other tiles i found the tiles had been Dot & Dabbed, you can see in the photo the grey adhesive dotted on the back of the tiles...also he used grey adhesive. This is not the correct way to lay tiles, and white flexible tile adhesive should have been used with natural stone..
As you can see in the photo i used white adhesive and did a solid bed of adhesive onto the floor, and also adhesive was applied onto the back of the tiles to fill and holes in the back of the tile. Once laid it was grouted and i had a very happy customer.
