One idea is to float the floor with grout where the lippage is bad or do the whole floor. This prevents chipping. I think the stone is Bafq Light Pink from Iran. I would charge more than Greg just because he is independently wealthy and does not need the money. Good luck.<br>

<div> </div>
<div>I am working up an estimate to hone &amp; polish a 17&#39;x22&#39; den with 12&quot;x12&quot; marble tiles that the customer wants completed with a high polished finish. Its basic color is rose/pink, as I&#39;m not sure of its origin or name and neither is the customer (see attached photos).  She said it came from Home Depot and her contractor son had it installed about 5 years ago.  Thanks if you&#39;re able to educate me on its origin.  I&#39;m seeking advice on how to handle the several tiles that have lippage greater than or equal to the thickness of a penny.  It doesn&#39;t bother the customer at all since she&#39;s lived with it all this time.  I&#39;d like to know if it is wise try and remove/not to remove the lippage, if so how would you go about it, as well as how much additional cost could it add and/or if it will polish out just fine without removal since the customer is OK with it.  As always, any and all advice would be appreciated.</div>
