I have done this a lot with travertine, where you can shatter the drilled hole and fill it and it looks just like the other fill. With marble it is another story. Your main problem will be in making the patch look natural or invisible. If it is a limited area, and a very discerning customer, might be better to replace the tiles (if you can get them) Give them the choice and do not over promise. In this case there is a problem much deeper problem than the hollow tiles, requiring a crack isolation membrane and expansion joint. Making the tiles solid could make them crack when there is more movement. But then, this problem might just be due to the lack of an expansion joint. You must find out exactly where the cold joint is in the concrete to know which way to go.

I'm hoping someone may have some experience with an injectable epoxy ,that can be used to fill large voids under polished stone on an exterior balcony. I have about 10 stones that have begun to t-pee where a guest house joins up with the main house balcony ,they are not completely lifted,and matching this stone is proving to be difficult,the costumer is very particular being this is a waterfront 6 million dollar home in the Florida Keys,so if I can drill, fill and re bond them I can grind and refinish along with the rest of the existing stone

Any product suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks  Scott Wilson, Wilson Stoneworks Inc
