Travertine tiles with lots of holes... - Tile Advice

[kariny]

Hi- I have a kitchen floor where the travertine has developed lots of holes. I need some one local ( Durham) who can clean , & fill the holes & polish the flooring

Anyone recommend any one?

Thanks

Lovely Dave, did you just clean the grout joints or use grout colourant?

Full clean / re-grout and re-seal...

Nice one, looks like new.
Did you just use grout or any filler in the deeper holes??

Just grout , it was unfilled tumbled stone with slight pillowing... previous tilers didn;t grout it fully.

Hi dave saw this and I want to do the same thing for my nan and grandads kitchen floor, my grandad laid it when they moved in (before I was a tiler) and I believe they are a the same tile except for the shape? What I want to know is did you remove any grout from the holes in the travertine? If so how, if not did you just grout over the holes that were filled/part filled with the old grout? I would really like to do this foot them as my grandad knees are not great
