How to Fill the Holes in an Italian Marble Floor

Shipping, installation and wear can create holes in the surface of Italian marble. These blemishes can destroy the sophisticated look of the stone. You can repair holes in marble with a filler and hardening compound. Both compounds come included in marble repair kits, which you can find at home improvement stores. The compound will fill and seal the hole to remove blemishes from the surface.
