Repairing cracks or chipped Italian Marble

Hi folks,

I had used Dyna Italian Marble on staircase and it has chipped off at 3 places and cracked 1.
Is there anyway to fix this rather than replacing ?

Laying people say, they can fix it using something called "Tenax"

Any experiences ?

Thanks

Hi Rituraj
Italian marble by default comes with many hairline cracks ,they use tenax (kind of epoxy) to fill the gaps and polish it .Its a very common practice in Italian marble.Just make sure that they match the color to perfect .u can use 2 color mix to give a natural look.
Tenax can be used as filler but don't relay on it as gum to fix the edges of the stair since it may give away soon or later .
