Often the natural veining in marble floor tiles proves to be a weak point that can crack and crumble leaving small holes in the tile along a vein. What is the best product with which to fill these holes and hopefully prevent the weakness extending further?

Cheers

They should not be cracking after they are installed if the subfloor was built to properly support the marble tile installation. There are resins that can be put into those cracks but it is best done by a professional stone refinisher. They have the know how, the touch and the proper equipment, all 3 are needed to have the job come out right.
