<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>Can I put an epoxy flooring over travertine tiles? If not, are there any affordable way to repair or change really damage travertine tiles without taking them up?

Can they be painted ?

    You might check around in your area for companies that refinish stone floors. They'll come in and grind a paper thin layer off the top and the refinish the stone to whatever finish you like, from honed to polished. By the time they're done, your floor will look like it's brand new.

      I think you'll get best responses if you show pictures.

      Well, I'm not a pro, but those don't even look that bad to me. Is it just that the stuff they fill it with has come out?

      Have you gotten a quote from a tile expert?

      I wouldn't put epoxy over beautiful tile floors, even if was possible. In many cases, the travertine is beneficial for future home sales, whereas an epoxy indoor floor would likely not be. Secondly, depending on where you add it, would add some amount of thickness to the floor, that could prevent you from, say, sliding your dishwasher in and out; creating a height-differential in rooms you don't epoxy, and other things.

      What is the damage that bothers you?

      As Creative Ceramic points out, this is a case of a tired floor needing some love. And for stone, love means grinding the stone, filling and then sealing once again. That's another reason why STONE is highly prized. You can REFINISH it just like hardwood.


      Please do NOT try to sink this thing in cement or under epoxy or paint it. You will be lowering the value of the home by doing SERIOUS harm to the high-value floor. Travertine is considered marble and marble is HIGHLY valuable. It is SOOOOOO valuable that people pay good money to buy something that LOOKS like travertine...but is fake. That's how valuable it is.


      If you want to get rid of it, then please do your home a favour and pay the money to jack it out and start again. Covering it with 'bad' just means you will pay even MORE money to deal with a mistake that cost you 'good money'.


      It is much cheaper to refinish this stone than it is to coat it in epoxy.
