We just recently had a piece of white carrera marble installed as a tub surround that is seamed on both ends. We're not happy with the way the seams came out and are looking to see if there are other, better options for re-doing the seam.
The stone is a very white carrera, with minimal grey veining. The installer mixed up and showed us a few different colors of epoxy from solid white, to slight grey, to grey and we chose the light grey since it most closely matched the color of the stone. Unfortunately, once it was all said and done, the seam stood out quite prominently. The installer came back and tried a second color of grey epoxy, but the seams still stand out. We steered clear of the pure white since it seems to turn yellow/rust colored once dry.
Are there other options for doing the seam? Could we cut out the epoxy somehow and fill it instead with a clear, clean grout? Would that look more like the stone than a fake, plasticy looking grey epoxy? Are there crushed marble products that we could put into the seam as a filler? Any new, better products/techniques for putting a seam into a white-ish stone? Any sites/resources that have step-by-step instructions for the best way to hide a seam?
Appreciate any help you might be able to offer!
Thanks,
Matt
