I'd use a strong contact adhesive to fix a suitably sized piece of hardboard and fix the tiles to that. If the marble has a high gloss finish I doubt a pva base will hold anything more than a sheet of paper.

This is getting more complicated than I anticipated. I assumed RCD protection was only necessary on a bathroom, shower room or outside circuit. The pond pumps will have the plug in unit which I use now. One double socket only on each 2.5mm² branch is what I intend so as not to burden the wiring...
