Our 20mm marble hearth stone has cracked in a fairly central position. The crack is all the way through, but weirdly is wide at the front and closed near the fire.
To properly fix this will require re-painting the 7x3m wall [we just had painted] plastering the damage we do finding the fixings holding the wooden fire surround in place. Sourcing some more green marble from India and having it cut to form three slip plates and a new hearth stone. Then pulling out and replacing all the existing stones.
So, I am a bit daunted by the whole thing.
Do I have any alternatives?
