My kitchen/family room has a honed and filled Travertine floor 40sqm with 40 x 60 tiles and wet ufh

I have 4 tiles which have had small holes appear, max 10mm dia. The hole are just in the surface and not full depth.
Other than Re filling with grout are there any other products?
I do still have a few spare tiles so was thinking of maybe grinding a load of dust of one and setting it with some sort of bonding agent?

I have used colorfill on a floor I had once, although there are specialist products that can be bought for around £15.

I use jolly epoxy stone filler (straw or light straw colour depending on colour). Very similar to Tenax. Got a trav hole filling job later in the week as it happens

Daft but when I laid this floor 5 years ago I didn’t consider the need to fill holes later on lol
I’ll probably give a full clean at same time as 3 little kids are leaving there marks on it.

It’s probably due to ufh popping fillers from floor.
Stone and fillers expand and contract at different rates, sometimes causing fillers to come away.

I wonder if the picobello tile repair kit might be suitable for this, as its only a small application..

I have that kit. It would probably do it but the fillers you get are very small.
Got the same kit, I think you can just order individual colour blocks though..I'm presuming anyway as they have codes on the blocks
