StonePro Traverfill - Travertine Repair - Fills Smalls pits, Holes & voids in Travertine & Limestone (Dark 3 lb)

This seems to be a good mini grout meaning it has a very fine particulate matrix that would fill in holes. I think you could probably achieve the same thing with a belt sander, but if your base does not accommodate that, this serves as a base and fills in the holes. It works very well on a table top that had.travertine on it. however, if you’re looking for a big huge holes, read the details on this as that’s not what you need .

This Traverfill made filling travertine pits as easy as filling nail holes with spackling. The light color works well on my travertine. It is costly but I saw no alternative that costs less. I used a cut-up credit card to apply it to small pits and holes, as a substitute for a plastic putty knife that worked very well. I also used it to stir water into the dry powder, and this was easy.

This was easy to mix, easy to spread, easy to clean. My one dislike is it does not dry to a uniform color everywhere it is used, from the same batch. The deeper the crevice, the closer it dries to the light tan color, however, if it's a very shallow spot that just needs a bit of a skim, it dries chalky white. It was weird how different colors came from the same batch mixed. I would not trust this on a solid color but the tile I have is a mix of creams, tans, a few darker gray areas so this worked well and blended well. Just not perfect/uniform coloration so have to give a 4 star rating.

As you can see, it really doesn't change the color of the light/ivory Travertine tiles at all. The stack on the left are the tiles with Traverfill and the stack on the right are the ones I didn't need to fill - thank the goddesses! This is a lot of work if you get holy, darn near fossilized tiles. Some of them are horrendously holy. You can see the color of the Traverfill on the tiles laying out on the table drying. The dark spots are the Traverfill. It dries almost white, but looks good on the light/ivory tiles. I have to say, this stuff does amazing things to hole-filled tiles. Makes them smooth as butter! My favorite, extremely expensive tools are: a popsicle stick, a scoop from Vitamin C powder and an eye dropper. 👍 The popsicle stick is perfect for mixing the Traverfill and water on the tile and spreading it out and then squeegeeing with the edge of the stick to do a skim coat. The perfect squeegee! Works great. The scoop works great for getting the perfect amount of Traverfill on the tiles and the eyedropper adds just the right amount of water. Those three tools cost me nothing. I worked 10 hours today and got only 18 sq ft out of 35 sq ft filled. It's slow going, so set aside a weekend to do this. More time if you have more than 35 sq ft. I used about half of my 1 lb jar, so ordered a 3 lb tub today so I can finish this this weekend. This is good stuff if you have holy Travertine like I do? Worth every penny, IMO.

This is my third round with this product. It works just great. I have a 25 year old Travertine floor that #1 requires routine maintenance and repairs. This works perfectly and simply for spot repairs. It can handle holes from the size of a pencil point to those as big as a quarter it's all in how you handle the viscosity of the product when you mix it with water. #2 a large tree formerly in my front yard managed to push its roots under the foundation slab's corner lifting it up and producing a crack in the Travertine floor that went the entire length of the house. Rather than try to fill the entire crack I purchased both the light and dark versions of the Traverfill and did some mixing, matching and blending after some practice and it thoroughly camouflaged the crack. I can still "see" the crack because I've been living with it and working with it. However, when I point it out to visitors I have to practically get them on hands-and-knees to find it. I went to a big box flooring company and bought a couple of Travertine tiles to practice on for a day and eventually, as the job went on, I got better at it. There are quite a few videos on-line that show the tools needed (not much) and the product in use that are very helpful. Still, there is no substitute for experience. Start out small in inconspicuous spots. Remember, the repair is NOT do-or-die. As you get better at it you may be compelled to go back and re-do an earlier fix. No problem. You can dig out the first repair with a pick or a dremel and try again. BTW, make sure you have something to cushion your knees. Travertine is a soft stone but your knees can't tell...ouch. The improvement in the look of your Travertine floor is very rewarding. Enjoy!

For the price the tub was a bit on the small side

I wasn't sure how this would work, but I must say I'm impressed. It filled the holes in our travertine and cleaned up really well. This was a simple product to use and as mentioned, really easy to clean up. Once it sets, the excess scrapes off cleanly and can be vacuumed up or wiped with a sponge. I sprayed sealer on top to help protect it and so far, no one can tell where I had holes in the travertine floor. Nice job Traverfill!

Nowhere on the description does it say you can’t apply a sealer. Well, travertine should be sealed for longevity. All the holes I filled now are white, whereas everything else looks great. Will be pressure washing this out and apply a grout instead. Garbage product!!!

This was very easy to use and made a huge difference in the look of our travertine. It fills in those little holes that you can’t possibly clean.

Have used epoxy type fillers with success in my travertine floor, this looked a much easier fix- which it is, but doesn’t last long, filler soon comes out of the holes

Gotta walk on eggshells when using this stuff because it does not stay in. It is also easily soiled. Perhaps I'm doing incorrectly ?I followed ALL instructions on my second bottle purchase.

Very good product
