How can I repair an antique white marble top, cracked in two?

If its a clean break you need a white 2 part resin (tenax), colour match using water colour paint (in a tube)....only a tiny bit is required.....paynes grey is a good starting point as the marble won't be as white as the resin.

Once colour matched add the hardener and spread very thinly along the joint , push together and clamp if possible keeping the top level.

Gently scrape excess glue from the top and edges with a razor blade and wipe clean with a solvent on a clean cloth.

The joint will be delicate and care should be taken moving the top when fixed.....it should really be dowelled or pinned but that gets more complicated!!
