It is compulsory to clean the sub floor properly and also make sure that installation area is even from all places. It is very important to check the even surface of the installation area if the floor is not even and not properly clean then marble will not grip on the floor tightly. Besides that there may be some vacuum under surface which can cause marble cracks quicker then common pressure. So it is very important to give proper attention on this step otherwise you will reinstall it again.
Cheap quality grouts are another big reason of cracked marble. If you do not use good quality grout just to save some money then your marble floor lose its strength and get damaged. In such type of situation what you do, you usually go and buy some new piece of marble which do not match with original marble.
When such type of problem occurs, you have to fix them by yourself or you should call a professional agency to do so. If you are willing to do it by yourself then you have to gather important materials such as marbles, tar paper, good grout and chisel.
