How do I cut travertine back splash that is already adhered to wall?

Sherrie on Nov 19, 2013AS MUCH AS IT COSTS I WOULD ASK HIM TO REPLACE IT. For some reason using a IPad it comes out as a scream. But anyway he should replace that piece. Or I would chip it out and recut it to fix it. IT Should look professional if he does this for a living he should know better thanks leave sloppy work. I installed my back slash in the kitchen and it's not that hard to do it right. Why mess it up if you paid someone to do a finish product?Helpful Reply

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Nov 19, 2013You cannot cut granite without a diamond bit blade and a lot of strength and time. You cannot cut that without taking it down too. Like Sherrie said you need the contractor to do it. Good luckHelpful Reply

Spheramid Enterprises on Nov 20, 2013Sure you can, it's travertine and not the granite you are cutting, so use one of the many "multi-tools" and the diamond blade. Rockwell, Fein, Dremel, Makita, Bosch, even harbor freight ...30 seconds tops.Helpful Reply

Brittany C. on Nov 20, 2013I can't believe this. As soon as I post this...after waiting 2 weeks, I heard back from the contractor about 10 minutes ago. Weird. Anyway, he's coming back on Wednesday! Woohoo!Helpful Reply

Sherrie on Nov 20, 2013We use a tile saw to make our cuts. It has a special blade and water. These are cheap to rent I don't know who you purchased your granite from but I would call the company and ask for a recommendation. It shouldn't cost a whole lot but unless you are certain how to tile I would use a professional. Or rent a saw if you have any left overs you will need to break it out and remake it.Helpful Reply
