a really cheap solution is to mix distilled vinegar (2/3) and water (1/3) in a spray bottle. Spray and use paper towel to absorb. The vinegar nuetralizes the urine.

NO! Not vinegar on marble. It will etch the marble. There also is the possibility the acidity of the urine has also etched the marble.
Marble is basically compressed limestone. Any acidic cleaners will etch, dull and stain the surface, including vinegar, citrus cleaners, and lime/calcium cleaners.
If you are trying to remove an old stain, create a dense paste of more baking soda and less water. Then place the paste over the stain, allowing it to function for a few minutes. After that wipe off the baking soda paste. If it is needed you can repeat the procedure until the stain vanishes.
If the stain is persistent and is still there you can try removing it with ammonia solution. Make the area of the stain damp with 10% ammonia, diluted in water. Ammonia is knows as a base solution, so it is suitable for removing stains from marble.
The final stage of the stain removal us rinsing. Rinse the solution from your marble well to eliminate any residue, left from the cleaning ingredients on it.
I advise to use gloves when removing the stain with ammonia. They will protect your hands. Ventilate the room, in which you use ammonia for removing stains, because it is toxic.
I would rent a steam cleaner. Use a bleach-based cleaner and set the machine on Scrub. A note: I’ve found that these cleaners are not always clean when you use them, so clean the steamer before you use it. Ass a wax or other shine product if you wish, but the real shine comes from buffing the clean floor. Use a buffer machine or clean white dry cloths and lots of elbow grease. Best wishes!
