    Where is the crack located? Can you post a photo? Repairs are different depending where the crack is and type of crack.

    Epoxy is a liquid plastic that dries hard. A deep crack needs to be filled with a product that can hold the weight of the marble. Epoxy comes in 2 parts which you will mix in a plastic bowl using a spoon. You will have to work quickly to avoid it setting. Pour the epoxy in the crack until it is slightly overflowing, but do not wipe it off. Wait for the epoxy to cure then sand it down until flush with the surface. Use a tack cloth to clean up the mess.

    Honestly, I can't see a repair holding in that location with the weight of water and a person.

      I could be wrong though...but I'm not to sure that I would take the risk, due to bigger issues if it lets go. Good luck! If you do it and it works, let us know.
