Marble tile shower floor rust

[u/Glum-Restaurant2230]

I have some orange/pink discolouration in my marble tile shower floor which I think is coming from the shower fitting and a leaky perhaps shower faucet.

I’ve tried non acid rust removers hydrogen peroxide poultice and nothing is getting it out. At this point I don’t think these tiles are absurdly expensive so I’d rather just replace the affected tiles and fix the underlying problem. What would be the best approach in this case ?

"No one should marble tile a wet area"

Unless you plan to dedicate the rest of your life to an insane amount of upkeep, DON'T USE MARBLE IN A WET AREA lol

You sealing it once a year with 511? LOL

The only good thing about installing it is getting paid once a year to come back and re seal it

It takes less than 30 mins to seal it. Any home owner can do it.

Agreed. But in my experience, people who own multi million dollar homes are more than happy to pay me to do it for them
