How to restore the travertine tile?
I have a travertine tile on the floor.
The steel door stoper scrach the travertine tile and make a small hole on the surface of the tile. How can I fill the small hole and remove the scrach from the travertine? What kind of material can I use?

You really need to replace the tile. Hopefully you have an extra one. If you have another then break the damaged tile out and carefilly rewove the grout, being carefull not to chip the surrounding tiles.
Then glue the new tile in with mastik and re-grout.
Also you will need to pickup the door a bit so it doesn’t happen again.
It really is a job best left to the pros though.

I would use a two-part epoxy, the kind that you get in a syringe at Home Depot. Mix up a small amount, and fill the hole FLUSH to the surface. Keep the repair tidy and isolated to the damaged area. When it hardens, it will be as hard as a rock, and clear.
