This may be a stupid question, but I’m going to have my bathroom redone. Floor and shower are currently fantasy ivory marble 12x12 squares. Shower tile needs to go! But I don’t mind the marble floor and there’s nothin wrong with it- but no way to keep it right now because you can’t match 15 year old marble and the plan will damage some of it/require more that the 10 extras I have from original is tall.

Is it reasonable (cost wise) and even possible to try to “save” the shower tiles that will be removed to use them so I can keep the floor? Keep in mind I have a sunk cost from the marble in the first place eve though that was 15 years ago. Would that just end up being equally/more expensive than just replacing the floor (labor wise)? It’s a 17 x 11 bathroom (obviously shower, tub, and vanities use up some of that floor space). Trying to figure out the best way to go from a cost standpoint. Thanks in advance for your input.
