Using the best tools when renovating bathrooms


It's crucial for a successful renovation project to use the right tools and if possible that best ones you can find. Specially, when you are doing the tiling part of the project. Using the wrong tools or bad quality ones can create mistakes that will damage completely the look of your project. For bathrooms for example, doesn't matter how beautiful is the bath tub or the brand new sink or toilet, if the tiles aren't laid properly the project will be a disaster.

These are a few tool that I would recommend to use, they are inexpensive and a must have when working with tiles.

1. Bosch 4" angle grinder or even Ryobi are two good ones.
2. Diamond Blade - 4" - Continuous PRO from B.A.T is amazing, but if you can't afford it, make sure you buy a very good quality one.
3. Mitre Wiz, perfect to make mitre cuts for all external corners
4. Rubi Manual Tile Cutters, easy to use and good value
5.  Most trowels are pretty good, just keep in mind that the trowel size should match up to the tile size – the smaller the tile, the smaller the trowel; the larger the tile, the larger the trowel.
6. Wall spacers, there are many good ones, what you need to consider when choosing the right one is that generally it is recommended that wall spacers are 2-3mm and floor spacers 3-5mm.
