Absolutely spot on answers!

Do you guys dothe re-levelling of the walls yourselves or get somebody else?

Also, has anybody tried the rubi tx700n manual cutter?

And what other tiling tools would you recommend for starter (I’ve been told about a tiletracker)

Thanks!

Dot and dabbing plasterboard is easy after a bit of practice, get yourself a decent set of levels from 600-1800 long and a plasterers feather edge.

Invest in a good set of notched stainless trowels of different sizes, I use the Genesis set, covers all bases.

I have a Rubi ts66 I use for all my ceramics it’s many years old and really reliable although I need to upgrade really.

Get a variable speed grinder, and invest in quality blades, or buy one of those £30 wet saws and put a decent diamond blade in it.

I had a rubi tx700 but sold it ( to somebody who didn't know any better ) and got a sigma 3c3m (720 long cutter ) and would not go back to a tx again .
