Thanks to many posters here, I've finally completed my bathroom.
It's only my second tiling job to date, the first being my en-suite. I hope it's my last though!}
So, thanks for all your helpful advice and tips.

Primarily for cutting 10mm thick (450 x 315) Ceramic wall tiles. Rather subjective I know, but the Rubi Star-50-N PLUS is looking good. Would welcome any opinion, but I'm happy to invest up to £60 in one.
Many thanks - excellent forum/advice by the way.
