About Tile Tool Sets

Tile tool sets provide tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts with comprehensive collections of essential tiling equipment in convenient, ready-to-use packages. These professionally curated kits contain multiple specialist tools designed for specific stages of tile installation, grouting, cleaning and finishing work. From starter kits for those new to tiling through to professional washing and re-grouting systems, MyToolShed.co.uk stocks tile tool sets from trusted brands including Vitrex, Rubi and Faithfull.

Rather than purchasing individual tiling tools separately, these sets offer excellent value by bundling complementary items together. Whether you need spreaders and squeegees for adhesive application, grout removal and finishing tools, or complete tile levelling systems, tile tool sets ensure you have the right equipment to hand for professional results. Many kits include storage cases or organisers to keep tools protected between jobs.

Choosing The Right Tile Tool Sets

Brand reputation: Vitrex dominates the tile tool market with comprehensive kits for different skill levels. Rubi offers professional-grade levelling systems, whilst Faithfull provides reliable finishing tools. Choose brands known for durability if tools will see frequent use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a typical tiling starter kit?

Most starter kits contain essential items like a notched adhesive spreader, grout float, tile spacers, sponge and bucket. These provide everything needed for straightforward wall or floor tiling projects, making them ideal for DIY users or those new to tiling work.

Do I need different tools for wall tiles versus floor tiles?

The core tools remain similar, though floor tiling often benefits from tile levelling systems (especially for large-format tiles) to ensure perfectly flat surfaces. Wall tiling may require suction cups or support systems for larger tiles. MyToolShed stocks sets suitable for both applications.

Can tile tool sets be used for both ceramic and porcelain tiles?

Yes, the application and finishing tools in these sets work with ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles. However, cutting tools are sold separately as different tile materials require specific cutting equipment.
