It's hard enough choosing tiles from the myriad available, but what about
the adhesives, tools, etc?
What's the best waterproof tile adhesive to go for? Grout? Adhesive for
wooden floors? Tiling tools? Where's best to get them from? Topps Tiles
seems good for tiles, but do they make their profits from all the associated
sundries? Some of their tools look pricey.

Don't be daft what associated tools? A plastic spreader and a bath
sponge?

A proper metal toothed trowel is much much better than a little plastic
cpreader, so much easier to use.

A tile cutter of some sort?

Or do you mean a spirit level and a diamond table saw? What exactly are
you setting up?

Actually a electric tile cutter is great for tiling if you are going to
have many fiddly cuts to do.
