What tools needed to tile a wet room in marble?

I'm about to start tiling our new ensuite in 400X400X12 marble tiles, 26 square meter in total. After this I'lll have another 2 bathrooms to do which are quite a bit bigger plus a kitchen.
I want to get everything I need to do a pro quality job now as opposed to start and find I need X, Y and Z later on.
So far I'm thinking I'll need:
Decent tile saw, I've shortlisted a rubi DW 200 LP
Mixing whisk and bucket
Tile sucker for moving and positioning, especially If I make a mistake.
Rubber mallet
bucket trowl
notched trowel
wash boy for grouting
grouting float
Thats about as fa as I've got so far, any advice or input would be greatly appreciated :thumbright:

Add good quality knee pads to your list. And stabila levels. Wouldn't bother with the washboy, does nothing a bucket and rounded sponge won't do. The £50 you'll save on that will buy your levels and pads.

Thanks all the gear. I've got some pads but will invest in some stabila levels.

Anyone used a vitrex power pro saw? I know it won't be as well made as the rubi but given the saving thought it was worth a look???
