The best wet tile cutters, compared.
Top pick: Vitrex Torque Master 103402NDE – Highest score: 4.4 from 3,106 reviews, a continuous-rim blade and recirculating water, at about £59.95 for ordinary ceramic. Best value: Einhell TE-TC 18/115 Li-Solo – Best value if you already own the pack: a stated 24 mm cut at 90°, about £84.00 for the body only. Updated October 2026.
A wet tile cutter is an electric saw that cuts ceramic, porcelain or stone with a diamond blade cooled by water from a tray, a bath or a hose. You use one when a score-and-snap cutter cannot make the cut: thick porcelain, mitres, notches and around sockets. What matters is a blade matched to the tile, a fence that stays square, water on the rim, and a UK socket or a battery you already own. That price is the body only, and the listing states 24 mm at 90°. It does not make a 230 V lead safe. Choose type, blade and supply in the [wet tile cutter buying guide](/hub/cutting-tools/wet-tile-cutter/sub/wet-tile-cutter-buying-guide). A continuous rim is the usual choice for glaze. Match diameter, bore and maximum rpm, and buy the marking on the wheel: size, bore, max rpm, rotation arrow, and a wet-only pictogram if it is present.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What are you cutting?
The Vitrex Torque Master at £59.95 is a 450 W, 240 V tray saw with a 110 × 22 mm continuous-rim blade and a recirculating bath. Across 3,106 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.4, and UK buyers use it for bathroom and kitchen ceramic, including 90 × 30 cm wall tiles once the fence is set. Some also report clean porcelain with little edge chip. The plastic body, guides and mitre notches are the recurring complaint: they snap, and one buyer found a broken plastic part on unpacking. Reviewers say the frame is too light for 600 mm square porcelain, and the saw throws a fine spray if you do not mind the placement. A cutting depth is not in the specification block, and the listing does not name a BS 1363 plug even though it states 240 V.
Pros
Cons
Best for: One bathroom or kitchen on ordinary ceramic if you accept plastic guides.
Less suitable: Heavy 600 mm porcelain, or anyone who needs a stated 3-pin plug.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Vitrex Torque Master state a cutting depth?
The raw specification block does not state a cutting depth. It does state a 110 x 22 mm continuous-rim blade, 450 W, 240 V, and a table that flips to 22.5° and 45°.
How do UK reviewers describe the Vitrex fences?
Across the first 50 UK reviews, buyers praise clean domestic cuts and the price. They also report plastic guides and mitre notches that snap, and say the saw is too light for 600 mm square porcelain.
Does the listing name a UK 3-pin plug?
It states 240 V AC. It does not name the plug.
The Einhell TE-TC 18/115 Li-Solo at £84.00 is an 18 V tray saw with a 115 mm turbo disc, a water tank, and a stated cut of 24 mm at 90° and 16 mm at 45°. Across 145 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.4. UK reviewers cut porcelain, including thick porcelain, and like the lack of a mains lead once a Power X-Change pack is on the saw. The battery and charger are not in the box, so the £84 figure is the body only. A full tank soaks you, and the guard has to sit fully down or water sprays out; the drain plug leaks if it is not seated. One trade user reported motor smell, smoke, and batteries wearing out after a few weeks.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own an 18 V Power X-Change battery and charger and want a compact tray saw without a lead.
Less suitable: You expected a working kit at £84, or you cut daily on a trade bench.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this Einhell include a battery?
No. The title says without battery, and the specification says one battery is required. UK reviewers describe buying a Power X-Change pack and charger separately.
How deep does the Einhell cut?
The listing states 24 mm at 90° and 16 mm at 45°, with a 115 mm disc and a table that tilts to 45°.
What do UK reviews say about the water tank?
Reviewers say porcelain cuts can be neat. They also say a full tank soaks you, the guard must be fully down, and the drain plug can leak if it is not seated.
The Sealey TC115 at £90.99 is a 500 W, 230 V portable saw with a stated 3-pin plug, a 115 mm continuous-rim blade and a 3.5 litre reservoir. It is the only saw in this set that names a UK plug. The amazon.co.uk line is 3.2 from nine reviews, with four UK texts in the saved listing. Two of those describe a decent domestic cutter and less dust because of the water bath. The other two report a missing fence that made the saw unusable, a bent guard screw that snapped, a dripping sump plug, or a cut that would not stay straight. A cutting depth is not in the specification block.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You will only buy a compact mains saw that states a 3-pin plug, and you will inspect the fence on arrival.
Less suitable: You want a large review sample, or you need a proven bench for 600 mm porcelain.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Sealey TC115 have a UK plug?
The listing states a 3-pin plug, 230 V, and 500 W. It also states a 3.5 litre water reservoir and a 115 mm continuous-rim blade.
Which tiles does Sealey name?
The bullets name glazed ceramic, porcelain, quarry, slate, and natural stone. A cutting depth is not in the raw specification block.
What do the four UK reviews report?
Two describe a decent domestic cutter and less dust because of the water bath. Two report a missing fence, a snapped guard screw, a dripping sump plug, or a cut that would not stay straight.
The T-Mech bench saw at £289.99 is an 800 W machine with a 720 mm table, a laser guide, water cooling, a 0–45° range and a spare blade. Voltage, blade diameter, speed and weight are not in the raw specification. The amazon.co.uk line is 2.0 from four reviews. One UK reviewer cut 20 mm porcelain at 900 × 600 mm for a patio and had missing screws replaced by the seller. Another UK review says not to buy it. A French review reports play in the motor support, a wandering blade, and damage on arrival. Four reviews are not a durability test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a longer bench than a 110 mm tray and will inspect the assembly and the plug.
Less suitable: You want a confirmed UK voltage, or you treat four reviews as proof.
Specifications
Common questions
What voltage is the T-Mech bench saw?
The saved listing does not state voltage, blade diameter, speed, or weight. It does state 800 W, a 720 mm bench, a laser, water cooling, and a 0–45° range.
How many reviews does this listing have?
The listing score is 2.0 from 4 reviews. Two UK texts and one French text are in the saved listing.
Did a reviewer cut large porcelain on it?
One UK reviewer reported cutting 20 mm porcelain at 900 x 600 mm, with missing screws replaced by the seller. Another UK review says not to buy it. A French review reports a wandering blade.
The MXBAOHENG NBT-MC-110B at £99.00 is a 1,300 W handheld cutter with two 115 mm blades, a 5 m hose and a stated 30 mm depth. It is not a table saw: there is no fence in the specification, and the nozzle can be taken off for dry cutting. The listing states 220 V and does not state the plug type, so a UK 13 A socket is not confirmed. The saved listing has no review score and no review text, so there is no UK sample to weigh against the 12,000 rpm claim. The included blade is stated as suitable for tiles or stone only.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You specifically want a hose-fed handheld and will confirm the plug before you keep it.
Less suitable: You need a fenced table saw, a confirmed BS 1363 plug, or any UK review trail.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this MXBAOHENG a table saw?
No. The listing describes a corded handheld cutter with a removable water nozzle and a 5 metre hose. The nozzle can be taken off for dry cutting.
Does the listing confirm a UK plug?
It states 220 V and 1,300 W. It does not state the plug type.
Are there UK reviews in the saved listing?
No review score and no review text are in the saved listing. The included blade is stated as suitable for tiles or stone only.
Five amazon.co.uk listings were scored on a 0–100 scale from star lines, review volume, machine type, stated cut, review defects and the GBP shelf price. This is not a laboratory cut. Thin samples and missing reviews lose weight. An unstated plug on a 220 V listing, a body sold without a battery, a missing fence, and a 720 mm bench sold on four reviews are deductions. Weights sum to 100. In sentences this page says top pick and best value.
Stars and review volume
40%About 40 points. The amazon.co.uk star line and the review count both count. A 4.4 from 3,106 reviews outweighs a 4.4 from 145, and a 2.0 from four reviews is not a durability test.
Machine type, blade and stated cut
25%About 25 points. Compact tray, cordless tray, handheld hose or bench, then blade diameter and any cut height the listing actually states. A depth that is not in the specification scores as missing.
Sentiment and defects
20%About 20 points. Snapped plastic guides, spray from an overfilled tank, a missing fence, a dripping sump and a motor that smokes all reduce the score.
Price for a usable domestic saw
15%About 15 points. A lower GBP price helps only when the saw is usable for ordinary domestic tile. A dear bench with four reviews does not collect this in full.
Choose the machine type before the star count. A compact tray, a cordless tray, a handheld hose saw and a 720 mm bench do different jobs, and the amazon.co.uk prices in this set run from about £59.95 to about £289.99. Match the blade, the stated cut and the supply to the tile you already bought. A 4.4 from 3,106 reviews is a different record from 2.0 from four. Water on the rim reduces visible dust. It does not replace a stated UK plug or a battery that is actually in the box.
A wet tile cutter is an electric saw that cuts ceramic, porcelain or stone with a diamond blade. Water from a tray, a recirculating bath or a hose cools the rim. UK buyers use one when a manual score-and-snap cutter cannot make the cut: thick porcelain, mitres, notches and L-shapes around sockets. A continuous rim is the usual choice for glaze. Match diameter, bore and maximum rpm, and buy the marking on the wheel: size, bore, max rpm, rotation arrow, and a wet-only pictogram if it is present.
The Einhell TE-TC 18/115 Li-Solo is sold without a battery and without a charger. About £84.00 is the body. UK reviewers describe buying a Power X-Change pack and charger separately. A full tank soaks you if the guard is not fully down.
UK mains are 230 V with a BS 1363 plug. Sealey states 230 V and a 3-pin plug. Vitrex states 240 V and does not name the plug. MXBAOHENG states 220 V and does not state the plug. T-Mech does not state a voltage at all.
Reviewers say the Vitrex frame is too light for 600 mm square porcelain. Porcelain at 600 mm and above, or 20 mm outdoor porcelain, needs length and stiffness the £60 plastic saws do not have. Four reviews on a 720 mm bench are not a durability test.
Start with the shape of the saw, then the blade, then any cut height the listing prints. A compact tray of about 110–115 mm suits ordinary wall and floor tiles. A handheld hose-feed saw cuts in place and is harder to keep straight. A long bench or bridge saw is the tool for large-format and 20 mm porcelain. In this set that split is Vitrex and Sealey as compact trays, Einhell as a cordless tray, MXBAOHENG as a handheld with a 5 m hose, and T-Mech as an 800 W bench with a 720 mm table.
UK mains are 230 V with a BS 1363 plug. Sealey states 230 V and a 3-pin plug. Vitrex states 240 V and does not name the plug. MXBAOHENG states 220 V and does not state the plug, so a 13 A socket is not confirmed. Einhell is 18 V and sold without the battery, which means the about £84.00 price is not the cost of a saw you can switch on. T-Mech does not state voltage or blade diameter. A tray or recirculating bath keeps slurry in one place.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are tiling one bathroom or kitchen in ordinary ceramic and you can accept plastic guides. The Vitrex Torque Master at about £59.95 is 450 W and 240 V, with a continuous-rim blade and 4.4 from 3,106 reviews. It is too light for 600 mm square porcelain.
You have an 18 V Power X-Change pack and charger, and you want a compact tray saw without a lead. The Einhell TE-TC 18/115 Li-Solo at about £84.00 states 24 mm at 90°. That price is the body only.
You will only buy a compact mains saw that states a 3-pin plug, and you will inspect the fence on arrival. The Sealey TC115 at about £90.99 states 230 V and a 3-pin plug. The line is 3.2 from nine reviews.
The top pick is the Vitrex Torque Master 103402NDE at about £59.95. It has the largest review sample in this set, 4.4 from 3,106, a 110 × 22 mm continuous-rim blade and a recirculating bath, and UK reviewers use it for bathroom and kitchen ceramic. Plastic guides snap, and the frame is too light for 600 mm square porcelain. The best value is the Einhell TE-TC 18/115 Li-Solo at about £84.00 when you already own the battery: the listing states 24 mm at 90° and 16 mm at 45°. The £84 figure is the body only. The other three have no award. None of these scores is a laboratory cut.
