There are different types of trowels for plastering. You have a general plastering trowel and a finishing trowel which are the common types of trowels. For a DIY purpose I would go for a novipro trowels which range from £6-£10 which you can pick up from Screwfix or the more industrial every day user are the marshalltown trowels which are more expensive but more forgiving and they range from £40 -£60 either from Screwfix or jewsons.

I use the MARSHALLTOWN MPB165D PERMASHAPE BROKEN-IN FINISHING TROWEL 16" It’s brilliant because it is already broken in. It doesn’t have any pointy corners. But saying this you will still have to us a oil stone to sharpen your trowel to the way you prefer.
