EVO-STIK Plumber's Mait

I recently had the chance to use EVO-STIK Plumber’s Mait, and it has proven to be an invaluable addition to my toolkit. This non-setting putty is specifically designed for plumbing applications, and it performs exceptionally well in various scenarios. Pros: 1. Non-Setting Formula: The putty remains pliable and doesn’t harden over time, which is perfect for applications that might require future adjustments or maintenance. This feature ensures a long-lasting seal without the worry of the putty becoming brittle. 2. Versatility: It works effectively on a variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, and ceramics. I’ve used it for sealing around sinks, bathtubs, and pipes with great results. 3. Ease of Use: The putty is easy to apply and mold into the desired shape. It adheres well to surfaces, ensuring a watertight seal, and requires no special tools for application. 4. Durability: Despite its non-setting nature, it provides a robust and reliable seal that withstands water pressure and temperature changes, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor plumbing tasks. Cons: 1. Residue: Because it doesn’t harden, it can leave a bit of residue if it comes into contact with other surfaces. Care is needed during application to avoid mess. 2. Appearance: The putty remains visible and doesn’t blend in with surrounding materials. This isn’t a major issue for hidden plumbing work but could be a drawback for visible areas. Overall, EVO-STIK Plumber’s Mait is a highly effective product for any plumbing job requiring a non-setting sealant. Its ease of use, versatility, and durability make it a reliable choice for both professional plumbers and DIY enthusiasts. While it does have some minor drawbacks, the benefits it offers far outweigh them, making it a must-have for plumbing maintenance and repairs.

I ordered this putty because I had a leak from my kitchen sink. It’s very easy to apply and it’s still going strong a week later. It’s a fantastic product and I highly recommend it! I would advise to wear disposable gloves as it’s hard to wash off of your fingers and it’s not a good idea to wash it down a sink as it will clog it up. I also used it around the bottom of the toilet to stop a water leak.

I recently had to remove a toilet to put some new flooring in, when I came to refitting the pan there was a gap between it and the waste pipe which as well as leaving me with a small river of toilet water was also emitting a smell like a squirrel had parked itself in the toilet to die. I knew I needed some Plumbers Mait to sort but alas the local DIY Chain did not have it in stick and I didn't fancy a 12 mile trip to the next store so picked some of this up on Amazon. The Good - It's super easy to stick into any gaps, splodge a couple of finger fulls onto the offending part and rub it all over. It doesn't leave a massive amount of residue on your hands and what is left is easy to clean off. Once in place it's just a super little fix. It feels like a cheat it's so good. I popped some onto the pan and pipe, joined them up and that was that. Job done. River halted, smell dissapated. Happy toilet times. The could be better - The lid for the tub could have a slightly better seal, when I came to use it again for another job the tub had gone off a little making it less easy to apply. It could well have been me not really putting the lid back on too so it's not a major issue and it's still effective. Overall this is a Plumbing essential and for its many different applications it's really worth having a tub on hand rather than waiting for a leak or issue. Buy a pot, it really is your mate! Recommended. Four Stars.

I've used this for everything except plumbing related jobs. Excellent for plugging gaps and keeping bees out of the loft as well as making a flexible rain proof filler between lintel and window where mastic had failed. No end to it's uses!

Great product, good value and service. Will use this supplier again. However I would like to comment on the Amazon delivery. It was a smallish cardboard box, and the delivery person put it in with my cardboard recycling. It was on the day that the recycling was being collected. Fortunately the refuse man spotted it and gave it to me. Admittedly a photo of where it was had been emailed to me, but I had not seen it at that time. A bit of a silly place really, especially as it would actually have fitted in my post box.

Very good for things like toilet wastes

It's generally a good product, doesnt set, so easy to remove. unfortunately the item I received wasn't sealed and clearly someone had stuck their fingers in it!

I love this stuff. It is brilliant. It dries quick. It’s smooth. I’m not a big DIY but the holes in the house have been filled in and you cannot tell that they were even there. This is great if you’re not that great at DIY.
