EVO-STIK Plumber's Mait, Non-Setting Putty for Sanitary Joints, Waterproof, 750g

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.

This came in really handy when fitting new bathroom helped to seal all pipes and is very flexible and easy to work with

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.

Absolutely perfect. So easy to use, and not at all messy. I used on a downpipe connection on a low level toilet cistern that I replaced and was slowly seeping water, using plumbers mait fixed it in seconds. Really pleased with ease of application and end result.

I left school 40 years ago and started working for a plumber. He used this, or similar, on all his joints for central heating (rads etc). I didn't remain in the trade, but now I find myself with enough experience to do my own plumbing work (within reason) and this remains an essential part of the process, especially for removing and replacing radiators and keeping them watertight.

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 used this in a sink unit that has a full bowl & a half bowl. When fitting the full bowl silver drain to the sink i used a ring of paste the thickness of my little pinky…it was too much & squeezed out the edge. The excess does come off using more MAIT to dab it & finish off with washing up liquid to get a brilliant leak free smart finish. When i fitted the half bowl silver drain i used half the thickness of my little pinky of PLUMBERS MAIT, none squeezed out and a very easy positive experience to get a leak free professional job! Enough in the pot to last years!

Good fast delivery Good product does the job well cheers

Great product, Must-have in the house!

This review is for Plumber's Mait® 1.5kg 456105 As everyone knows by now, those seals under vintage antique porcelain pedestal sinks, enameled tubs and shower trays with new rubber seals to the drains are going to leak without plumbers putty that never hardens or cracks or dries out. Drips or tiny leaks rust your basins and trays right through and we all know what it costs to replace them, if they can be replaced, and most are likely out of manufacture. Besides the labor and expense, small leaks cause permanent damage over time to floors and walls. Consider plumbers putty preventative maintenance. Not everything precious or irreplaceable from yesteryear was manufactured with CNC to high tolerances to prevent drips. Yes, I have to use it often when new rubber seals should have been sufficient. Highly recommended.

This makes the sealing job 100x easier and faster. No drying time like silicons. No mess like silicons. No Clean Up like silicons. Mate, should have got this donkey yrs ago!

It’s OK

Used the Plumbers Mait to fix a problem of water leaking from kitchen sink. Saved money by not needed a Plummer to make needed repairs.
