I am surprised you guys use Everbuild....

Why ? never had any issues.

I've used everbuild in the past for worktops etc but found it too watery. There caulk is not bad though

 

[White Room]

Everbuild white and mapei for colour grouts..

Microseal has simply been replaced as micromax to compliment the colour matching micromax grout range, not because there was any problem with it.

Well, they've changed the White Microseal to the Micromax. Chin'd them about the Microseal & apparently, it was the same problem across the board so it's been replaced. If it does what it says on the tube, I'll b happy & at eight quid, it better lol

As Bubblecraft has said Everbuild is too watery. It doesn't fill me with any confidence, I use Dow and i wouldnt' use anything else. Everbuild Everwhite is sold in 'Grahams' plumbers merchants and as with alot of there budget products...you get what you pay for..... Merry Christmas..

I wonder if there are different types then because this is no where near what I would call watery ! Its not as "stiff" as Microban though but definately on par with the consistency of Mapei !!

 

[Brinkley]

dow or mapei for me ive used them all i find micromax good but hard to work with

When I started out 4 years ago as a plumber/bathroom fitter I used Everbuild Silicon and I've been back to a lot of these houses to do other jobs and I've noticed that the Silicon (in about 2 years) has either gone black or has come away.

So I changed to Dow about 18 months ago, it has a smoother finish and so far at home the shower tray seal is still white.

Very puzzled then due to my own bathroom and kitchen being siliconed over 3 years ago with no issues at all ?
