Dr. Fixit Repairite

Polymer-Modified Waterproof Plaster Additive and Repair Compound for Concrete and Masonry

Authorized Project Distributor — Dr. Fixit by Pidilite | Space Arc Engineering, Ghaziabad

Product Overview

Dr. Fixit Repairite is a ready-to-use polymer-modified cementitious compound manufactured by Pidilite Industries that functions as both a waterproof plaster additive (when blended with site-mixed cement-sand mortar) and as a standalone repair mortar (mixed with cement powder alone for crack filling and surface repair). The product is based on a blend of Portland cement, graded fine aggregate, and proprietary polymer modifiers (similar in principle to SBR but in a ready-mixed dry powder format) that produce a pre-dosed, consistently mixed waterproofing compound without the need for separate liquid polymer admixtures at site. When used as a plaster additive, Dr. Fixit Repairite replaces a portion of the sand in the standard 1:4 cement-sand plaster mix, reducing water demand, improving workability, and incorporating polymer modifiers that reduce the water permeability of the finished plaster by forming a polymer-reinforced cement matrix. The resulting plaster has improved bond to substrate, reduced shrinkage cracking, and higher waterproofing performance compared to plain cement-sand plaster — suitable for external render on rain-exposed walls, wet-area internal plaster in bathrooms and kitchens, and waterproof render on retaining walls and basement external faces. When used as a repair compound (mixed with OPC cement and water to a trowel-grade consistency), Dr. Fixit Repairite is applied to fill and repair spalled concrete, honeycombed areas, chipped render, mortar joint defects, and hairline cracks in concrete and masonry. The polymer modification ensures good bond to the prepared existing substrate and flexibility to accommodate minor thermal movement without re-cracking. Space Arc Engineering supplies Dr. Fixit Repairite for plastering contractors, waterproofing applicators, and general building repair projects throughout Delhi NCR, Ghaziabad, and Uttar Pradesh.

Applications

  • Waterproof external plaster — Repairite-modified 1:4 cement-sand render on rain-exposed walls
  • Internal wet-area plaster — bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms — waterproof base for tiles or paint
  • Retaining wall external face waterproof render — polymer-modified plaster before waterproofing membrane
  • Repair of spalled, honeycombed, or damaged concrete surfaces — trowel-grade repair compound
  • Crack filling in concrete and masonry — hairline to 5 mm wide cracks — repair compound mixed with cement
  • Plaster renovation — re-rendering over failed or de-bonded existing plaster on masonry walls

Key Advantages

  • Dual-function — works as plaster additive and standalone repair compound from one product
  • Pre-dosed polymer — consistent polymer content in every bag without site-mixed liquid admixture
  • Improved waterproofing over plain cement-sand plaster — lower water permeability, reduced absorption
  • Better bond to substrate — polymer modification improves adhesion for repair and plaster applications
  • Reduced shrinkage cracking — flexible polymer matrix accommodates minor thermal movement
  • Convenient ready-to-use format — no separate polymer admixture procurement or dosing at site

Frequently Asked Questions

When should a contractor use Dr. Fixit Repairite as a plaster additive versus as a repair mortar, and what mix proportions are recommended for each application?

Dr. Fixit Repairite is a versatile product used in two distinct applications with different mix designs and purposes. Understanding when to use each mode helps contractors optimize material usage and performance. Plaster additive mode is appropriate when the contractor is applying a waterproof plaster (render) to a large wall area — external walls, retaining walls, basement walls, or wet-area internal walls — using conventional site-mixed cement and sand. In this mode, Dr. Fixit Repairite is used to replace a portion of the sand in the standard mix, incorporating its polymer modifiers into every batch without separate liquid SBR admixture. Recommended plaster additive mix proportion: 1 bag Dr. Fixit Repairite (25 kg) mixed with 3 bags OPC cement (75 kg) and 12 bags clean river sand (300 kg). This produces a modified 1:4 cement-sand equivalent plaster with polymer modification included. The resulting plaster has 40 to 60 percent lower water absorption than standard 1:4 cement-sand plaster and substantially improved bond to brick and concrete substrates. Two coats at 10 to 12 mm each coat are applied to the wall with a float, with the first coat scratched before the second coat is applied. Repair compound mode is appropriate when the contractor is repairing localized defects — spalled concrete, honeycombed areas, chipped plaster, or cracks — where a trowel-grade high-bond repair mortar is needed rather than a full wall plaster. Recommended repair mortar mix proportion: 1 part Dr. Fixit Repairite to 1 part OPC cement (by volume), mixed with clean water to a stiff trowel-able consistency (water-powder ratio approximately 0.25 to 0.30). Apply in layers not exceeding 20 mm depth per application to repair defects, ensuring the substrate is saturated surface dry and primed with cement slurry before repair mortar application.
