Dr Fixit vs Asian Paints Waterproofing: Which Is Better for Jaipur Homes?

We're not tied to either brand exclusively, so here is a straight, independent comparison based on how each system actually performs on Jaipur terraces, bathrooms and basements.

What Actually Matters More Than the Brand

In our experience applying both systems across Jaipur, the brand matters less than the quality of these three steps:

Surface cleaning, wire-brush scrubbing followed by high-pressure washing before any coat goes on. Coating over dust or loose debris is the single biggest cause of early failure, regardless of brand.
Crack filling, cracks need to be properly packed with crack-seal paste pressed into the gap, not just skimmed over.
Coat sequencing and drying time, skipping the 4-6 hour drying gap between coats to finish faster is a common shortcut that shows up as failure within a year or two.

The Warranty Detail Most Contractors Won't Tell You

Across both brands, the manufacturer's warranty covers the product/material, not the quality of how it was applied. If the coating fails because of poor workmanship rather than a product defect, the manufacturer's warranty typically will not cover it. The workmanship warranty has to come from whoever actually did the application.

We give our own written workmanship warranty on every job, on top of whichever product's warranty applies, specifically because this gap exists.

FAQ

Is Dr Fixit or Asian Paints SmartCare better for terrace waterproofing?

Both are established, widely used systems in Jaipur and perform comparably when applied correctly with proper surface preparation. The bigger factor in outcome is usually the quality of application, cleaning, crack filling, and correct coat sequencing, rather than the brand itself.

Does the manufacturer or the contractor give the waterproofing warranty?

The manufacturer typically warranties the product/material itself. The workmanship warranty, covering how well the product was actually applied, comes from the contractor, not the brand. Always confirm who is responsible before signing off on a job.

Where can I find a Dr Fixit dealer or distributor in Jaipur?

Dr Fixit products are available through authorized dealers and distributors across Jaipur. As applicators who work with multiple brands, we can source genuine Dr Fixit material directly as part of the job, so you do not need to separately locate a dealer.
