How the EKOPEL Pouring Technique Works

See how you can resurface your shower tray with EKOPEL 2K Classic, Optimum, or Gold using the proven pouring technique in just a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

All EKOPEL 2K materials are specially formulated for resurfacing old bathtubs and are applied using a pouring technique. They create a smooth, thick, and durable surface with excellent adhesion.

EKOPEL 2K Classic cures in approximately 48 hours and is particularly suitable for DIY enthusiasts thanks to its longer working time.

EKOPEL 2K Optimum cures in about 24 hours and is perfect when the bathtub needs to be back in use more quickly.

EKOPEL 2K Gold also cures within around 24 hours and provides enhanced UV protection. If your bathroom has a window or the bathtub is exposed to sunlight, we recommend EKOPEL 2K Gold.

EKOPEL 2K is applied using a pouring method. The material flows evenly over the surface, creating an extra thick, smooth, and glossy coating.

EKOPEL Roll-On is applied in two layers using a roller. It is especially suitable when the drain cannot be removed or when an easier roller application is preferred. Roll-On can also be used on wall and floor tiles.

EKOPEL 2K is suitable for steel, cast iron, ceramic, fiberglass, and previously coated bathtubs.

For acrylic bathtubs, use is only recommended if the walls are stable and not flexible. If the surface moves or gives when pressed, we do not advise application.

For a standard bathtub up to 170 × 80 cm, you will need an EKOPEL 2K set with 2.4 L.

For larger bathtubs, we recommend an additional 1.2 L set.

For shower trays up to 90 × 90 cm, a 1.2 L set is usually sufficient. For larger shower areas, we suggest a 2.4 L set.

The EKOPEL 2K set already includes the main material and essential accessories.

In addition, you will need masking tape, protective sheeting or paper for the floor, a hairdryer or heat gun, a container with a capacity of about 400-500 ml, tools for removing or opening the drain, a knife or cutter, cleaning cloths, and a solvent for cleaning tools.

We also recommend wearing clothing that can get dirty.

Before application, the bathroom should be thoroughly cleaned. Remove dust from shelves, walls, ceiling, and surfaces to prevent particles from contaminating the new coating.

Take out towels, toiletries, and any loose items from the bathroom. Windows should remain closed during the process to keep dust and insects off the surface.

The room temperature should be maintained at least +20 °C starting one day before application and throughout the curing period.

The bathtub must be clean, dry, grease-free, and free of silicone, limescale, rust, and loose old paint.

All silicone residues must be completely removed, as the coating will not reliably adhere to them. Limescale deposits, rust spots, and loose old coatings must also be removed.

Deep damage, grooves, or chips over 1 mm should be filled with epoxy or polyester filler before coating and then sanded smooth.

Pour the entire component B into the bucket with component A. Mix the material thoroughly using the supplied wooden stick.

Stir carefully for about 10 minutes to ensure no unmixed residue remains at the bottom or sides. Then let the mixture rest for approximately 5 minutes, and stir again for about 5 minutes.

After that, the material is ready to be applied.

EKOPEL 2K is applied by pouring, not with a roller or brush.

Use a cup with a capacity of about 400-500 ml and pour the material evenly onto the edges and walls of the bathtub. The material flows slowly downwards, spreading across the surface.

This pouring method creates an exceptionally smooth, thick, and glossy coating.

If possible, we recommend removing the drain or at least covering the drain opening. This allows excess material to drain away cleanly.

If the drain cannot be removed, the drain opening must be carefully sealed. Cover the opening with paper, securely tape it off, and carefully cut the tape along the edges.

The overflow should also be removed or carefully taped off.

The room temperature should be at least +20°C. This temperature should be maintained one day before application, during processing, and throughout the curing period.

For easier application, we recommend warming Component A to around +30°C before use. You can do this by placing the bucket in warm water or storing it in a warm place the day before.

Temperatures that are too low can impair flow behaviour and significantly prolong the curing time.

At a room temperature of around +24 °C, the bathtub can be carefully used again after approximately 24 to 48 hours, depending on the product. At around +21 °C, we recommend waiting about 2-3 days before using the bathtub. Curing may take longer at lower temperatures. Bottles, soap containers, pets, as well as products containing dyes such as hair colour or coloured bath additives should only be introduced after approximately 7-14 days.

Small dust particles, insects, droplets, or surface irregularities can be carefully treated after curing.

Minor imperfections can be smoothed with fine sandpaper and then polished with polishing paste. For small scratches or damaged areas, we recommend a repair kit.

Deep damage should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent water from seeping beneath the coating.

Use mild bathroom cleaners without aggressive abrasives. Cleaners based on mild acids are generally suitable.

Avoid stiff brushes, abrasive sponges, and highly abrasive cleaning agents. Residues from hair dye, coloured bath additives, or cosmetic products should be removed immediately.

Proper care significantly extends the lifespan of the coating.

EKOPEL 2K is virtually odourless and contains no strong-smelling solvents. Any slight odour dissipates quickly.

The product has been tested according to DIN EN 71-3. However, we still recommend using standard protective gear such as gloves, safety goggles, and ensuring good ventilation during application.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Cured material can generally be disposed of with regular household waste. Uncured leftover material should be treated as hazardous waste.

Liquid remnants can be mixed together and disposed of after they have fully cured.

Store the material in a dry, tightly sealed container at temperatures between +5 and +35 °C. The shelf life is 2 years from the production date.

The material has a shelf life of 2 years from the production date, provided it is stored dry, well sealed, and at temperatures between +5 and +35 °C. The product can be used within this period.

The lifespan of the new coating can last for many years with proper surface preparation, correct application, and regular maintenance.

The actual durability greatly depends on the surface preparation, application process, cleaning, and daily use.

Yes, EKOPEL 2K can be tinted using the appropriate EKOPEL colour pastes.

Add the colour to Component A before mixing with Component B. The required amount depends on the specific colour chart.

Alternatively, pre-tinted versions can be used when available.
