How the EKOPEL Pouring Technique Works

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

The detailed process is demonstrated in the video. Please follow this link.

Frequently Asked Questions

All EKOPEL 2K materials are specifically designed 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 about 48 hours and is especially well-suited for DIY enthusiasts due to its longer working time.

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

EKOPEL 2K Gold also cures in 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 technique. The material flows evenly over the surface, creating an exceptionally thick, smooth, and glossy coating.

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

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

For acrylic bathtubs, use is only recommended if the walls are stable and rigid. If the surface moves or flexes under pressure, we do not recommend applying the coating.

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 adding a 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 recommend 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 film or paper for the floor, a hairdryer or heat gun, a cup with a capacity of about 400-500 ml, tools to remove or open the drain, a knife or cutter, cleaning cloths, and a solvent for cleaning your 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 any particles from contaminating the new coating.

Take out towels, toiletries, and loose items from the bathroom. Windows should remain closed during the application to keep dust and insects from settling on the surface.

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

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

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 chipped areas 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 stirrer.

Stir thoroughly for about 10 minutes to ensure there are no unmixed residues on the bottom or sides. Then let the mixture rest for approximately 5 minutes before stirring again for another 5 minutes.

After that, the material is ready to be applied.

EKOPEL 2K is not applied with a roller or brush, but poured.

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 coating flows slowly downwards and spreads across the surface.

This pouring method creates an exceptionally smooth, thick-layer coating with a glossy finish.

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

If the drain cannot be removed, the drain opening must be carefully sealed. Cover the opening with paper, firmly tape it with masking tape, and carefully cut the tape along the contours.

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 prior to application, during processing, and throughout the curing period.

For easier handling, 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 spot the day before.

Temperatures that are too low can negatively affect flow behaviour and significantly extend the curing time.

At a room temperature of around +24 °C, the bathtub can be used again with care 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. At lower temperatures, curing may take longer. Bottles, soap containers, pets, as well as products containing colourants such as hair dye or coloured bath additives should only be introduced after approximately 7-14 days.

Small dust particles, insects, droplets, or imperfections can be carefully addressed after curing.

Minor unevenness 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 under the coating.

Use mild bathroom cleaners without aggressive abrasives. Cleaners with a mild acidic base are generally suitable.

Avoid stiff brushes, abrasive sponges, and strongly 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 scent is minimal and dissipates quickly.

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

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Cured material can generally be disposed of with household waste. Uncured material residues should be disposed of as hazardous waste.

Liquid leftovers can be mixed together and disposed of after complete curing.

Store the material in a dry, well-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.

With proper surface preparation, correct application, and regular care, the new coating can last for many years.

The actual durability largely depends on the surface preparation, application process, cleaning, and everyday use.

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

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

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