How the EKOPEL Pouring Technique Works

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

Frequently Asked Questions

All EKOPEL 2K materials are specially 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 particularly suitable 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 offers 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 especially thick, smooth, and glossy coating.

EKOPEL Roll-On is applied in two layers with a roller. It is ideal 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, 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 flexes when pressed, we do not advise using it.

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 recommend a 2.4 L set.

The EKOPEL 2K Set already includes the base material and essential accessories.

Additionally, you will need masking tape, protective film or paper for the floor, a hairdryer or heat gun, a cup with a capacity of approx. 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 any particles from contaminating the new coating.

Remove towels, personal care products, and loose items from the bathroom. Windows should ideally be kept closed during application to avoid dust or insects settling on the surface.

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

The bathtub must be clean, dry, free of grease, and clear of silicone, lime scale, rust, and loose old paint.

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

Deep damage, grooves, or flaking areas exceeding 1 mm should be filled with epoxy or polyester filler before coating, then sanded smooth.

Pour the entire component B into the bucket containing component A. Mix the material thoroughly using the supplied wooden stirrer.

Stir carefully for about 10 minutes to ensure no unmixed residue remains on the bottom or sides. Then let the mixture rest for approximately 5 minutes before stirring again for another 5 minutes.

After this, the material is ready for application.

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 along the edges and walls of the bathtub. The material flows slowly downward, spreading 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 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 down, and carefully cut the tape along the contour.

The overflow should also be removed or carefully taped off.

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

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 place the day before.

Temperatures that are too low can impair flow characteristics and significantly extend the curing time.

At a room temperature of around +24 °C, the bathtub can be used again carefully after approximately 24 to 48 hours, depending on the product. At around +21 °C, we recommend waiting 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 irregularities 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 beneath the coating.

Use mild bathroom cleaners without aggressive abrasives. Cleaners based on mild acids 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 almost odourless and contains no strong-smelling solvents. Any slight scent dissipates quickly.

The material has been tested in accordance with DIN EN 71-3. Nevertheless, we recommend using standard protective equipment 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 household waste. Uncured material residues must be disposed of as hazardous waste.

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

Store the material in a dry place, well sealed, and 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 when stored dry, well-sealed, and at temperatures between +5 and +35 °C. Within this period, the product can be used.

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

The actual durability depends heavily on surface preparation, application technique, cleaning, and daily use.

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

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

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