Difficult for even an experienced DIY’er!
I am a property manager and a very experienced DIY’er and I would have to say that this was one of the most challenging projects that I have taken on in the last couple of years. On a difficulty scale of 1 to 10 for a DIY’er, I would give it a 9. - There are no instructions included with the product, but after finding them in the web, and watching an hour of YouTube, I thought I was prepared. - Prepping and taping the tub and surrounding area took over two hours. - Applying Ekopel means awkwardly leaning over your tub for 90 minutes, which is back straining to say the least. - There is a huge mess throughout the process, and cleanup is a nightmare. - If you are not able to remove your drain you are in for an even bigger challenge. I am looking at the result now and try to figure out how much sanding and which new product I am going to buy to cover up the problems. - There was just barely enough material included to cover my tub. - They make it seem if the pour over method will magically create the perfect layer across the entire tub. This is not the case. I have thin spots in some areas, and thick drips in others. - Although I followed the instructions about not scraping the bottoms or sides at the end, I still ended up with brown spots in some areas. After prep, application and initial clean up I am 7 hours into this job. I now need to make a trip to the hardware to buy a lot of sand paper to hopefully smooth out the drips, and a competitor’s product to hopefully fix the issues with the drain area and the thin spots. Those jobs should add another 3-4 hours, for a total of over 10 hours and close to $200. Not impressed...
