Step 1: Clean the broken ceramic vase

Ensure that your cracked vase is clean and free from any dirt, dust or grease and then dry. Carefully remove any crumbling parts from the areas to be bonded to help ensure a neat and seamless repair.

Step 2: Apply the glue

Place a drop of our ceramic glue such as Power Repair, our super glues or similar, on the broken vase.

Step 3: Assemble the cracked vase

Press the parts of your broken ceramic vase together and hold in position for a few seconds to form the initial bond.

Step 4: Let the glue set

We recommend leaving the glue to dry for approximately 24 hours to ensure an ultra strong, long-lasting bond. Once the 24 hours are up, you can fill your ceramic vase with water if required and use as normal.

Step 5: You've fixed your broken ceramic vase!
