Hi,

So long as you have all the bits, I would use Araldite 2-part epoxy adhesive - the standard not the quick set! It is not quick to set but is strong and lasts well. You will need something to keep it pushed together tightly while it sets, like a large rubber band. Good luck!

A cupboard standard here for home and garden repairs :)

Many thanks. Have loads of that but never thought
it would do for ceramic......
Was hoping there was some "repair shop" type
mega glue ....

Areldite it is as you say.
I'll post result! Thanks.
