Hey everyone!
I recently ordered a plant pot and it arrived with several cracks in it (pics attached below). A replacement is on the way, but I’m wondering if there’s any way to salvage the broken one. Has anyone tried repairing something like this before?
I’d love to try and repair it rather than throw it out. If you’ve got any tips, tricks, or materials I should use, I’d really appreciate the help! Please let me know if you have any suggestions / ideas!
Thanks,
Victoria
Kintsugi!
Ah yes I’ve heard of this! I thought it was quite an expensive process but I think I’ve found some kits for around £20 or so…!
Hey Victoria!
Lots of ways to fix this which is often quite intimidating!
You need something that’s both going to glue the pieces together and be waterproof sealed.
I’d go with a small 2 part resin epoxy kit, you can get them on amazon I think in the 10-20£ range, usually it’ll be a clear mixture but you can get dyes to make it be any colour your want!
I’d skip getting anything that says kintsugi on it, you can get all the components much much cheaper individually - they often have two part epoxy in Poundland, then the gold powder is just gold mica powder which you can get in craft / art / nail shops really cheaply!
Really helpful, thanks so much both!

I wouldn’t recommend poundland epoxy for this but marine epoxy such as jb weld
It is dark grey though
Lidl has rapid epoxy for £3 at the moment. I guess it’s no better than the Poundland stuff though?
