After 30years in the building industry I can promise you that you will never make that look acceptable even if you have solid experience.
That's the reason everyone has said that it needs to be replaced.
Good luck!

When you break a ceramic item, there are always small pieces that go missing. Coupled with the facts that any adhesive has to take up some space to bond the surfaces, and that you can rarely get the two surfaces to line up perfectly, there will still be gaps that are the colour of whatever adhesive you use. That different adhesive is not going to magically be the same colour as the soap dish, so you will still see the cracks.

Particularly the one on the left. Just to make the work a little more polish.

Bunnings doesn't have the Porcelain Fix, however, I was thinking of using some white wet area silicone like this one: https://www.bunnings.com.au/selleys-300g-white-wet-area-silicone_p1230981 At least it would whiten the cracks a little bit and prevent moisture to go inside the soap holder through the bigger crack. At least it will be functional, ugly, but functional. What do you reckon? Re: Repairing a broken soap holder 30Jan 28, 2020 9:29 am arcadelt Kwizak What do you reckon? Absolutely not. Silicon is entirely wrong for what you are trying to do. How so? Does silicon suppose to prevent moisture to enter cracks? I have used silicon before. Why not use it in this case?

Never mind. Do as you please. I'm cleaning up the excess of cured epoxy, then I'll leave it at that. Thanks for your time.

I wanted to fix the issue myself, but yes, the result is not great.
