I've used Gorilla Glue (original) and it's lasted about 3 weeks before the base and bath have separated when cleaning it.

Can anyone recommended a product that is much stronger? A friend has recommended EVO-STIK.

You need something flexible. I’d look at CT1 and like products

Having just taken a wall of tiles off, I’d say shower proof tile adhesive…

I’m absolutely shattered and amazed at how well it was all held on, particularly as it was me who haphazardly put them up 4/5 years ago!

I think trying to butt joint stone is going to be difficult to make last - moisture will get between the glue and the stone because its porous and cause the joint to fail eventually.

Are you able to drill a few holes in each part, so you can glue in some rebar/all thread/cut down bolts? Because if you can, you can fill the holes with something like this and join the two parts with a glue/metal combo:

As per the last two posts you need a two part anchor resin, especially if you can combine it with some studs/bar.
