A repaired ceramic vane of a gas turbine engine includes at least one platform and an airfoil section that extends from the at least one platform. The platform includes at least one mounting surface for supporting the ceramic vane and the airfoil section includes a damaged region. There is at least one over-wrap fiber ply wrapped around the airfoil section. The over-wrap fiber ply covers the damaged region. The over-wrap fiber ply is densified with a ceramic matrix material. There is at least one build-up layer on the mounting surface. The build-up layer has an adjusted thickness and contour that provides a desired stagger angle to the ceramic vane.
