Repotting established wysteria

This plant has been in the same place for over 14 years - it was in this spot when we moved in.  I tried to repot it about 6 years ago resulting in large crack in main stem.  Should I leave it alone and continue to feed and prune twice a year or should I attempt to repot.  It flowers well and is healthy I just dislike the pot and think it’s too small.

    How about building a lined, wooden, bottomless planter around it and then breaking off the sides of the pot and filling the gap with a JI#3 compost?  That can be done with minimal disturbance to the plant.
    If you can remove one of the paviours underneath the planter too, that would help with drainage and the wisteria would likely find it and send down roots, further reducing the need for regular watering.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Exactly what I thought @BobTheGardener - great minds eh?
