- Drips at joints. Water leaks from corners, end caps or seams during rain.
- Sagging runs. Brackets have pulled loose and water pools instead of flowing to the outlet.
- Overflow in light rain. Often a blocked outlet or downpipe, or a gutter that has lost its fall.
- Rust spots or holes. Common on older galvanised gutters, especially near the coast.
- Damp marks on walls. Streaks or peeling paint below the gutter line.
What the Work Includes
- Resealing joints. Old sealant cleaned out and new sealant applied to corners and outlets.
- Re-bracketing. New or extra brackets to restore support and correct the fall.
- Patching or section swaps. Small holes patched, badly rusted lengths replaced.
- Downpipe repairs. Reconnecting, unblocking or replacing damaged downpipes.
Repair or Replace?
- Repair when damage is limited to a few joints, brackets or short sections.
- Replace when rust or splits run along most of the system, or repairs keep coming back.
- Check the fascia. If brackets keep pulling out, the board behind them may be rotten.

- Extent of damage. One leaking joint costs far less than several rusted lengths.
- Gutter material. Matching aluminium, steel or PVC sections affects the price.
- Height and access. Upper-storey gutters take more time and safety gear.
- Fascia condition. Rotten fascia behind the gutter must be fixed first.

Gutter Repairs FAQs
Can a leaking gutter joint just be resealed?
Usually, yes. If the metal around the joint is sound, cleaning and resealing is a cheap fix. If it is rusted through, the section needs replacing.
Why do my gutters overflow when it rains?
The most common causes are blocked outlets, a gutter that has lost its fall, or a system too small for the roof. A contractor can tell which applies.
Is it worth repairing old galvanised gutters?
If rust is limited to a few spots, yes. If rust is widespread, new gutters are usually better value than repeated repairs.
Should I clean the gutters before repairs?
Many contractors clean as part of the job so they can see the damage. Ask whether cleaning is included in the price.
