On uPVC it's a bit of a bodge, but this or Toolstation equivalent, don't be talked into fancier-labelled versions of the same stuff,

If it's uPVC gutter, you may find opening the joint, cleaning out the dirt and carefully reseating the seal will fx it. You can also buy replacement seals.

Thank you. Unfortunately our guttering seems to be unobtanium despite being used on our entire estate by a well known housebuilder about 20 years ago, so this is a last resort before having to change the whole run!

That or CT1, we had Cast Iron on the garage, chap working next door said 'you need this special sealer for that job, I'll do it for £60. Said I'd let him know.

Bought tube of CT1 it was fine for year or 3 until a delivery person backed into it, now replaced with aluminium.
