Gutter replacement is often a good idea when your existing gutters are rusted through, repeatedly leaking at multiple joints, sagging, or constantly overflowing despite cleaning and minor repairs. While small, localised issues can usually be fixed, a system that’s deteriorating along the full run will continue to cause problems and require ongoing patch work. Replacing the guttering restores proper water flow, protects fascia and walls from damage, and can prevent more expensive structural issues around the roofline. The key is assessing whether the problem is isolated or widespread — once repairs stop being cost-effective, replacement becomes the smarter long-term choice.

Roof Guttering Replacement That Prevents Water Damage
Gutters don’t just tidy up roof run-off — they protect your home. When roof guttering fails, water can spill behind the fascia, soak eaves, stain walls, and pool near foundations. Over time, that can lead to timber rot, internal damp issues, and costly repairs that could have been avoided with a properly functioning drainage system.
Gutter replacement becomes the best option when repairs stop being good value. If you’re dealing with widespread rust, repeated leaks across multiple joints, sagging runs, or persistent overflow even after cleaning, replacing the guttering can restore reliable flow and reduce the risk of water damage around the roofline.
At Wellington Roof Repairs, we provide gutter replacement in Melbourne with a drainage-first approach. We assess why the system is failing, recommend the right gutter setup for your roof, and install it neatly so it looks clean and performs properly in heavy rain.
Choose The Right Gutter System For Your Home
A good gutter replacement isn’t just swapping old for new. The best outcome comes from selecting the right gutter system for your roof type and rainfall needs, then installing it with correct fall, secure fixings, and properly positioned outlets and downpipes.
Metal / Colorbond Gutter Replacement
Metal guttering is a popular choice across Melbourne because it offers durability, a tidy finish, and a range of colour options to suit most homes. When installed correctly, it handles rain efficiently and holds its shape well over time. The key is correct alignment and secure support so water flows smoothly rather than pooling in low spots.
If you’re replacing old metal gutters that are rusted or leaking, we’ll ensure the new system is properly set out and connected so you’re not dealing with the same issues again.
Gutter Profile Options
Different gutter profiles suit different roofs. Some are chosen for appearance and style, while others are selected for capacity and drainage performance. We’ll recommend a profile that suits your roofline and rainfall demands, and we’ll explain the practical reason for the choice rather than leaving you guessing.
Downpipe And Outlet Upgrades
Many “gutter problems” are actually outlet and downpipe problems. If downpipes can’t drain fast enough, water backs up and spills over the edge or leaks out through joints. During replacement, we assess outlet positions and downpipe flow so the system drains efficiently in real conditions.
In some cases, adding or upgrading downpipes can make a noticeable difference to overflow issues. We’ll advise on whether that’s needed as part of your replacement scope.
Fascia And Eavesline Checks
Gutter replacement often reveals issues with fascia boards or eavesline areas that have been exposed to water over time. If there are signs of damage, we’ll highlight them and explain the best next step. The aim is to protect the roof edge properly so your new gutters aren’t installed onto compromised sections.

Signs You Need Gutter Replacement
Some gutter issues can be repaired, but certain signs point towards replacement as the smarter long-term option. Rust holes and flaking metal across multiple sections usually indicate the guttering is nearing end-of-life. Persistent leaks at several joints often suggest the system is deteriorating across the run, not just in one spot.
Sagging gutters that hold water after rain can point to poor fall, failed brackets, or guttering that has warped over time. Overflow that continues even after cleaning can signal capacity issues or outlet and downpipe limitations that need a proper fix as part of a replacement plan.
If you’re seeing staining on fascia and eaves, water lines down walls, or pooling near the home after heavy rain, it’s worth addressing the drainage system sooner rather than later.
What We Offer
Gutter Replacement Cost In Melbourne: What Affects Price?
Gutter replacement costs vary because every roofline is different. The biggest factor is usually the total length of guttering required, but access height and safety requirements can also change the scope significantly.
Other factors include the gutter profile and material, the number of corners and joins, the number and position of outlets, and whether downpipes need replacement or upgrades. Fascia condition also matters, because damaged sections may need attention to ensure the new gutters are installed on a stable, sound edge.
The best way to get an accurate figure is a site inspection and a clear quote that outlines what’s included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our services right here.
How much does gutter replacement cost in Melbourne?
Costs depend on the length of guttering, roof height and access, the gutter profile and material, and whether downpipes or fascia work are required. We provide clear quotes after inspection.
Is gutter replacement priced per metre?
Often, yes — but the final cost also depends on corners, outlets, downpipes, access requirements, and the complexity of the roofline.
Do I need gutter replacement or just gutter repairs?
If the issue is localised, repairs may be suitable. If there is widespread rust, repeated leaks across multiple sections, or persistent overflow caused by system limitations, replacement is often better value.
What gutter profiles do you install?
We can recommend suitable gutter profiles based on your roofline, drainage needs, and preferred appearance. The best option depends on capacity requirements and the style of the home.
Should I replace downpipes at the same time?
Not always, but it can be beneficial if downpipes are damaged, undersized, or contributing to overflow. We’ll advise based on what we see on site.
Why do gutters overflow even after cleaning?
Overflow can be caused by incorrect fall, undersized outlets, downpipe restrictions, or a system that can’t handle heavy rain. Replacement and outlet planning can resolve this.
