Gutter Repairs That Protect Your Roof And Home
Gutters do one job, but it’s a big one: move rainwater away from your roofline and safely into the stormwater system. When gutters leak, overflow, or pull away from the fascia, water can end up where you don’t want it—behind eaves, down walls, into garden beds, and around foundations. Over time, that can lead to timber rot, stained brickwork, damp patches, and avoidable repair costs.
The tricky part is that gutter problems often look simple from the ground. A bit of sealant might stop a drip for a short while, but it won’t fix the real causes of repeated leaks and overflow—incorrect fall, worn joints, blocked outlets, damaged brackets, or downpipes that can’t keep up. That’s why we take a diagnosis-first approach. We inspect the gutter line, identify the failure points, and carry out repairs designed to restore proper flow and long-term reliability.
At Wellington Roof Repairs, we provide gutter repairs in Melbourne that are practical, tidy, and clearly scoped. You’ll know what’s wrong, what needs to be done, and whether a repair is worthwhile or replacement is the smarter option.
Common Gutter Problems We Repair Across Melbourne
Gutters face constant exposure—sun, wind, debris, and heavy rain. Over time, even a well-installed system can develop weak points. The most common issues we repair tend to fall into a few categories, and the solution depends on what’s causing the problem rather than what it looks like from a distance.
Leaking Gutter Repairs
Leaks most often show up at joints, corners, end caps, and outlets. In some cases, sections shift slightly over time or fixings loosen, opening up small gaps that let water escape. Leaks can also be triggered by water backing up from a blocked downpipe and spilling over joints.
We locate the source of the leak, then repair it properly—whether that involves re-securing sections, resealing joints, replacing worn components, or correcting a localised issue that is pushing water where it shouldn’t go.
Sagging Or Overflowing Gutters
Sagging gutters can be caused by failing brackets, poor support spacing, or sections that have been stressed by debris build-up. Overflow can happen even when gutters look “mostly fine” if the fall is wrong, the outlet can’t drain fast enough, or water is hitting a trouble point during wind-driven rain.
We check alignment and flow, then address the cause—brackets, pitch, local corrections, and any points where water is pooling or spilling. The goal is to restore a gutter line that drains cleanly rather than fighting the system every time it rains.
Downpipe Repairs And Blockage Issues
Downpipes are a major part of gutter performance. If a downpipe is blocked, undersized, poorly connected, or discharging incorrectly, gutters can overflow and leak even if the gutter itself is in good condition.
We inspect the downpipe connection points, outlets, and flow path, then recommend the most sensible fix. In some situations, adding or adjusting downpipes can reduce overflow more effectively than repeatedly sealing the same gutter joints.
Rusted Or Damaged Sections
Rust, dents, and damaged lengths can weaken a gutter system and create repeat leak points. Sometimes a localised section replacement is the best option. Other times—especially when rust is widespread—replacement of the full run is the more cost-effective long-term move.
We’ll talk you through what’s repairable and what isn’t, so you’re not paying for temporary fixes that don’t hold up.

Our Gutter Repair Process
Gutter problems can look similar but require different fixes. Our process keeps the work organised and ensures the repair actually solves the cause.
Inspection And Cause Check
We identify where the gutter is leaking or overflowing and check the likely causes—joints, corners, brackets, fall, outlets, and downpipes. We also look for signs of water getting behind fascia.
Quote And Repair Plan
You receive a clear quote outlining the work required. If there are repair and replacement options, we’ll explain the pros and cons so you can make a confident decision.
Safe Access And Preparation
We set up safe access and protect surrounding areas where required. A tidy, organised setup helps ensure the repair is done cleanly and efficiently.
Repairs Completed
Repairs may include resealing joints, replacing damaged sections, correcting localised fall issues, securing brackets, improving outlet performance, or addressing downpipe connections.
Final Flow Check And Clean-Up
We complete a final check to confirm water drains properly and the repaired areas are secure. Then we tidy the site so your property is left clean and presentable.
Need Emergency Gutter Repairs After Heavy Rain?
If water is pouring over the gutter edge, leaking behind the fascia, or running down walls during storms, quick action can prevent bigger damage. Give us a call and we’ll talk you through the next step and organise priority help where possible.
What We Offer
Signs Your Gutters Need Repair
Overflowing gutters in moderate rain is one of the clearest signs something isn’t right. Water marks along the fascia or eaves, staining down walls, or drips at corners and joints are also strong indicators. If you notice sagging sections, pooling water, or gutters that appear to hold water after rain, the fall may be incorrect or support points may be failing.
Blocked downpipes can also cause issues that look like “gutter leaks”. If water can’t exit fast enough, it backs up and forces itself out through joints and corners. A proper inspection helps separate surface symptoms from the real cause.

Gutter Repairs Vs Gutter Replacement: What’s Best?
Repairs are often the right choice when the issue is localised—such as a leaking joint, a small damaged section, or failing brackets. Replacement usually makes more sense when there’s widespread rust, repeated failures across multiple sections, or poor fall throughout the full gutter run.
Cost depends on factors such as access height, total gutter length, the material required, downpipe work, and how the stormwater system is connected. If replacement is the smarter option, we’ll tell you directly and explain why.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about our services right here.
How much do gutter repairs cost in Melbourne?
Costs vary based on access, roof height, the length of gutter affected, and whether the issue is a simple joint repair or involves multiple sections, brackets, or downpipes. An inspection is the best way to price accurately.
How much does gutter replacement cost per metre in Melbourne?
Per-metre pricing depends on gutter profile, material choice, access requirements, and whether fascia or downpipe work is included. We’ll provide a clear quote after assessment.
What causes gutters to overflow even when they look clean?
Common causes include incorrect fall, undersized or blocked outlets, downpipe restrictions, or gutters that can’t drain fast enough during heavy rain.
Can you fix leaking gutter joints, corners, and end caps?
Yes. These are some of the most common repair points. We inspect the area and repair it properly, rather than relying on temporary patching.
Do I need more downpipes or just gutter repairs?
It depends on how water is flowing through the system. If the gutter is draining poorly due to outlet or downpipe limitations, adjusting or adding downpipes can reduce overflow more effectively than repeated sealing.
What’s the difference between repairing and replacing gutters?
Repairs address localised failures. Replacement is often best when the gutter system has widespread rust, repeated leaks across multiple sections, or structural issues that make ongoing repairs poor value.
