A gutter that leaks, sags or overflows in one spot rarely needs the full run torn off - the usual culprits are a perished joint seal, a broken bracket, a hairline split from frost, or a downpipe with a cracked shoe. A proper repair figures out which failure it actually is before quoting. The trade problem is that some installers only sell replacements, so a diagnosed repair for £120 turns into a £900 quote for a job that didn't need doing.

The commonest single fault is a leaking union - the small clip-together sleeve between two lengths of uPVC gutter. The rubber EPDM seal perishes after 10-15 years and a replacement union is around £30 in parts, £80-£140 fitted including access. Second most common is a sagging run where one or two brackets have snapped or the fascia behind them has softened - re-fixing to sound timber with new brackets at 600mm centres runs £120-£220. A split downpipe or a smashed shoe at ground level is usually £60-£130.
