Have purchased a new water tank recently and need to repair our existing pipework coming from the gutter of the shed to the new water tank. As you can see the old pipe was patched on with gaffer tape but hasnt quite stuck.

Pipe end that needs replacing to fix securely to gutter.

The rest of the pipe looks pretty good but will need some additional joins to get it away from the wall and stretch out to the water tank:

Need to replace this bracket too that is currently screwed to the brick:

Looking for product options to replace the necessary parts and any other advice to get this repair work done right. My first time doing a big outdoor plumbing job like this.
Hello @mrpatel
Just a friendly reminder that any plumbing work must be carried out by a licensed plumber for safety and compliance.
The pipework can be securely repositioned using appropriate pipe brackets, eliminating the need for gaffer tape and preventing future sagging. The plumber will likely install a T-section along the downpipe to divert water into your tank. To ensure cleaner water enters the tank, I recommend installing the Rain Harvesting 90mm First Flush Downpipe Diverter. This device helps remove dirt and debris from the initial flow, keeping your tank cleaner and reducing maintenance.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
