How to repair a bent gutter corner?

[sera2775]

Hello, I recently noticed that on the corner of guttering, part of it has been bent downwards. I believe it was a tree that feel on it a few years ago, but I did not notice until recently. Can I bend it to the correct position or does it need to be replaced? 

Thanks Nick

Hello @sera2775 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your gutter corner.

It appears that the corner cover can still be repaired. It does not look like there is any rust damage and it might be possible to bend it back into shape. However, if it proves to be too difficult and the gutter cover will not return to its position, I suggest engaging the services of a handy person or gutter specialist to repair the gutter corner.

Please make sure to take all necessary safety precautions when working at height. I also suggest having a look at this guide - How to use ladders safely by @Adam_W.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @sera2775,

I just thought I'd mention that if you can't bend the gutter corner back into shape, then you should be able to replace it.

We'd have to confirm that the profile is the same, but you can order new Gutter External Cast Corners. By the looks of it, your gutters are either Ironstone or Deep Ocean, based on the Colorbond Colours Chart.

These corners are usually installed with aluminium rivets and gutter silicone. In your situation, adding rivets and silicone would certainly help keep it in place.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
