- Repairing your gutter seams is easier than you might think! Just grab a ladder, a pair of gloves, and the right rubber gutter sealant.
- The first thing you need to do is locate the issue and work out if it can be fixed or if you need to replace the gutter completely.Â
- To repair the gutter, start by removing all debris, cleaning and drying the area.
- Cut the tip of the cartridge above the screw thread and trim the nozzle to size. Load the cartridge into a standard cartridge gun
- Apply the rubber sealant along any seams or holes that need fixing.Â
- If you need to fix another part of the gutter on top, or add a new piece on top make sure to apply the rubber sealant to the part underneath first.Â
- Once you’ve put in the new or existing piece on top, add more sealant along all of the outside seams.Â
- Smooth the sealant using UniBond 2in1 Sealant Remover and Smoother Tool.
If you found some cracks in your roof tiles you can also use rubber sealant to fix these quickly and easily. The following steps require a ladder. Don’t take any risks.

Make sure that no persons can be injured by falling objects.
- Set up your ladder and make sure you can safely reach the roof tiles you need to fix.Â
- Clean the crack in the roof tile with a toothbrush or wire brush and a mix of water and washing-up liquid. Rinse and dry the area thoroughly.Â
