Leaking gutter repair
Dripping joints, corners and stop ends resealed or re-made so water goes down the downpipe, not the wall.
Fix a leaking gutter
Gutter problems rarely fix themselves, and in Bondi one heavy downpour is usually what turns a small leak into water inside the eaves. Request a quote and a local roof plumber will assess the job and price it up front.
Inter-war Art Deco apartment blocks, semis and Federation and Californian bungalows. That mix shapes the gutter work we are asked to do here. Whether you are near Bondi Road and Old South Head Road or elsewhere in the 2026 postcode, the process is the same: send the details, get a price, choose a time.
Terraces and semis in Bondi commonly drain through box gutters hidden behind a parapet or running between two roofs. When a box gutter leaks, the water goes straight into the ceiling rather than over the edge. We reline or rebuild box gutters with the correct fall, sumps and overflows so they cope with a Sydney downpour.
Older houses in Bondi often still have their original gutter line, sometimes patched many times over. Where the property is heritage listed or inside a conservation area we keep to traditional profiles such as ogee and half round, and we check the timber fascia and brackets behind the gutter, which is where hidden rot tends to be.
Salt carried on the breeze settles on roofs and gutters in Bondi and speeds up corrosion, especially on cut edges, rivets and the back of the gutter where it never gets rinsed by rain. We often find gutters that look fine from the ground but have rusted through along the back edge. For coastal replacements we recommend a marine-grade finish such as Colorbond Ultra, with compatible fixings so dissimilar metals do not react.
Not sure if it needs repair or replacement? If the gutter is sound and the fault is in one place, a repair is the right call. Rust in several spots, or a gutter that has lost its fall, usually means replacing that run. We tell you which, with photos. Read our repair or replace guide.

Small repairs in Bondi such as resealing a leaking joint or refixing a loose section generally cost around $150 to $350. Replacing a damaged section, or a full gutter replacement, is priced per metre and depends on the profile, the height of the building and access. Every job is quoted as a fixed price before work starts.
Most quote requests from Bondi get a reply the same business day. Urgent leaks during wet weather are prioritised, and a temporary make-safe repair can often be done first with the permanent fix scheduled afterwards.
Yes. Traditional profiles such as ogee, quad and half round are still manufactured in Colorbond and Zincalume, so period homes in Bondi can keep their original look. If your property is in a heritage conservation area under Waverley Council, like-for-like replacement is normally the safest approach.
They do. Salt deposits accelerate corrosion, particularly on areas that rain does not wash. For homes in Bondi close to the water, a marine-grade steel such as Colorbond Ultra and regular rinsing of sheltered sections will noticeably extend gutter life.
