My root gutter is leaking water through the gap between 2 gutters. What material can I use to seal the leakgage?

I’m considering something like silicon or tile grout filler.

Thanks in advance! šŸ™

On a hot non-rainy day, apply roof sealant. Those black stuff.

Clean debris b4 using clear/transparent silicon. Use flat ice cream stick to push the silicon into the gap for first coat including screw holes. Then apply 2nd coat. Seal 2 sides, in and out.

waterproof tape.
from Mr. DIY.
under rm15.
after cleaning the area of rust n debris, apply one layer top n bottom to cover holes.
not a permanent solution, but it's quick n cheap.

or cut a piece of metal sheet (eg. milo tin) and cover area with epoxy steel, then tape over it top n bottom.
good luck.

Clear silicon gives a neater and clean sight after repair. Injection of silicon goes deep into the fine crack.

Nevertheless, tapes can also be use.

U can use bitumen just paint over the whole area (from inside the gutter).
