Repairing guttering joints

I have several joints which have come adrift or started leaking (fortunately at garage level) which I am hoping to repair myself. For the moment I have used Duck Tape to hold them together as a temporary measure. I have seen various products on Amazon and elsewhere. Can anyone advise on the best way to do this please?

Thanks
somewhere between Heaven and Woolworth's

    I just did this. A complete new joint was about £2 in B&Q so seemed daft to not just replace it. Quite easy to pull off 4 clips - lots of videos on youtube.

    However it still leaked! Needed to give it a bit of silicon sealant and now OK.

    Gutters move about a lot & a bead of silicon won't last long. New rubber seals are required if you know what make it is, new joints if you don't.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.
