Do they sell guttering clips anywhere?
The clip on one of my guttering connections has broken and I want looking to buy it, I assume it would be readily available but appears not. Seems like you have to buy the whole corner piece. I'm looking at the clip that clicks into place see below:

I just did a quick Google and Amazon, Wickes and eBay all came up as selling square guttering clips.
For example;
FLOPLAST 114mm Square Gutter Clip - Black : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools
Now, whether they fit your guttering is another matter as we don't know what size you need.

That whole piece is the clip.
The springy part you pointed the arrow to is integral to the guttering joint.

not. Seems like you have to buy the whole corner piece. I'm looking at the clip that clicks into place see below:If you can't find the clips alone then (so long as the clips aren't integral to the fitting) you may be able to save money by buying a different fitting to what you actually need and take the clips from that.
E.g. if the "corner piece" you need is a 90 degree elbow then in the Wickes Floplast range this would be £4.40. Whereas the straight union bracket is £2.60. Both come with two clips, so with the union bracket you pay the equivalent of £1.30 per clip vs £2.20. TBH if you do manage to source the clips sold separately they may not be much cheaper than £1.30 each anyway.
(Wickes Floplast mentioned only for cost comparison purposes…. you need to buy the correct clips/fittings for your gutter system.)

I am reading this as the OP just wants to buy the springy clip and not the complete thing in the photo.
Uknick is right about whether the item they linked to would fit.

I have flomasta guttering. At least that's what they told me when they installed it. I couldn't get just the flexible bit that holds the guttering connections in place. So I bought the part in my OP and use the clip from it. All sorted now. abotu £2.50 from toolstation.

You get a couple of spare rubber gaskets too, so extra value for your £2.50.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.1 -
In this hot weather it will be very easy to remove the clips from whatever part they are currently attached to.

Put some silicon lube on the rubbers when assembling so long lengths of gutter can slide in the seals as they expand in the heat
