There is a leak where 2 pieces of horizontal zinc guttering connect. The soldered/welded connection seems to be broken. How can I repair this? Is something like gorilla tape an option?

Small tin of acropol will do it, put some fiberglass mat in for a better job/strength. Make sure its clean first. Any mastic might work for a while.

I was trying to save him from burning his house down!
Ha, If that is required, I would certainly ask a professional or ask my father in law who has soldering experience.
 
i have used CT1 on cast-iron and a replacement tin gutter , back in 1997 - we moved out in 2017 and it was still fine - but that was an overlap join
