The hallway radiator has been off for some time with the pipes just protruding from the floor. I dropped a box on one of them and bent it 90 degrees so it's now flat with the floor. No leaks but I'm guessing it won't take kindly to being straightened. Any suggestions for minimal efforts required to patch it up? Partly bend it back then put a curve in the remaining stalk to bring it to being usable (I can bend the other end, or extend the rad fitting somehow if it won't bend back to exactly the right place..
Oops, bent a 10mm rad pipe flat..

If you're very careful, you might get away with it by squeezing the kink gently with a pair of plumbers pliers.
If you're lucky, & it's not completely kinked, you may be lucky.
Failing that, new piece of pipe required.
Good luck
