Hi all. I had to replace a very old rad recently in the bathroom. The new one (a Kudox premium single 600 * 1100) has been in for just 2 years, and has some awful corrosion (see picture). I only noticed this as the paint started falling off - which implies this has been happening for a fair while, and is probably far more extensive than can be seen from the picture.
Kudox state that their 15yr warranty covers "any welds defects and leakages". I consider this to be a serious fault with the rad, would you think I'm covered by their warranty? (Naturally, I'm well outside the standard 12 month one). They're basically washing their hands of the problem, saying it must be due to a damp bathroom. Well, aren't all bathrooms damp?
Also, do you think from the picture that this is likely to leak any time soon? I need to know how quickly I need to get this replaced.
Many thanks.
