I stupidly dropped a designer radiator as I was moving it and bent one of the fins slightly. It is not severe but enough to crack the enamel finish slightly at the joint.
Before fitting I tried a leak test (I filled her up and then blew as hard as I could to get pressure in) and there appears to be a tiny leak from the joint between the bar (where the valve fits) and the fin. It is very, very slight but still there.
Is there any way to repair this effectively? If not, it was an expensive slip as the rad cost £200+ so I am hoping there is a solution!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts. (advice on how to break it to the missus also welcomed )
