Been fitting the kitchen and accidentally knocked over a tall wall cover panel which landed on one of the rad stalks sticking out of the wall ready to take the radiator, bending it. The pipe is 15mm and it bent where it exists the wall, I very gently bent it back into position/level and it didn't split but it's left a slight kink in the pipe.

Question is, will it be ok? Can't imagine repairing it without knocking big holes in the newly plaster and painted walls.

Well if its not kinked where it looks like it could split with the expansion of the pipe when hot and its not kinked massivly which could restrict the flow and cause squeling noises, then it should be okay, its just a cosmetic thing after that, might look abit rough.
