Hi all,
I recently moved a radiator that had been in the kitchen for years, to a new bedroom. The radiator matches all the other radiators upstairs.
It seems that whilst the radiator has been stored that it has got damaged on the bottom or it has a corrosion issue, as I now have a tiny leak right at the bottom of the radiator. This is on the underside of the radiator on the wall facing section. See the picture - the leak is where the bucket is positioned.
Now I've read the advise and I know that the best solution would be to replace it from a long term perspective, but I'm loathed to do that initially as it matches the rest of the radiators upstairs and I need to focus on other jobs.
What I'm considering is seeing if a product such as the below will fix the issue?

Any other advice on an attempted fix would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
