Rusty bathroom radiator

[Rollerball]

I don't think it's the water somehow.

Yeah, I'll have to call the plumber - he was the one who bought the radiator (brand new) and fitted it.

Hi, just wondering if you ever got your radiator problem sorted? I have the same problem...replaced an old radiator that was bubbling and rusting at the bottom only 6 months and i have just noticed today that the new one is doing the same thing (no bubbling this time though, just rust). I replaced the old one with a myson radiator as i was told this was of excellent quality. I was hoping i could use some kind of paint?

What about applying a rust converter - it works well on cars and farming implements etc so should work equally well on a radiator to remove rust before painting.
There is a product called Jenolite rust converter which you can buy off eBay or from Rejel - and think on Amazon too.
