My Gassers radiators are looking past their best and a bit battered. I was looking at getting some rad braces at about £100 to give them some protection but they are probably a bit too bent to fit the braces properly.

So instead of forking out £££ for some radiators and another £100 for braces I've been recommended this place

GMX Radiators

They'll straighten and repair the rads, plus weld on strengthening braces for usually about £130-140. Now I haven't used them myself so can't comment on their work but I thought that seemed like a pretty good deal considering the price of rads and braces.

Just thought I'd pass on some info just in case anyone else is needing similar work.

Thats a good repair but the best protection is to fit proper radaitor braces that are braced off the frame.

Now they look the daddy! ... certainly look strong with those rods.
But the big question is: Do I go for anodised orange Smile
