Hi all
I have a heated towel rack in my kitchen. I noticed recently that all the paint is peeling off the top and cracking down the length of the radiator. The white surface is stained with dark radiator water and the whole thing looks god awful.
I want to repaint it, but am assuming that the paint peeling/cracking is because of a (tiny, dribbly, barely-noticeable) leak, and I'm not painting anything until the leak is fixed. The leak is coming from the very top of the radiator. Photos attached.
I fully admit that I have no plumbing knowledge whatsoever. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I'm willing to have a go at fixing whatever the issue. I'm also willing to hire a plumber to fix it for me, but if it's a small job I'd rather save the £££ and do it myself.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
