The plastic frame for one of our iron manhole covers is damaged (it must
have taken considerable force to bend it this much) so that the cover
doesn't really sit in it comfortably. Does anyone know of a retail
supplier of such a thing? I can only find frames and covers for sale,
and I don't want a spare iron cover lying around :-) Is it likely that
or water supplier will replace it for us?

I need a new iron cover, so if you live anywhere near sussex
I'll go halves, but TBH, the last one only cost me £11.

Well, I'm surprised its plastic, mine is metal.

The cheap modern replacements intended for domestic
foot traffic have plastic surrounds, and very thin
galvanising on the cover that lasts about 20 years if that.

You need to use the ones specified for highway use to get
a decent strong metal frame.
