Where to get a replacement lawn mower blade on Sat?

    I need to get a replacement blade (18") for my rotary lawn mower, was hoping to pick it up tomorrow (Sat), Dublin area. Checked my local Woodies etc. but they only have ones for specific Flymo, Bosch etc. models. I've a Gardencare LM46P petrol mower, and think a generic, good quality blade would work. Can get a replacement from the manufacturer but I'm hoping there are better 3rd-party blades available.

    Any recommendation on a blade manufacturer, and on where I could pick one up? Thanks!

    Most blades are the same, remove the old one and take it as a pattern to any mower supply shop.

    B&Q Airside have plenty of Bosch and Flymo lawnmower blades in stock.Just happened to see them while having a look around out there earlier on.

    Also some other 3rd party make of blades too.

    Gardencare or Gardenline or some brandname like that anyway.

    Thanks for all the replies. When I took the blade off it wasn't as bad as I first thought, decided to get it sharpened rather than replaced. Fairyhouse Motors in Ratoath did a good job of sharpening it, €5 and done on the spot. Mower now working perfectly again.

    As a (very rough) comparison, B&Q are charging almost €50 for replacement Mountfield blades (pretty similar to my own), so it's well worth trying a repair before a replacement.
