Rusty mark in bath

Hey all, hoping someone could help
I've got a rusty mark on my bath (white, metal, enamelled I assume) from where a metal hair grip slipped behing the bath mat and went rusty. Tried scubbing it with abrasive cleaner and bleach and looks slightly better but still not gone.

Any ideas on how to get rid of it would be greatly appreciated!

    Try some brasso or T Cut
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Make a paste of bicarb of soda and water, (not runny), leave on stain overnight. Rinse well in the morning...;)

    No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.
    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Be careful with bleach as oxygen based bleach will make rust worse...
