See if you can find a product called Barkeepers Friend. It is made of oxolic acid which is fairly ecologically friendly, isnt dangerous to use even without gloves, and won’t damage the porcelain like a pumice stone can.i own a housekeeping company and I’ve used this on many porcelain tubs and sinks that have new and very old rust stains and it works every time.

Thanks for the replies, they are porcelain tiles. Will check out CLR but not sure it is sold in the UK.
Coke will remove rust from almost anything.
Coke was the first thing I tried but unfortunately had no effect, going to try lemon and salt next.
have you tried CLR. I've used it on lots of things, even pool tile.
Can't buy CLR in the UK, will try lemon and Borax. Also came across Hammerite Rust Remover. Thanks for all your replies
