TileProf says:	Hi There, Rust is probably the hardest thing to get out of an Acid sensitive Stone Tile such as Marble, we have come across it a few times in the last few years and tried Grinding, polishing, etching,, Chemicals etc, nothing works on it, the problem is that the rust bleeds through the stone so the answer is to take the tile up and replace with new.
