What is the cladding? UPVC or powder coated?

Citric acid should reverse this type of staining, not cheap to use, plus you would have to go up on ladders to apply. You might have to clean the whole area to balance it up also. Is this an over flow pipe? hard to see from the photo.

The only other stuff I can think of is a solvent cleaner - the same as used by window installers.

You should be able to buy it at places like Travis Perkins, etc but not B & Q type stores.

There is a product we use for wood brightening that should work, as it will reverse rust staining as well and is safe to use on UPVC. if you want to either email me or give me a call,  I'll happily give you details and talk you though how to use it. This is do-able.

if its deep rust marking then steaming is the only option here.

+1 on the solvent cleaner..

I've used this on upvc cladding before  

http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/FXPSC.html?source=adwords&kw=&gclid=CKTq6qrhgLwCFSgTwwodbwcATw  

 (a customer removed an old aerial) came up a treat.

You can get it from window/cladding suppliers.

I hate when stuff like this happens. Your cleaning away having a lovely day then you come across something like this and you have to go back to sort it out!
