One of the metal partition walls between the toilet stalls is rusting a bit at the bottom. Rather than spend the money to replace the whole thing is there some kind of stick on trim I can put to hide the rust on the bottom of the partition?

Why not just clean the rust off and put some sealant on there? or paint them?

I think you need some sort of plastic that you can glue/bolt in place...

Get a piece of stainless steel to put over it. Remove the mounting bolts, slide the piece in, drill it, and replace the bolts.

I like Builder93's idea of stainless.

Scrape of any loose or flaky rust and treat it with a rust neutralizer to keep the rust from advancing. The stainless will stand up to all the cleaning products and you will not have to mess with it again.

The stainless idea bothers me if it covers up bare metal and moisture gets in there. What's left will rust and perhaps corrode the stainless.

Is what you're talking about a hardware piece or the partition itself?

Here's a link to some replacement hardware:

If it's already rusting, it's on it's way out. Might as well clean it up, cover it up and use some sealant at the top. I was assuming they are metal toilet partitions, which is always the cheapest solution at first. Then they rust and cost more than plastic when you have to replace them.
