Repair rust area in the boot or not?

Car recently had bumper sprayed and it think they must have knocked something cos it started letting water into the boot. Eventually got it back in and they said it was coming in around the light (but wasn't caused by them.......yeah whatever) and is fixed now (and for gratis...how kind!).

The area where the internal matting has rubbed the paint down around the spare wheel has started to rust. Now that the leak has stopped will this continue to progress? The area can't be seen unless you move the matting and look. Do I need to get this treated? How much is it gonna cost? I can't really go back to the garage and insist they sort it out cos they will just deny it's their fault and tell me where to go.

Sand the area down, get some rust treatment on it and then spray it over if you want. If its just a bit of surface rust I wouldnt worry too much about it
