Salt Coast | Source: https://saltcoast.com.au/services/fixtures-hardware-protection/ Fixtures & Hardware Protection Salt Coast is a coastal fixture protection service launching October 2026, working across Perth and the WA coast.

They're usually metal, the material salt attacks hardest. They're often in exposed positions, on balconies, by pools, facing the sea. And they're the things no one thinks to maintain: you'll wash the house but not the outdoor lights or the BBQ. So salt accumulates on them undisturbed and corrosion sets in early. Lights pit and stop working, BBQ surfaces rust, hardware seizes and stains, screens corrode at the frame. Because they're smaller and replaceable, people tend to let them go and replace them when they fail, an expensive, repeating cycle that protection avoids. Protected properly ## How we protect fixtures and hardware ### Clean and de-salt Remove accumulated salt, grime and any early corrosion or staining from each fixture. ### Treat early corrosion Deal with rust and tea-staining before it pits or seizes the fitting. ### Re-protect Apply appropriate protective treatments so the metal and finishes resist the next round of salt. ### Keep on a cycle Fixtures corrode faster than surfaces, so they're maintained on a shorter, regular cadence, automatically, as part of your plan. What you can expect ## How we work with you ### Honest advice, not an upsell. We tell you what your home actually needs, and what it doesn't. If something can wait, we'll say so. We'd rather build a long relationship than win one oversized job. ### We treat the cause, not just the surface. Most coastal problems come back because they were patched, not fixed. We work out what's actually driving the damage (salt, moisture, corrosion) and deal with that, so the repair lasts. ### A proper look before any quote. We assess your property in person before we put a number on anything. It's free, there's no obligation, and it's the only honest way to quote coastal work, because every home is exposed differently. ### The coast is all we do. We're not generalists who also do beach houses. Coastal salt, corrosion and weather are our entire focus, which is why we catch the things others miss. Why it matters ## Built for the coast. Anyone can paint a wall or wash a house. The coast is different: salt gets into render, corrodes metal from the inside, and breaks down coatings from underneath, and it never stops. Treating coastal problems like inland ones is why so much work fails early. Salt Coast exists for exactly this. We diagnose before we treat, use methods and materials suited to coastal exposure, and build ongoing maintenance relationships rather than one-off jobs. That's how a coastal home stays sound instead of lurching from one repair to the next. [Maintenance Plans Keep your home ahead of the coast, not chasing it. Without a plan You wait for paint to peel, render to bubble, metal to rust, then react to damage that's been spreading for months. On a plan We catch it before it shows, while every fix is still small, cheap and quick, and you never lift a finger to manage it.

Salt accumulates on small outdoor fittings undisturbed and corrosion sets in early. Regular cleaning, treatment and protection stops salt getting the foothold it needs. **Can you protect a coastal BBQ from rust?** Yes, the stainless surfaces, hood and metal fittings can be cleaned, treated for tea-staining and corrosion, and re-protected. Note we protect the metal and finishes, not the gas burners or electrical components, which are a job for the appropriate trade. [Does stainless steel rust on the WA coast? The honest answer](https://saltcoast.com.au/guides/does-stainless-steel-rust-coastal/) **Do you treat door and window hardware?** Yes. Handles, hinges, locks and fittings corrode and seize in salt air, especially near the water. We clean, treat and protect the hardware so it keeps working and stops staining the doors and frames around it. **Is it cheaper to protect fixtures or just replace them when they fail?** Protecting them is almost always cheaper over time. Fixtures corrode fast and replacing them repeatedly adds up quickly, whereas a regular protection cycle keeps lighting, hardware and balustrades working for years longer at a fraction of the replacement cost. **How often do outdoor fixtures need protecting on the coast?** More often than surfaces, because salt works faster on small exposed metal. The exact cadence depends on how close to the surf you are, but fixtures are best maintained on a short, regular cycle rather than left until they fail.
