Every plumbing visit is handled by one of the licensed plumbers we employ. Regular on-site and off-site training, together with ongoing upskilling, keeps technical skills, preparation and customer communication current.

Household plumbing help that fits

We help Lakemba homeowners with general plumbing, hot water, blocked drains, leaks, gas work and urgent faults. Tell us what stopped working and where it appeared. Keep clear of flooding or sewage; if gas may be present, leave the area, avoid switches and flames, then call us from somewhere safe.

Hot Water Repairs and Replacements

Hot Water Repairs and Replacements

Hot water faults can show as cold showers, discoloured water, leaks or unstable temperatures. We check the unit, valves, controls, energy supply and accessible connections to see what the findings suggest.

We then compare repair and replacement options, including likely disruption, household needs and price. You decide what happens once those details are clear.

  • Hot water fault assessment
  • Temperature and pressure checks
  • Repair and replacement options
  • System advice for your household

Blocked Drain Clearing
Blocked Drain Clearing

Blocked Drain Clearing

A single slow fixture can point to a restriction close by, while several drains that gurgle or overflow may involve connected pipework. We compare the affected outlets, inspect accessible entry points and assess the visible drain condition.

Those checks guide a suitable clearing option, CCTV inspection or further assessment where useful. We explain what we propose, what it includes and the price, then wait for your approval.

  • Drain symptoms and access assessed
  • Clearing options based on findings
  • CCTV inspection if useful
  • Repair choices for damaged pipework

Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs

Unexpected water use, damp plaster, fresh stains or lifted paint can be signs of a concealed leak. We use focused tests to narrow the likely source and plan sensible access before disturbing a finished surface.

Your plumber explains what the results indicate, the available repair and access choices, and their proposed price. You decide what work, if any, is approved.

  • Hidden leak symptom assessment
  • Diagnostic equipment where useful
  • Practical access and repair choices
  • Testing after completed plumbing work

Gas Fitting and Repairs

Our licensed gas fitters handle possible leaks, appliance-supply faults and connection concerns. If you smell gas or think it may be present, leave the area without touching switches or using flames, then call us from a safe place.

We inspect the gas system and explain the findings, proposed work and price, then wait for your approval. After the approved gas work has been completed and tested, we provide any required compliance documents for the job.

Constant running, a weak flush, water near the base or another blockage can each point to a different toilet fault. We inspect the cistern, pan, inlet, seals and connected drain to see what the checks indicate.

A steady drip, stiff handle or leak around the base can involve a tap washer, cartridge, seal, connection or the fitting itself. We inspect the tap and nearby surfaces for visible moisture damage.

A ceiling mark can start with a pipe, fixture seal or waterproofed surface. We check where the moisture most likely began, outline either the plumbing repair or relevant next trade, and after approval complete and test only our agreed plumbing work.

  • The visible symptom has no confirmed source

Luke Soo Google

Joe and Kurtis attended within hours of an urgent call to Fixed Today Plumbing for help in fixing a fast leaking hot water tap at my home. The urgent leak, and a two other less urgent tap repairs were performed promptly and professionally. I have now found a plumber-of-choice, and can highly recommend Fixed Today Plumbing’s services.

Hot Water
Elodie Watts Google

I needed a gas hot water system ASAP.... Joe was excellent... Quick to reply with very reasonable quote. Job was completed promptly and was very tidy on completion! Would totally recommend this business and definitely will use again in the future.

Gas Fitting
Bianca McConnell Google

We had two separate issues, burst pipe I the laundry and the hot water system needed replacement. The team came in same day and fixed the leak and replaced the hot water system. Very professional, friendly, clean and efficient. I would recommend Fixed Today to all my friends.

Hot Water
Lyndsay Cannell Google

Unfortunately we had a poor experience of the services of Fixed Today, today. We called seeking support to diagnose a problem with our leaking hot water system. The plumber that came to our home was quick to diagnose the system as needing a complete replacement, and quoted us a steep $1850. Given the significant price, we sought a second opinion from another local Plumbing Service.…

Hot Water
Jennifer Young Google

Required an emergency call as hot water system had not heated. Technician arrived within the hour and found that the relay switch on the electrical board was faulty. Joe contacted the energy supplier and arranged replacement; this was attended on the same day - Sunday. Great service.

Hot Water
Chuncho Google

Fixed Today was the closest plumbing company to me here in Sydney, and they did a great job with our blocked drains. Affordable, and honest! I’ll use them again for future plumbing. I highly recommend them.

What we check

Why similar signs need different plumbing checks

A drain restriction may involve grease, roots or damaged pipes. For damp marks we consider leaks, seals and waterproofing; for hot-water changes we consider supply, valves and controls. Only after examining private pipework do we explain why Sydney Water may need to investigate the public wastewater network.

  • Mature street trees

    Decades-old plane and fig roots find every hairline gap in the sewer line.

  • Pre-1990s housing stock

    Original copper and earthenware drainage is reaching end of service life.

  • Reactive clay soil

    Sydney clay expands and contracts with the wet/dry cycle, stressing rigid pipework.

  • Heavy summer downpours

    Stormwater systems sized for 1970s rainfall struggle with modern intensities.

Before the visit

Help us prepare for your visit

Start with what changed and where it shows. Tell us separately about flooding or sewage and whether gas may be present, and add safe photos, access notes and a contact. We can assess urgency and prepare from those details, but the plumber still examines the fault on site.

Why licensing matters

Licensed plumber vs. unlicensed worker

Plumbing work in NSW must be carried out by a licensed plumber. It is not just a formality, licensing protects your home, your insurance, and your right to recourse if something goes wrong.

Licensed plumber

What you get

  • Work is insured and meets the National Plumbing Code
  • Compliance Certificate issued for every job
  • Home insurance and warranty stay valid
  • Statutory warranty backed by NSW Fair Trading
  • Clear path to dispute resolution if needed
Unlicensed worker

What you risk

  • Work may breach the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act
  • No Compliance Certificate: issues at resale
  • Home insurance claims commonly denied
  • No statutory warranty on the work performed
  • Limited recourse: Fair Trading cannot assist
Our NSW Plumbing Licence 236784C Fixed Today Plumbing Pty Ltd

Most home insurance policies will not pay out for damage caused by unlicensed plumbing work. A burst hot water unit from a non-compliant install can void cover on the entire claim, often tens of thousands of dollars.

When the problem keeps coming back

Looking into repeat plumbing faults

If a leak, blockage or hot-water issue comes back, we compare its timing, affected fixtures and earlier work. That pattern guides targeted checks, a plain explanation of the results and useful repair choices.

Track repeat symptoms

Tree-root blocked drains

Mature street trees send fine roots through old earthenware joints. By the time the drain backs up, the line is often partially collapsed.

Burst copper under slab

Pre-1990s homes here often have copper pipe run under the slab. Pinhole leaks become full bursts once the pipe wall thins through.

Failed electric hot water units

Replacement is cheaper than emergency repair on units past 10 years. We carry common sizes on the truck for same-day swap-outs.

Stormwater overflow at the boundary

Clay tiles laid 50+ years ago weren’t built for today’s roof areas. We jet, camera, and reline rather than dig up your front yard.

Leaking shower bases

Bathroom tiles look fine until the cornice underneath swells. Most leaks here trace back to a hairline crack in the waterproofing membrane.

Gas appliance shutdowns

Older gas fittings drop pressure as seals harden. We carry licensed gas testers and can pressure-test the line on the same visit.
