About Fixed Today

How we prepare plumbers for work in homes

As a family-owned Sydney plumbing business, we have served homeowners across the city since 2011. Lidcombe is part of our service area. We inspect the affected plumbing, talk you through what the findings indicate, then explain the available options and their prices before any work is approved.

We employ only licensed plumbers, backed by regular on-site and off-site training and ongoing upskilling in safe work and customer communication. This preparation sets clear expectations for protecting fixtures and the area around a repair.

Regular police checks and drug screening complement those employment standards. They support accountable access, respectful conduct and careful work while our plumbers explain their proposal and keep you informed through the agreed job.

Plumbing services for everyday faults

We help Lidcombe 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 Repairs and Replacements

When hot water disappears, changes temperature or carries discolouration, we check the unit, valves, controls and energy source. The findings show which repair or replacement paths are practical.

We explain each option, its likely disruption, the household demand it can meet and the proposed price. You choose repair, replacement or no further work before anything begins.

  • Hot water problem investigation
  • Visible leak and supply checks
  • Practical repair and replacement choices
  • System options explained before approval

Blocked Drain Clearing
Blocked Drain Clearing

Blocked Drain Clearing

Slow drainage at one fixture can have a local cause. When several drains gurgle, back up or overflow, the restriction may sit farther through the private pipework. We check the symptoms, accessible points and pipe condition.

From those findings, we discuss a suitable clearing option and whether CCTV would add useful information. You receive the proposed scope and price before deciding whether work should proceed.

  • Affected drain and access checks
  • Clearing method matched to findings
  • CCTV inspection where useful
  • Damaged pipe repair options

Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs

Urgent

Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs

Damp plaster, bubbling paint, staining and an unexplained rise in water use can suggest a concealed leak. Our licensed plumbers test the affected plumbing and use suitable diagnostic equipment to trace its likely source.

The results guide practical access and repair options, which may still require an opening. We explain the proposed approach and price so you can choose how to proceed.

  • Visible signs and pipework checks
  • Likely leak area narrowed down
  • Access and repair options explained
  • Completed plumbing repair tested

Gas Fitting and Repairs

Our licensed gas fitters assess appliance trouble, suspected leaks and supply concerns. If gas may be present, leave the area, avoid switches and flames, then call us from somewhere safe with the details.

We set out the findings, proposed gas repair and price, and wait for your approval. Following completion and testing of the gas work you approved, we provide any required compliance documents at handover.

  • Water pressure and pipe noise assessment
  • Fixture repair and replacement options

Toilet Repairs

A toilet may keep running, leak around its base, flush weakly or block again after clearing. We inspect the cistern, pan, seals, supply and connected drain, noting when the fault occurs.

Those checks indicate which repair options are practical for the symptoms. We set out the proposed work and price before asking whether you want it completed.

  • Toilet leak and flush assessment
  • Cistern parts checked and replaced
  • Pan seals repaired where needed
  • Repeated blockages investigated

Leaking Tap and Fixture Repairs

A tap that drips, binds or leaks near its base can have wear in several components. We check the fixture, visible connections and nearby surfaces for moisture damage.

  • Tap shut-off and stiffness checks
  • Washer seal or cartridge replacement
  • Fixture repair or replacement options

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
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
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.

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
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.…

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

One symptom pattern can point to varied causes

A slow drain can involve grease, roots or damaged pipework. Damp may follow failed seals or corrosion, while hot-water trouble can involve controls, valves or the energy supply. Our checks cover private pipework; we explain when Sydney Water may need to investigate its 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

Tell us what changed, where it appears and whether flooding or sewage is involved. If you notice a possible gas smell, mention that separately. Safe photos, access details and your best contact help us assess urgency and prepare, while 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

Checking patterns in repeat faults

When plumbing trouble returns, we consider its timing, past repair work and all fixtures involved. That history helps us select focused checks, then explain what the findings indicate and what repair choices may suit the fault.

Repeat plumbing issues

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.
