About Fixed Today

How we hire, train and support plumbers

Family-owned Fixed Today has served Sydney homeowners since 2011, and Kensington sits within our service area. We ask what you have noticed, inspect the affected plumbing and explain what the findings indicate before outlining practical options, their price and the approval step.

Every plumber we hire must be licensed, then regular on-site and off-site training and ongoing upskilling keep practical methods, product knowledge and homeowner communication current.

Regular police checks and drug screening are part of our employment standards too. During a visit, your plumber protects nearby surfaces, explains relevant checks, tests the completed work and talks you through the result before packing up.

Practical plumbing help across your home

We help Kensington 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 runs cold, changes temperature, leaks or looks rusty, we check the unit, controls, valves and accessible energy supply. The findings guide the options we explain.

We compare practical repair and replacement choices, their disruption, household fit and price. The final choice stays with you, and we wait for approval before starting.

  • 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

Slow drainage at one fixture may come from a nearby obstruction; gurgling or overflow across several drains can suggest a restriction further along. We inspect affected outlets, accessible pipework and entry points before outlining clearing or CCTV options.

We explain what the findings support, the proposed drain work and its price. Nothing starts until you approve that scope.

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

Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs

Stains, moisture, lifting paint or unusual water use can point to a concealed leak. Our licensed plumbers test the affected plumbing and use suitable diagnostic equipment to narrow the likely source and practical access choices.

We explain the findings, proposed repair and price before opening any surface or starting work. The decision remains yours.

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

Gas Fitting and Repairs

Leaks, supply faults and connection problems belong with our licensed gas fitters. Where gas may be present, leave without using switches or flames, then phone us from a safe location.

Testing informs the findings, proposed gas work and price we explain before seeking approval. After approved gas work has been completed and tested, we supply any compliance documents required for that job.

  • Appliance and supply connections
  • Any required compliance records

General Plumbing Repairs

A dripping tap, running toilet, uneven pressure or rattling pipework can each point to a different plumbing issue. We examine the fixture, valves, supply and safely accessible connections, looking for the signs relevant to that fault.

  • Low pressure and noisy pipe checks
  • Fixture installation and replacement
  • Practical maintenance advice

Bathroom Plumbing and Renovations

Bathroom work can involve fixture connections, water supply and waste plumbing for replacements, upgrades or renovations. We inspect the existing layout and explain the proposed plumbing scope, access and price.

Before vs After

Diagnosis before a repair is proposed

A ceiling stain may come from plumbing fittings, seals or waterproofed areas, so we inspect moisture paths. From those findings, we outline either the plumbing repair or trade needed; we carry out and test only approved plumbing work.

Before

A visible stain with no confirmed source

  • The visible symptom has no confirmed source
  • A repair is chosen before the cause is checked
  • Access or price changes are left unexplained
  • The same symptom returns without further testing
  • There is no clear handover record

After

Likely source explained, plumbing repair tested

  • The fault is checked with a suitable diagnostic method
  • The likely cause and repair options are explained
  • The scope and price are approved before paid work
  • The result is tested before handover
  • Relevant invoice, warranty and compliance records are supplied

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.

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.

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.

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 plumbing signs have different causes

A drain may be restricted by damaged pipework, grease or roots. Damp may reflect leaks, failed seals or waterproofing; hot-water issues may involve valves, controls or supply. With private pipework assessed, we explain if 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

Explain what changed and where you noticed the fault. Separately report flooding or sewage, and whether gas may be present; send safe photos, access information and your best contact. Those details help us assess urgency and prepare, though our plumber still inspects 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 305428C PLATINUM HOT WATER AND PLUMBING PTY LIMITED

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

Tracing the cause of repeat faults

For a plumbing fault that returns, we consider when it happens, which fixtures are affected and any past repairs. We choose focused tests, then explain what the findings indicate and outline practical repair options.

Fault details to record

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.
