Hot Water Repairs and Replacements

Hot Water Repairs and Replacements

When a hot water system leaks, runs cold or delivers inconsistent or discoloured water, we examine the unit, controls, valves and energy source. The results guide the options we can responsibly discuss.

We set out practical repair and replacement options beside their likely disruption, your household needs and the price of each. The decision remains with you.

  • Unit valve and control checks
  • Water temperature and pressure testing
  • Repair or replacement guidance
  • Advice matched to system type

Blocked Drain Clearing
Blocked Drain Clearing

Blocked Drain Clearing

A kitchen sink that empties slowly may involve a local restriction, while several drains with noise, smell or overflow may suggest a broader problem. Our inspection covers the fixtures, safe access points, accessible pipework and visible signs.

We use the findings to set out an appropriate clearing proposal or CCTV option where it adds value. We explain what the proposed work includes and its price, leaving approval with you before starting.

  • Slow drain and overflow assessment
  • Suitable clearing methods explained
  • Camera inspection when warranted
  • Pipework repair options discussed

Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs

Unexplained water use, damp plaster, staining or lifting paint may be signs of a concealed leak. We examine the affected area and use appropriate testing, which may indicate the likely source and practical ways to gain access.

Our licensed plumbers explain what the results suggest, the proposed repair, access requirements and price. You review that information and decide whether the work is approved.

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

If you suspect gas, leave the area, avoid switches and flames, then call us from somewhere safe. Our licensed gas fitters assess the reported signs, accessible appliances and gas installation, then explain what testing indicates.

General Plumbing Repairs

A dripping tap, toilet that keeps running, low pressure or noisy pipework each calls for its own checks. We examine the affected plumbing, reachable connections and relevant water or waste lines, then consider what the findings indicate.

  • Tap and toilet repair options
  • Water pressure problems assessed
  • New fixture installation plumbing

Toilet Repairs

Toilet Repairs

Constant running, a leak near the pan, weak flushing or recurring blockages can come from different toilet faults. We examine the cistern, seals, pan, water inlet, drain connection and any visible damage nearby.

From those observations, we set out a suitable adjustment, new part, reseal or drain service. You receive the proposed scope and price before choosing whether we start.

  • Toilet filling and flushing checks
  • Valve and seal repair options
  • Base leak and pan resealing
  • Connected drain assessment

Drips, stiffness and moisture around a tap can involve its washer, cartridge, seal or the fixture itself. We check the tap, reachable connections and nearby surfaces for visible water effects.

What we observe supports the repair or replacement choices we present with their prices. Once you approve one, we complete that work, test the tap and explain the result.

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.

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.

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.…

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.

Blocked Drains

What we check

One symptom can have several possible sources

Grease buildup, tree roots and damaged pipework can restrict a drain. Damp patches can follow a leaking fitting, while hot-water trouble may begin in the unit or supply. We explain whether private pipework stays in scope or 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

Describe the affected fitting, its location and the change you observed. Identify active flooding or sewage, then raise suspected gas as a separate hazard. If safe, send photos, entry information and a reliable contact so we can assess urgency and prepare before the plumber inspects 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

Trace the reason faults repeat

When a leak, drain blockage or hot-water problem returns, note its timing, affected fixtures and any earlier repairs. We use that history to choose focused tests, then explain what the findings indicate and which repair options make sense.

Recognise repeat faults

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.
