About Fixed Today

What our plumber standards mean in your home

Fixed Today is a family-owned Sydney plumbing business built around prepared visits and clear decisions. We’ve served Sydney homeowners since 2011, while Newtown is within our service area. Our licensed plumbers inspect the fault, explain what the findings indicate and outline proposed work for your approval.

We develop our plumbers through regular on-site and off-site training and ongoing upskilling covering technical work, communication and safe habits in occupied homes. This preparation supports careful access, surface protection and clear explanations.

As ongoing employment requirements, regular police checks and drug screening are not arranged afresh for every booking. When a plumber enters your home, these standards sit beside our expectations for handling keys, access and the work area.

  • NSW contractor licence 305428C
  • $10M public liability cover
  • Compliance paperwork where required

Plumbing fixes for eight home problems

We help Newtown 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

Hot water can run cold, fluctuate, look rusty or leak from the cylinder. We inspect the unit, valves, controls and energy supply to understand what the checks indicate.

We then discuss practical repair and replacement options, including likely disruption, your household’s needs and the price of the proposed work. You decide whether you want us to proceed.

  • 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 water at one drain can suggest a local obstruction. When several drains gurgle, back up or overflow, the restriction may sit deeper in the line, so we assess each affected outlet, available access and pipe condition.

Based on those findings, we outline a suitable clearing approach or CCTV inspection, explain the proposed work and price, and wait for you to approve it.

  • 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

Unexplained water use, staining or damaged paint can suggest a hidden leak. We assess the affected area with suitable diagnostic equipment and leak testing before any access is discussed.

These checks may indicate the likely source and practical ways to reach it. We outline the repair, possible opening work and price, then leave the decision with you.

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

Gas Fitting and Repairs
Gas Fitting and Repairs

Gas Fitting and Repairs

Our licensed gas fitters assess gas leaks, appliance faults and supply problems, then explain the tests, proposed work and price. If gas may be present, leave the area and avoid every switch and flame. Once you are safe, call our team.

We complete the gas work you approved, test it, then provide any required compliance documents afterwards.

General Plumbing Repairs

Whether plumbing is dripping, running, noisy or delivering low pressure, we check the affected fixture, water supply, relevant valves and accessible connections.

  • Tap and toilet fault checks
  • Water pressure and pipe noise assessment
  • Fixture repair and replacement options
  • Maintenance advice where useful

Toilet Repairs

If a toilet keeps running, leaks near the base, flushes poorly or blocks repeatedly, several components could be involved. We examine the cistern, pan, seals, water supply and connected drain for useful signs.

Our findings may point towards an adjustment, reseal, replacement component or drain service as the proposed repair. We explain the work and its price, and we do not begin until you approve it.

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

A dripping or stiff tap, or water around its base, may involve the washer, cartridge, seal or fixture. We inspect the tap, accessible connections and surrounding area for damage, with the checks indicating the likely failed part.

We explain the repair and replacement options and give you the price. You choose whether to proceed, and after completing approved work, we test the repair.

Bathroom Plumbing and Renovations

Bathroom plumbing covers showers, baths, basins, toilets and tapware, together with their water and waste connections. We confirm the required plumbing tasks, available access and how the selected fixtures fit the existing layout.

Before starting, we explain our proposed scope and price, then wait for your approval. Waterproofing, electrical work, structural changes and other specialist tasks may still need your builder or another licensed trade.

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.

Blocked Drains

What we check

Similar symptoms may still have different causes

A drain may be restricted by grease, roots or damaged pipes. Damp can come from a failed fitting; separately, hot-water problems may involve the heater, controls or supply. By checking private pipework, we can 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

Describe the fault and its location, then say if water or sewage is spreading and if gas may be present. Include safe photos, entry notes and your best contact. We use those details to assess urgency and prepare; the plumber still 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

Recurring plumbing faults explained

For a recurring leak, blockage or hot-water fault, we ask when it happens, what was repaired before and which fixtures are affected. We then select focused tests and explain what those findings indicate.

Recurring faults to assess

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.
