About Fixed Today

Standards our team follows on home visits

Since 2011, our family-owned plumbing business has helped homeowners across Sydney, and Russell Lea is within our current service area. During a visit, we listen to what changed, assess the affected plumbing and explain what our findings indicate, along with practical options and pricing, before you decide.

Regular on-site and off-site training, together with ongoing upskilling, helps your attending plumbers stay prepared for varied fixtures, pipe layouts and access conditions. In your home, they assess reported symptoms methodically and explain what checks indicate.

Our employment requirements pair that preparation with regular police checks and drug screening. We document work and price first, perform only the agreed repair, test the result, clean the area and talk you through handover.

  • NSW contractor licence 305428C
  • $10M public liability cover

Plumbing checks shaped around your home

We help Russell Lea 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

Cold or inconsistent water, unusual colour and moisture around the cylinder can point to a hot water fault. We inspect the unit, accessible valves and controls, plus the relevant gas or electrical connection.

What we observe lets us outline practical repair or replacement choices, expected disruption, household suitability and price. You choose whether to approve any of the proposed work.

  • 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 single slow sink can have a different cause from multiple drains that smell, gurgle or back up. We inspect affected outlets, available access points and accessible pipework before recommending a drain-clearing method.

The findings may support a particular clearing technique or a CCTV inspection. We explain the proposed work, why it may help and its price, then wait for your approval.

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

Leak Detection and Pipe Repairs

A rising water bill, damp finish, stained wall or peeling paint can be a sign of a concealed leak. Our licensed plumbers examine the visible pattern and use suitable tests on accessible pipework nearby.

Those checks may point towards a likely source and practical ways to reach it. We outline the proposed leak repair, access requirements and price, and you decide whether we proceed.

  • Leak signs and accessible plumbing checked
  • Likely source area investigated
  • Proposed access and repair scope
  • Agreed plumbing repair tested

Gas Fitting and Repairs

Our licensed gas fitters assess appliance concerns, supply faults and possible leaks. If you suspect gas, take everyone outside. Avoid switches and flames, then call us only after reaching somewhere safe.

  • Repair and installation options
  • Appliance and supply connections

Toilet Repairs

Continuous running, weak flushing, base leakage or returning blockages can each affect a toilet. Your attending plumber examines the pan, cistern, seals, inlet and reachable drain connection.

Leaking Tap and Fixture Repairs

Dripping, stiffness or moisture around a tap can point to trouble with a washer, cartridge, seal or the fitting itself. We examine the tap itself, nearby connections and adjacent finishes to check for moisture damage.

The assessment may indicate which part is likely to have failed. We explain the repair or replacement choices and price, leave the decision with you, then test the completed repair.

Before vs After

Diagnosis shapes the repair we propose

Ceiling stains can come from plumbing or waterproofing. We trace the likely moisture path and explain either the appropriate plumbing repair or which trade should investigate next. Once you approve the price and scope, we complete and test only the agreed plumbing work.

Before

The moisture source is still unclear

  • 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

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.

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.

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.

What we check

Similar warning signs can have different causes

Slow drain symptoms may involve grease, roots or damaged pipes. Damp areas have a separate group of possible causes from hot-water problems. We inspect private pipework, explain what checks indicate and 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 what happened and its location, then flag possible flooding or sewage separately from suspected gas. From a safe position, send clear photos, entry notes and your preferred contact. That information helps us plan and judge urgency, though the plumber must still inspect 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

Give recurring faults a history

When plumbing trouble returns, tell us when it happens, which fixtures are affected and what repairs have been tried. We use that history to choose focused checks, then explain what the findings indicate and which repair options may suit.

Useful symptoms 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.
