Plumbing FAQ's in Barangaroo
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what will happen next. These Barangaroo FAQ answers explain when to book a NSW-duly licensed plumber, what affects the cost, and how arrival and quoting usually work in apartment and commercial buildings. If your situation is urgent, call Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 for 24/7 emergency assistance, and we will confirm the right response when booking.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Hiring a duly licensed plumbing technician in Barangaroo is the safer option when water, drainage, or gas is involved because hidden leaks and incorrect repairs can cause property damage or compliance issues. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are fully licensed NSW plumbers. An onsite assessment confirms the cause before any fixed-price work is approved.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work, access to the fault, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the job price is provided after the onsite assessment and before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing in Barangaroo, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, drain relining, CCTV inspections, hot water work for major brands (Rheem, Dux, Rinnai), and licensed gas fitting such as appliance installation and leak location. The right approach depends on what is found onsite, and options are explained clearly before any work proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing attends in person in Barangaroo to assess the issue and provide a fixed-price quote before we begin. Phone quoting is limited because access, the affected area, and existing pipework all change what is involved. In high-density buildings, entry instructions and parking or loading access also affect time onsite, so these details are confirmed when booking.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems, including fixtures such as toilets, showers, taps, and hot water systems. In practice, a plumber also confirms the cause of the issue, explains the scope in plain English, then tests the system before leaving. In NSW, plumbing and gas work must be completed by licensed professionals for safety and compliance.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn valve or seal in the cistern, and it often keeps wasting water until the parts are repaired or replaced. The quickest way to prevent repeat issues is to have a duly licensed plumbing technician (NSW) confirm the model and replace the correct components. Fixed Today Plumbing can repair or replace toilet parts after confirming access and providing fixed upfront pricing.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from the shower head, a mixer or valve, or a concealed connection behind the wall, and the visible drip is not always the source. Because water can travel into wall cavities and floors, it is worth booking an assessment so the leak path can be confirmed. Once the scope is clear, Fixed Today Plumbing offers a fixed-price quote before starting repairs.
Do you service the entire Barangaroo area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Barangaroo and all Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergencies, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, and urgent jobs are sent out first from localised dispatch points across Sydney. If your property has building management or access requirements, mention them when booking so the right time and technician can be arranged.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Barangaroo using CCTV check equipment to confirm what is blocking the line, then high-pressure water jetting or other suitable methods to restore flow. This covers most common blockages in accessible pipework. If inspection shows a damaged or collapsed pipe, repair options such as structural pipe repair or pipe relining are explained and quoted once confirmed.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and service the same day available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and site access, especially in CBD and high-density buildings. An ETA is provided when booking, and updates are provided where possible if the schedule shifts due to earlier urgent jobs.
