Plumbing FAQ's in Bass Hill

Plumbing decisions are easier when you know what happens next and how pricing is handled. The answers below cover the questions we hear most often from Bass Hill locals, including what affects cost, when an onsite visit is needed, and what "immediate dispatch" means from experience. If your question is not covered, call and we will confirm the right booking based on urgency and access.

Should I hire a professional or do it myself?

In Bass Hill, it is usually safer to book a correctly licensed NSW plumber for anything involving water supply, drainage, or gas because poor repairs can cause property damage and compliance problems later. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed technicians, and workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship. If the issue affects gas, safety comes first and an onsite assessment should be arranged.

How much does plumbing cost?

Plumbing cost in Bass Hill depends on the confirmed scope, access to the fault, parts required, and whether it is an after-hours emergency. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing priced by the job, not by the hour, so you receive a fixed price quote before we begin. No hidden costs; ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies in your specific location.

What type of plumbing can be done?

Fixed Today Plumbing offers general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting in Bass Hill, including blocked drains, leak detection and burst pipe repairs, hot water unit repairs and like-for-like replacements, toilets, taps, showers, and roof or gutter leaks. The exact solution depends on what the onsite assessment finds, because similar symptoms can have different causes behind walls, under floors, or in external pipework.

Do you come to our house to quote?

Yes, an onsite visit is typically needed in Bass Hill because accurate quoting depends on confirming the problem area, access, and what is actually causing the problem. After assessment, we provide a flat-rate quote before work starts, then you can decide based on the confirmed scope. Quotes are good for 30 days from the date issued, which helps when you need approval from an agent or landlord.

What do Plumbers do?

Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses, including pipes, toilets, taps, showers, and hot water services. Licensed plumbers can also carry out drainage work, and licensed gas fitters handle gas appliance connections and gas leak repairs. In practice, the job includes testing and verification so the system is safe and working properly before leaving.

How do I stop my toilet running?

A running toilet is usually caused by a worn inlet valve, a faulty flush seal, or a cistern component that is not sealing correctly. A duly licensed plumbing technician can confirm the cause and complete a repair that restores normal shut-off and flushing. If the toilet is overflowing or leaking onto the floor, avoid using it and arrange an urgent assessment to limit water damage.

The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?

A leaking shower can come from the shower head, the taps, the mixer, or the waterproofing and drainage around the base, and those are very different repairs. The safest next step is an onsite assessment so the leak source can be confirmed before anything is replaced. If water is escaping into walls or floors, it is worth booking promptly to reduce the chance of hidden moisture damage.

Do you service the entire Bass Hill area?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Bass Hill 2197 and surrounding suburbs, with capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. We dispatch from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, so jobs in South West Sydney can usually be scheduled without needing long travel from one end of the city to the other.

Are you able to unblock drains?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing provides drain blockage clearing and structural pipe repair, including CCTV inspections and no-dig pipe relining where suitable. The first step is confirming what is blocking the line and whether the pipe is intact, because clearing a blockage does not solve a collapsed or broken section. Once the cause is confirmed, a fixed-price quote is provided before any work starts.

How fast can you come?

Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies in Bass Hill, and same day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. The exact arrival time depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, so an ETA is confirmed when the job is booked and updated where possible. If you have access restrictions such as tenant entry windows, mention that when booking.
