Plumbing FAQs in Bass Hill
These Bass Hill plumbing FAQs cover what locals usually want to know during an emergency, including how pricing works, what happens on the first visit, and what affects arrival timing. If you are unsure whether your situation is urgent, call and we will help confirm the right next step without asking you to diagnose the fault.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies and any gas, drainage, concealed leak or hot water work, a licensed NSW plumber is the safer option because mistakes can create property damage or safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing sends attending technicians who are properly licensed plumbers in NSW. Once the issue is assessed onsite, you get a fixed-price quote before work starts, so you can decide after the scope is clear.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is actually required once the problem is located, including reaching the pipework, parts needed, and whether it is an after-hours emergency. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and provides a fixed-price quote before starting work. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and there are no hidden costs.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Bass Hill, including blocked drains, broken pipe repairs, hot water system work, roof and gutter leaks, toilet repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The right approach depends on what the onsite assessment finds, especially where damage is concealed or access is limited. Once the the scope is confirmed, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in Bass Hill are assessed onsite before quoting, because accurate pricing depends on the exact location, access and cause of the problem. Initial diagnosis can involve camera inspection equipment, electronic ultrasonic leak identification, or other specialised tools depending on the fault. Once the scope is established at the property, you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts.
What do plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs and maintains water, drainage and associated fixtures, and a correctly licensed gas fitter handles gas appliance and pipework tasks. In practical terms, this includes stopping leaks, restoring drainage flow, repairing toilets and showers, and replacing failed hot water systems. For regulated work, it is important the attending technician is licensed, and the work is completed to applicable Australian Standards.
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, so it keeps refilling. If it is wasting significant water or you are worried about overflow, arrange a toilet repair. A plumber will confirm which part has failed and provide a fixed-price quote before replacing parts and testing operation.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often comes from a failed seal, a damaged mixer or tap assembly, or water escaping behind tiles, and it can cause hidden damage over time. If the leak is constant or you can see water spreading into nearby rooms, stop using the shower and book a repair. After inspection, the cause is explained clearly and a fixed price quote is provided before work starts.
Do you service the entire Bass Hill area?

We dispatch from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay and Ruse, which helps allocate the closest available team.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also handles structural pipe repair where a camera inspection shows the pipe has failed. Clearing is typically completed using hydro jetting, and CCTV drain camera inspections are used to confirm what caused the blockage and where it is located. If inspection shows the line is damaged or collapsed, the repair options are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
