Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For anything involving gas, sewer, hidden leaks, or water damage risk, booking a fully licensed plumbing technician is the safer choice. In Baulkham Hills, the same symptom can have different causes depending on the property layout and pipe condition, so an onsite assessment prevents wasted time and repeat faults. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the scope first and then provides fixed, upfront pricing before work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs vary based on what is found onsite, because access, parts required, urgency (after-hours versus standard booking), and the condition of existing pipework all affect the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you see the total price once the scope is finalised. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing across Baulkham Hills and the wider Sydney metro. Common jobs include blocked drains and sewer repairs, pressure testing and ruptured pipe repairs, hot water system repairs and replacement work, gas leak detection and new gas connections, and everyday plumbing maintenance like taps, toilets, showers, and roof or gutter leaks.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Baulkham Hills need an onsite assessment so the scope can be confirmed and priced accurately. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before work starts, and we confirm inclusions and exclusions so there are no hidden costs. Many service areas have no call-out fee, so confirm call-out status for Baulkham Hills at booking.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs and maintains water, drainage and gas systems so fixtures work safely and reliably. That includes fault-finding leaks, clearing and repairing drains, installing hot water systems, and completing regulated gas work as a duly licensed gas fitter where required. A professional service should include testing and verification before leaving, not just a quick patch.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet usually indicates a worn internal valve or a seal that is not closing properly, and it can waste a lot of water if left unattended. If the toilet will not stop running or is close to overflowing, it is time to book a plumber to prevent property damage. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cause onsite and quote the repair as a fixed price.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower is often caused by failed waterproofing, grout movement, cracked fittings, or hidden pipe leaks behind the wall. The risk is that water damage can spread into framing or ceilings before you see it clearly. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the source with onsite leak testing and then quote the repair once the scope is clear, rather than guessing and replacing parts at random.
Do you service the entire Baulkham Hills area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Baulkham Hills 2153 as part of our coverage across all Sydney metro regions, including the Hills District. The closest available licensed field technician is allocated from local dispatch points across Sydney. For properties with access rules, tenants, or appointment windows, we can coordinate entry details when booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Baulkham Hills using CCTV inspection to locate the problem and the right clearing method for the line. This includes internal drains and external sewer or stormwater lines where access allows. If the camera inspection shows a cracked or failing pipe causing repeat blockages, we explain repair options such as structural pipe repair or drain relining and quote once scope is confirmed.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated. For standard enquiries, same-day service is available. The exact arrival time depends on existing bookings and traffic conditions, but ETA updates are provided where possible so you are not left waiting without information.
