Do I need an emergency plumber for a leak?

Yes, a leak usually needs urgent attention because water can cause damage even when the drip looks small at first. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend in Bayside to locate the leak, confirm whether it is from pipework, a fixture, or a hot water unit, and provide a flat-rate quote before repairs begin. If the leak is hidden, leak detection may be needed to confirm the exact point.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Bayside?

Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and 24/7 emergency plumbing support for residential and commercial clients. Arrival time depends on current jobs, traffic, and access at the property, especially in unit blocks or shared sites. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, so you know what to expect once the job is booked.

What should I do if my hot water system bursts after hours?

If water is actively leaking, isolate the water supply at the main if you can do it safely, then book an emergency plumber. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Bayside properties 24/7 to make the site safe, assess whether the unit can be repaired or needs replacement, and provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is established. The right fix depends on the type of system and the extent of the damage.

What causes most plumbing emergencies in Bayside homes?

Most emergencies are caused by failures that escalate quickly, such as broken pipes, blocked drains that overflow, and hot water systems that leak or stop heating. In practice, the urgency comes from the consequences, including water damage, hygiene risks, and safety concerns. An onsite assessment confirms whether the fault is localised or part of a wider issue, and the next steps are explained before any additional work proceeds.

How does your pricing work for emergency plumbing?

Pricing is fixed to the job, not charged by the hour, and a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts once the scope is agreed. The final cost mainly changes with access, the parts required, and whether the job is after-hours or requires urgent attendance. The Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.

Is there a call-out fee for Bayside?

Call-out arrangements vary by location, and No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages). For Bayside, the simplest approach is to ask when booking so the call-out status for your address is confirmed upfront. Once onsite, we confirm the scope and provide a fixed-price quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises at the end.

Are your Bayside emergency plumbers licensed and insured?

Yes, all attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW, and Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting. The business is comprehensively insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability is intended to protect you if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

Do you provide warranties on emergency plumbing repairs?

Products and appliances are covered by standard manufacturer warranties, which apply to the hardware supplied. If a follow-up is needed, we document what was done and what was tested, so it is clear what has been repaired and verified.
