Plumbing FAQ's in Belfield
These answers are written for Belfield NSW 2191 customers who want clear expectations before booking. If the situation is urgent, the safest next step is to arrange an assessment so the problem can be confirmed onsite and quoted at a fixed price before work starts.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergency plumbing in Belfield, a correctly licensed plumbing technician is the safest option because water and gas faults can damage property quickly and some work must be completed by licensed trades. A professional assessment also helps avoid misdiagnosis, which often leads to repeat callouts. If there is any safety risk or active leak, book an attending plumber rather than experimenting.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the fault, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-fee quote before work starts. If you are booking in Belfield, confirm the call-out fee status when you book.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Belfield, including blocked drains, water heater work, gas fitting, leak location, and broken pipe repairs. The attending technician will confirm the affected area onsite first, because the right repair depends on what has failed and what can be accessed safely. Once scope is clarified, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is the normal way to quote accurately in Belfield because plumbing faults often look similar until they are inspected. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms access, the affected area, and the likely cause first, then provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, which gives you time to decide once you have clear scope.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water and drainage systems in homes and businesses, and a licensed gas fitter works on gas pipework and appliances. In NSW, plumbing, drainage, and gas work must be completed by appropriately licensed trades for safety and compliance. Fixed Today Plumbing attending technicians are fully licensed plumbers in NSW, and regulated 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, flush valve seal, or a misaligned flushing mechanism, and the correct fix depends on what is failing inside the cistern. If the toilet is close to overflowing or you cannot keep the water under control, stop using it and book a plumber. Once inspected, the repair can be quoted at a fixed price before work starts.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by a failing mixer, worn seals, or a concealed pipe leak, and water can travel into walls and floors before you see obvious damage. If you are noticing damp patches, swelling cabinetry, or repeated drips, it is worth booking an assessment so the cause can be confirmed. After diagnosis, a fixed-price quote is provided before any repair begins.
Do you service the entire Belfield area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Belfield 2191 as part of the broader Sydney metropolitan regions, with localised dispatch points across Sydney to ensure rapid arrival. Emergency support is available 24/7 for commercial and domestic clients, and urgent jobs are sent out first. If access is constrained by strata rules or parking, those details are best shared when booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Belfield, using the appropriate method once the blockage type and location are confirmed. Clearing may involve CCTV check and high-pressure jetting, depending on what is found and what the pipework can safely handle. If the inspection shows the pipe is damaged rather than just blocked, repair options are explained and quoted after scope is confirmed.
