Plumbing FAQ's in Belrose
Plumbing problems are easier to manage when you know what will happen next, especially in an emergency. These are practical answers to questions we hear from Belrose locals, focusing on safety, arrival expectations, and how fixed transparent pricing works once the scope is defined onsite.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, for most plumbing and all gas work you should use a licensed and insured plumber, especially if there is flooding risk, sewer overflow, or any safety concern. Licensed work reduces the chance of water damage and helps keep work compliant where documentation is required. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW technicians and provides an upfront flat-rate quote once the onsite scope is confirmed onsite.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is found onsite, because access, parts required, and the extent of damage all change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a clear price after diagnosis and before work starts. For Belrose bookings, confirm whether a call-out fee applies when you book.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides residential and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Belrose. Work includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water supply service repair and installation, leaking taps and toilets, burst pipe repairs, roof and gutter leaks, gas fitting, and leak identification. If inspection shows a larger structural issue, the options are explained and priced once the scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an on-site inspection is the normal way to quote accurately in Belrose (2085) because many plumbing faults cannot be priced responsibly without confirming access and the cause. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses first, then provides fixed upfront pricing before any work starts. If the job changes after inspection, the scope is explained clearly and agreed before proceeding.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixing leaks, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, installing hot water systems, and completing licensed gas work where applicable. For any job, a good process is diagnosis first, a clear scope explanation, then a fixed-price quote before the repair begins.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually means an internal valve or seal is not shutting off properly, so water keeps refilling the cistern. If it is constant, gets worse, or risks overflow, it is best to arrange a repair rather than leaving it to waste water or cause damage. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cistern and quote the repair once the scope is finalised.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early because water can track behind tiles and into wall cavities before it becomes apparent. It may be a fitting, seal, or drainage issue, and the correct fix depends on confirming the source onsite. If the leak is active, minimise use and book a licensed plumbing specialist so the cause can be identified and repaired properly.
Do you service the entire Belrose area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Belrose and all Sydney metropolitan regions. Emergency jobs receive immediate dispatch, and same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic, so an ETA is provided when booking and updated where possible. If you have access constraints, share them at booking so scheduling can be planned.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and completes sewer repairs and pipe relining where suitable. The usual approach is to confirm the blockage location and cause using CCTV drain cameras, then clear it with the least disruptive method for the pipework, often high-pressure water jetting. If inspection shows structural damage, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Belrose, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch and allocates the nearest available licensed technician from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Arrival timing varies with traffic and current jobs, so an ETA is provided at booking and updated where possible. For non-urgent issues, service the same day is available for standard enquiries when scheduling allows.
