Plumbing FAQ's in Berala
These Berala plumbing FAQs are written to reduce uncertainty around cost, safety, and what happens when a licensed service technician arrives. Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and the fixed-fee quote is given after an onsite inspection confirms the scope. For emergencies, we offer 24/7 support and immediate dispatch, with ETA updates where possible.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing in Berala, a licensed professional is the safer choice for anything involving water supply, drainage, or gas. Poor repairs can lead to ongoing leaks, property damage, or compliance issues later. Fixed Today Plumbing is correctly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (305428C), and the onsite assessment is used to confirm the cause and the safest fix.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Berala depends on the confirmed scope, access to the pipework or fixture, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so once the problem is assessed onsite you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including Berala. This includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, hot water installation and repair, licensed gas fitting, leak detection, toilet repairs, and gutter and roof leaks. If inspection shows the job needs additional work, options are explained and priced once the scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. For accuracy, Berala jobs are quoted after an onsite assessment confirms what is affected and what access is available. Phone-only quoting is often unreliable because the visible symptom may not be the real cause. After inspection, we provide a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before we start, which makes it easier to approve work with confidence.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. In NSW, licensed plumbing also covers drainage work, and licensed gas fitting is required for gas pipework and appliance connections. In practice, a big part of the job is identifying the true cause of a fault and verifying the fix before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually means a valve or seal inside the cistern is not sealing correctly, and it can waste a surprising amount of water. The quickest way to avoid bigger issues is to arrange a toilet repair assessment so the parts and cause can be confirmed onsite. If the toilet is close to overflowing or leaking onto the floor, stop using it and book urgently.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by a worn tap cartridge, a failed mixer, or a waterproofing and drainage issue that is showing up as water outside the shower area. Because moisture can damage floors and walls, it is worth booking an assessment early. Once the source is confirmed onsite, we provide fixed, upfront pricing before completing the repair.
Do you service the entire Berala area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metro areas, including the full Berala 2141 area. For emergency calls, we have capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. The technician allocated depends on urgency, current bookings, and access requirements, so sharing any parking or strata constraints at booking helps.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and can also handle structural pipe repair when a blockage is caused by damage in the line. The right method depends on what is found onsite and what access is available, and a CCTV drain inspection may be used to confirm the cause. Once the scope is defined, the job is quoted at a fixed price before work starts.
How fast can you come?
For Berala emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing delivers immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Arrival timing depends on the existing schedule and traffic, so we provide arrival communication and ETA updates where possible. For non-urgent work, same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
