Plumbing FAQ's in Berala
These questions focus on what Berala locals usually need to know before booking, how fixed pricing works, and what affects arrival and cost. If your issue is urgent, the safest next step is to arrange an assessment so the scope can be confirmed and a fixed-price quote provided before any work starts.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing in Berala, it is usually safer to hire a duly licensed plumbing technician when the issue involves leaks, drainage, hot water, or anything gas-related. Licensed work helps protect compliance and reduces the risk of hidden damage being missed. If the onsite assessment shows a simple, localised fault, the scope is established and you receive fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour).
How much does plumbing cost?
The cost depends on what is found during the assessment, because access, parts required, and the amount of repair work change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) so you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts. If you are booking an emergency or after-hours job, ask about call-out fees when arranging attendance.
What types of plumbing work can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Berala and Sydney, including blocked drains, leak detection, burst pipe repairs, hot water work, licensed gas fitting, and drain relining. The exact approach depends on what the onsite diagnosis shows. If inspection reveals a larger or related fault, options are explained and quoted once scope is established.
Will you visit my home for a quote?
Yes. An onsite visit is how the affected area, access, and the likely cause are confirmed, which is important for accurate emergency work. Once the scope is clear, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before work starts, with no hidden fees. If the job involves strata or rental access in Berala, tell us early so timing can be coordinated.
What do plumbers do?
A plumber repairs and installs water, drainage, and related fixtures to keep a property safe and functional. In practice, this can include locating leaks, clearing drains, repairing broken pipes, and installing hot water systems. In Berala, the starting point is usually confirming what is affected and what access is available, then providing a fixed-price quote before the repair proceeds.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is commonly caused by a worn internal valve or seal, and it can waste a lot of water if left unattended. If it keeps running or the toilet is not flushing correctly, book a licensed plumber (NSW) to inspect it and confirm the correct fix. Once the cause is identified, the work is quoted at a fixed price before any repair starts.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often indicates a failing seal, a cracked fitting, or pipework leaking behind the wall, and the damage can spread before it becomes obvious. Arrange an assessment so the source can be located and the scope confirmed. Fixed Today Plumbing then provides fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) before repairs proceed.
Do you service the entire Berala area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services Berala 2141 as part of our Sydney metropolitan service area. If your property has access constraints, such as strata rules, restricted parking, or a narrow booking window, mention it when you call so we can schedule around it and allocate the nearest available properly licensed technician.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains, and the approach depends on what the inspection shows. Standard blockages in accessible lines are typically cleared with equipment such as CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure jetting. If the camera indicates a damaged pipe or recurring obstruction point, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed on site.
How quickly can you arrive?

Arrival timing depends on current emergency jobs, traffic conditions, and access at the property. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, so you know what to expect.
