Plumbing FAQ's in Bexley
These plumbing FAQs are written for Bexley 2207 residents and businesses who want clear expectations before booking. The answers focus on what usually happens onsite, what can change the scope, and how Fixed Today Plumbing confirms pricing, timing, and access requirements before work begins.
If your question is not listed, a short phone call can confirm whether your situation is urgent and what information helps us bring the right equipment on the first visit.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing and all gas work, hiring a licensed plumbing professional is the safer option because the cause is not always where the water shows up. A professional assessment also matters for compliance and for protecting your property if something goes wrong. If the job involves leaks, drainage backups, hot water, or gas, arrange an onsite inspection so the scope can be confirmed and quoted.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope confirmed onsite, access to the affected area, parts required, and whether the work is urgent or after-hours. 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. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm Bexley call-out details when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing covers general domestic and commercial plumbing services, including blocked drains, leak identification, broken pipe repairs, toilet repairs, roof and gutter leaks, hot water systems, and licensed gas fitting. The right approach depends on what is affected and what access is available, so the first visit focuses on confirming the cause and then quoting the correct repair method before work begins.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in Bexley are typically assessed onsite because accurate pricing depends on access, the condition of existing pipework, and what is actually causing the problem. Fixed Today Plumbing completes an initial diagnosis, confirms the scope in plain English, and then provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. If inspection reveals additional issues, options are explained and quoted before proceeding.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains pipework, fixtures, and drainage systems that bring water in and take wastewater out of a property. In NSW, licensed plumbers can also carry out regulated work such as drainage and gas fitting when correctly endorsed. In practice, most callouts involve diagnosing the cause first, then repairing or replacing the failed part and testing the system before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn inlet valve or a seal that is not closing properly, and it can waste a lot of water even if the toilet still seems to flush normally. The practical step is to book a licensed plumbing professional to inspect and repair the internal components. If the toilet is overflowing or leaking onto the floor, stop using it and arrange urgent attendance.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A shower leak should be assessed because water can travel behind tiles and show up somewhere else, which can lead to damage if left untreated. Fixed Today Plumbing checks whether the leak is from the plumbing, the fittings, or a drainage blockage, then provides a fixed-price quote once the scope is clear. If there is active leaking into walls or ceilings, book an urgent inspection.
Do you service the entire Bexley area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Bexley NSW 2207 and the wider St George district. Capacity extends up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and emergencies are sent out first using localised dispatch points across Sydney. Access instructions, parking constraints, and strata time windows can be accommodated when disclosed at booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains, sewer repairs, and CCTV inspections. A standard approach is to confirm where the restriction is, clear it using the appropriate method, then verify flow before leaving. If the CCTV check shows damage, recurring root intrusion, or a collapsed section, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Bexley, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed service technician is allocated from Sydney dispatch points. Same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. An ETA is provided when booking where possible, and arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions.
