Plumbing FAQ's in Bexley North
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what will happen next and how pricing is handled. These are common questions we hear from Bexley North locals, including tenants, owners, and small businesses in the St George area.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, a licensed and comprehensively insured plumber is the safer option for most plumbing faults, especially anything involving leaks, sewage, or gas. DIY attempts can worsen damage or create safety risks, and some work must be completed by a licensed tradesperson in NSW. If the issue is urgent, stop using the affected fixture and arrange an assessment so the cause can be confirmed onsite.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is found onsite, because access, parts required, and after-hours urgency can change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and the quote is provided before work starts. No hidden costs; quotes are good for one month from the date issued. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out fee status when booking in Bexley North.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Bexley North. Typical work includes blocked drains, burst pipe repairs, water leak detection, hot water supply servicing and replacement, gas leak detection, and general maintenance like toilet repairs and leaking taps. If inspection shows the job needs a structural drain repair or relining, the options are explained and quoted after scope is verified.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite visit is the practical way to quote plumbing work accurately in Bexley North, because access and the affected pipework vary from property to property. The technician assesses the issue, explains what is causing it, then provides a fixed-price quote before starting work. You can then decide how you would like to proceed based on the confirmed scope and cost.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. That can include locating and repairing leaks, clearing blockages, repairing toilets and taps, installing hot water systems, and completing licensed gas fitting. In NSW, regulated work must be completed by a NSW-licensed plumbing technician or gas fitter, and some jobs require compliance documentation once completed.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs a repair to internal cistern components or seals, because the fault can keep wasting water and can lead to overflow if parts fail further. The safest next step is to book a licensed, insured plumber to inspect the toilet, confirm the cause, and provide a fixed-price quote before repairs start. If there is any sign of leaking onto the floor, treat it as urgent.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly, because water can travel behind tiles or into cabinetry and cause hidden damage. The right repair depends on whether the leak is from plumbing connections, the shower outlet, or drainage issues that keep water pooling. A duly licensed NSW plumber can confirm the source and provide fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is clear. If the leak is active, avoid using the shower until it is checked.
Do you service the entire Bexley North area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Bexley North and all Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergencies, jobs are allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, and the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. If your property has access constraints such as strata rules or restricted parking, mention it when booking so the visit can be planned.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, blocked drain unblocking is one of Fixed Today Plumbing's specialisations. The usual approach is to confirm where the restriction is, then clear it using equipment suited to the line, which can include drain inspection cameras and high-pressure water jetting. If inspection shows the pipe is damaged rather than simply blocked, repair options such as structural repair or no-dig relining are explained and quoted once scope is finalised.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Bexley North, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and assigned to the nearest available technician. For non-urgent work, same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing still depends on existing bookings and traffic conditions, but clear arrival communication is provided, including ETA updates where possible.
