Plumbing FAQ's in Bilgola Plateau
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what will happen next. These FAQs explain how bookings, pricing, and onsite assessments work for Bilgola Plateau (NSW 2097). If your situation is urgent, call and we can confirm priority and organise attendance.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing and all gas work, a properly licensed NSW plumber is the safer option. In NSW, plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting must be completed by licensed tradespeople to meet safety and compliance requirements. If a repair is done incorrectly, it can cause water damage, create gas safety risks, or lead to repeat failures. An onsite inspection confirms the actual cause before anything is repaired.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work, access to the pipework, required parts, and whether the job is urgent after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing, so the price is confirmed in a quote before we start rather than changing as time passes. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, which helps avoid surprise changes.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing, plus specialist work such as blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe relining, hot water service and replacement, and licensed gas fitting. The right approach depends on what the onsite inspection shows and whether the issue is a straightforward repair or a deeper fault such as a damaged drain line.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most plumbing jobs in Bilgola Plateau are quoted after an onsite assessment, because access, pipe type, and fault location affect the scope. We confirm the problem, explain the findings in plain English, and provide a fixed-fee quote before we start. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so it is best to confirm call-out status when booking.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and (where licensed) gas systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixing leaks, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, installing hot water supply systems, and locating hidden bursts. A proper job includes confirming the scope, quoting upfront, completing the work to Australian plumbing standards, and testing function before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running is usually caused by worn internal components in the cistern, and it is typically repairable once the correct parts are identified. Booking a plumber is recommended because ongoing running can waste a lot of water and can sometimes lead to overflow issues. After inspection, the repair is quoted upfront so you can approve the work with clear pricing.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because water can travel behind tiles and cause damage before you see it. The leak might be from the tapware, waste, or a concealed pipe, and the correct fix depends on what is found onsite. Once the cause is confirmed, a fixed-price quote is provided before repairs begin, so you can decide with the scope clear.
Do you service the entire Bilgola Plateau area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Bilgola Plateau and all Sydney metro areas. Emergency jobs can be attended within our capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and access at the property, and we provide ETA updates where possible once your booking is confirmed.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, blocked drains are a core service we provide in Bilgola Plateau, using drain inspection cameras to locate the blockage and high-pressure water jetting to clear it where appropriate. If inspection shows the drain is structurally damaged rather than just obstructed, we explain the repair options, which can include structural pipe repair or no-dig drain relining, depending on pipe condition.
