Plumbing FAQ's in Bilgola Plateau
Plumbing decisions feel harder in an emergency because you are trying to stop damage and avoid surprise costs. The answers below cover the questions we hear most often from Bilgola Plateau locals, including pricing, arrival expectations, and what happens on the first visit. If your situation is unusual, a brief call is the simplest way to confirm urgency and book the right properly licensed technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing and all gas issues in Bilgola Plateau, booking a licensed plumbing technician is the safest option because incorrect repairs can cause water damage, safety risks, or non-compliant work. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite, then provides a fixed-price quote before we begin. If it is a simple repair, it is usually resolved quickly once parts and access are confirmed.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on scope, access, parts required, and whether the job is urgent after-hours, so accurate pricing needs an onsite assessment. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and provides the quote before starting. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out details when booking for Bilgola Plateau.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Bilgola Plateau and the Sydney metro area, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water work, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. The attending technician confirms the exact scope onsite, then quotes the job at a fixed price before starting, so you can approve the work based on clear inclusions.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in the 2107 postcode are normally assessed onsite because quoting without seeing the fault can miss access issues or hidden damage. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms what is affected, what needs to be isolated or tested, and what parts are required. After that assessment, a fixed-price quote is provided before we start, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in a property, and may also be licensed for gas work depending on their qualifications. In Bilgola Plateau, common work includes fixing leaks, clearing drains, repairing toilets, and maintaining hot water systems. For any regulated work, using a licensed NSW plumber helps ensure the work can be completed safely and to applicable standards.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running usually needs a professional repair because the cause is commonly inside the cistern, such as a valve or seal that is no longer closing correctly. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet onsite and quote a fixed price before starting. If water is actively overflowing, limit use and arrange an urgent booking so the issue can be made safe and stopped quickly.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed because water can track behind tiles or into cabinetry without being obvious at first. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the shower area in Bilgola Plateau, identify whether the leak is from a fitting, waste, or waterproofing-related issue, and then provide a fixed-fee quote before work begins. If the leak is worsening or causing visible damp, treat it as urgent.
Do you service the entire Bilgola Plateau area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Bilgola Plateau and all Sydney metropolitan areas, including the Northern Beaches. Capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls helps with coverage across the wider area. Attendance still depends on current jobs and traffic conditions, so the best step is to book and request an ETA update where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Bilgola Plateau using professional equipment including camera inspection equipment and high-pressure jetters. The method depends on what is causing the blockage and the condition of the pipe, so the line is assessed first. If the camera shows structural damage rather than a simple obstruction, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is verified.

For Bilgola Plateau emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are prioritised and the nearest available licensed technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. Same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic, and we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.
