Plumbing FAQ's in Bondi
Plumbing problems can be stressful, especially when water is leaking or a drain is backing up. These are common questions we hear from Bondi locals, with straightforward answers about process, timing, and what affects cost. If your situation is urgent, you do not need to diagnose it, a short description is enough for us to book the right licensed field technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For anything involving gas, drainage, concealed leaks, or recurring faults, a licensed plumber is the safer choice because the cause is not always obvious and the risk of damage is higher. Simple, visible maintenance may be straightforward, but if the issue affects building pipework or compliance requirements, it should be assessed onsite. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms scope first, then quotes before work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the affected area, parts required, and whether it is after-hours emergency work. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and you receive a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month. Call-out fee status should be confirmed when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, drain relining, water heater work, leaking taps, ruptured pipes, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. The exact approach depends on what the onsite assessment finds. If the inspection shows structural damage or additional faults, options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Bondi jobs are typically quoted after an onsite assessment so the cause, access, and scope are clear. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before any work starts, so you can decide with the facts in front of you. For time-sensitive issues, let us know the symptoms so we can allocate the right technician and equipment.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain, and repair water and drainage systems, and licensed gas fitters work on gas appliances and pipework. The practical job is to locate the fault, repair or replace the failed part, and confirm the system works safely afterwards. If the work is regulated, documentation may be required. What is needed depends on the issue and the property setup.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn valve, seal, or flushing mechanism that lets water keep flowing into the bowl. It is often not urgent for safety, but it can waste a lot of water and sometimes points to a larger cistern issue. A plumber can identify the failed part onsite, confirm scope, and quote before completing the repair and testing function.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower should be assessed because the visible drip is not always the full problem. In many cases, the leak is linked to internal pipework, a failed mixer, or water tracking behind tiles, and that can lead to damage if left unattended. Fixed Today Plumbing can perform leak detection, confirm the source, then provide a fixed-price quote before repairs proceed.
Do you service the entire Bondi area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services the entire Bondi 2026 area as part of our Sydney-wide coverage. Attendance is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, and the nearest available licensed technician is assigned based on urgency and current bookings. If your building has access rules or limited parking, share that when booking so timing can be planned accurately.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using professional methods such as CCTV drain camera inspections and high-pressure water jetting, depending on what the line condition allows. Many blockages can be cleared in an initial visit when access is straightforward. If the camera shows cracked or collapsed pipework, the repair options, including relining, are explained and quoted once scope is established.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch, and for routine plumbing and gas enquiries we aim for same-day service when availability allows. An ETA is provided when booking, and updates are given where possible, but timing depends on current jobs, access constraints, and Sydney traffic. If you are in an apartment block, entry and parking details can affect arrival planning.
