Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage, and gas work in Bonnet Bay, hiring a licensed and comprehensively insured plumber is the safer option because faults can cause water damage, hygiene risks, or safety hazards. DIY work can also create compliance and warranty problems later. If you are unsure how serious the issue is, booking an assessment lets the scope be confirmed and fixed-price quoting done before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Bonnet Bay depends on the scope of work, access to the pipework, the parts required, and whether the job is urgent. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the price is confirmed after an onsite assessment and before work begins. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing services in Bonnet Bay, including blocked drains, leak detection, broken pipe repairs, toilet and tap repairs, roof and gutter leak work, hot water systems, and gas fitting. The right approach depends on what the onsite assessment finds, and options are explained clearly before any additional work proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Bonnet Bay to assess the job and provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is confirmed on site. Accurate pricing usually needs an onsite inspection because access, pipe condition, and the exact fault location can change the work required. When booking, ask whether a call-out fee applies for your address, as no call-out fee applies in many service areas (check specific suburb pages).
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses. In practical terms, that includes fixing leaks, restoring hot water, clearing drainage blockages, repairing toilets and taps, and completing regulated work like gas fitting when appropriately licensed. For any specific problem, the first step is confirming the cause onsite so the correct fix can be quoted.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running non-stop toilet usually means a seal or valve inside the cistern is not shutting off properly. The fastest way to prevent wasted water is to book a repair, because the correct fix depends on the toilet type and what has worn out. If the toilet is overflowing, avoid flushing and arrange urgent attendance so the fault can be made safe.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed because water can travel behind tiles or into walls before it becomes visible. The practical next step is to book an inspection so the leak source can be confirmed and a fixed-fee quote provided before repairs start. If the leak is linked to drainage or pipework outside the shower itself, the options are explained once the scope is clear.
Do you service the entire Bonnet Bay area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Bonnet Bay and the wider Sydney metropolitan regions, including the Sutherland Shire. For emergencies, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and urgent jobs are sent out first. Booking availability and arrival timing depend on current jobs, access, and traffic conditions.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Bonnet Bay, and the work is based on confirming what is causing the restriction before choosing the clearing method. In leafy areas, a common cause is root intrusion, but grease and debris build-up can also be involved. If inspection suggests damaged pipework, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is defined.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Bonnet Bay, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed plumbing technician is allocated from Sydney dispatch points. For standard enquiries, service the same day is available. An ETA is provided when booking where possible, and updates are communicated if conditions change.
