Plumbing FAQ's in Botany
These Botany plumbing FAQs cover what happens on an emergency callout, how pricing is handled, and when a problem needs urgent attention. Fixed Today Plumbing delivers 24/7 Emergency Service available 365 days a year, with immediate dispatch for emergencies from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Answers are general, and the attending duly licensed NSW plumber confirms the cause onsite before quoting.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For anything involving gas, sewer overflow, burst pipes, or a leak you cannot clearly access, a licensed plumbing technician (NSW) should attend because the risk of property damage or safety issues is higher. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting. The plumber will confirm the cause onsite and provide fixed, upfront pricing before work begins.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is found onsite, because access, parts required, and urgency can change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) once the work is confirmed, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
- Diagnosis and testing
- Access and location
- Parts required
- After-hours urgency
- Repair method needed
No hidden costs, and the price quoted is the price paid.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general domestic and commercial plumbing across Botany and the wider Sydney metro area. Work commonly includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, leak detection and burst pipe repairs, hot water system work, gutter and roof leaks, and licensed gas fitting. If inspection shows a more complex issue, options are explained and the scope is verified before any additional work proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. In the 2019 postcode, work is personally assessed onsite because accurate pricing depends on the actual cause, access, and what needs to be repaired. After diagnosis, you receive a fixed-price quote before we begin, with no hidden costs. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies to your Botany address.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and test water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. In an emergency, the job is usually to stop damage first, then confirm the cause and complete a compliant repair. For safety and legal reasons, gas fitting and many drainage repairs must be done by a fully licensed plumbing technician and gas fitter in NSW.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet usually means a seal, inlet valve, or internal mechanism is not shutting off correctly, and it can waste a lot of water or contribute to overflow. The simplest next step is to book a licensed and adequately insured plumber to inspect the cistern and confirm the exact part needed. Once the cause is confirmed, fixed, upfront pricing is provided before the repair is completed.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower is often caused by failed waterproofing, cracked grout, worn seals, or leaking pipework behind the wall, and the damage can spread without obvious surface signs. A plumber can perform leak identification to confirm the source before recommending repairs. Fixed Today Plumbing explains what was found onsite, then provides a fixed-price quote before we begin.
Do you service the entire Botany area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing serves the entire Botany area within the 2019 postcode and services all Sydney metropolitan regions. For urgent problems, plumbers are allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including hubs in West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse. Arrival timing depends on current jobs and traffic, and ETA updates are provided where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Botany using CCTV drain cameras to locate the blockage and high-pressure water jetting to remove debris where appropriate. This approach helps confirm whether the problem is a simple obstruction or a damaged pipe. If inspection shows structural issues, options such as repair or pipe relining are explained and quoted once scope is defined.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing arranges immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed and properly insured plumber is allocated. Same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, and clear arrival communication is provided, including ETA updates where possible.
