Plumbing FAQ's in Box Hill
Plumbing problems are disruptive, and it is normal to want clear answers before booking. These are common questions we hear from Box Hill property owners and tenants, with plain-English explanations of what affects urgency, access, and pricing. If your situation is different, a quick call can confirm whether it needs emergency attendance or a same-day booking.
Do I really need a duly licensed plumbing technician in Box Hill?
Yes, a properly licensed plumbing technician is the safest option for plumbing, drainage, and gas work in Box Hill because faults can involve water damage risk, hygiene issues, and safety requirements. Fixed Today Plumbing sends attending technicians who are licensed plumbers in NSW, and the work is completed to applicable Australian Standards. If the issue is minor, it is still assessed and quoted before any work starts.
What affects the cost of a plumbing job?
The price mainly depends on confirmed scope, access to the affected pipework, the parts required, and whether the job is urgent after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts once the problem is assessed onsite. Ask about call-out fee status for Box Hill when booking.
What plumbing services can Fixed Today Plumbing do in Box Hill?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Box Hill, including blocked drains and sewer repairs, ruptured pipe repairs and water leak detection, water heater work (gas, electric, solar), and licensed gas fitting. The job type and scope are confirmed onsite, then a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts so you can approve the work with clear inclusions.
Do you need to inspect the problem before giving a price?
Yes, most plumbing faults in Box Hill need an onsite inspection because access, pipe materials, and the fault location change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing carries out an assessment first, then provides a flat-rate quote with no surprise charges before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you have time to make an informed decision.
What should I expect during a plumbing visit?
A standard plumbing visit involves confirming the affected area, explaining what is causing the issue in plain English, and providing a fixed price quote before work begins. Technicians arrive in uniform, confirm identity on arrival, and take reasonable care to protect floors and finishes. The repair or installation is tested where practical, and the work area is left clean and tidy.
My toilet keeps running, is it urgent?
A toilet that keeps running should be booked in because it can waste significant water and sometimes indicates a failing internal valve or a leak into the bowl. If there is water leaking onto the floor or into nearby areas, it can become urgent due to water damage risk. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Box Hill jobs with same-day service for standard enquiries, and emergency service calls are dispatched first.
My shower is leaking, do you fix that in Box Hill?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing handles shower leaks and blocked shower drains in Box Hill, with the leak source confirmed first so the correct repair is done. Shower leaks matter because ongoing moisture can damage cabinetry, wall linings, and subfloors over time. Once the fault is assessed, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts, and the shower is checked for proper operation after the repair.

Can you clear blocked drains in Box Hill?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Box Hill, starting with an onsite assessment to confirm what is restricting flow. This typically covers common household blockages in accessible lines, and if inspection indicates damaged pipework, the repair options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed onsite.
