Plumbing FAQ's in Breakfast Point
These are practical answers to common plumbing questions we hear from Breakfast Point residents and property managers. If your situation is urgent or you are unsure what is happening, the safest option is to book a licensed and insured plumber so the cause can be confirmed onsite and the right fix can be quoted upfront.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Most plumbing and all gas fitting work should be handled by a licensed professional because incorrect repairs can cause leaks, water damage, or safety risks. For properties in Breakfast Point, strata rules and shared services can also affect what work can be done and who is responsible. A licensed, insured plumber can confirm the scope onsite and provide fixed upfront pricing before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs depend on what is found during the onsite assessment, how accessible the pipework is, and whether parts are needed. After-hours urgency can also affect pricing. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the price is confirmed in a fixed-price quote before work starts, and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general plumbing plus specialist services across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, drain relining, CCTV inspections, hot water supply installation and repair, gas fitting, leak testing, toilets, showers, and roof and gutter leaks. The right service is confirmed after the onsite diagnosis, then a fixed-price quote is provided before any work begins.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. For most jobs in Breakfast Point, the scope needs an onsite assessment so the problem can be located properly and the correct repair can be quoted. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed price quote with no surprise charges before work starts, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. If access is restricted by strata or intercom entry, share that when booking so the visit runs smoothly.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses. That includes pipes, taps, toilets, showers, hot water service systems, and drains. In NSW, gas work must be completed by a licensed and comprehensively insured gas fitter, which is why licensing matters when booking. The attending technician should be able to explain the scope and confirm the price before starting.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a fault inside the cistern that prevents the seal from closing properly, which can waste a lot of water over time. The most reliable fix is an onsite repair so the correct parts are replaced and the toilet is tested for proper operation. If the toilet is overflowing or leaking externally, book an urgent plumber to limit water damage.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often needs an onsite inspection because water can escape from seals, tapware, or concealed pipework and show up somewhere else. The practical next action is to book a licensed plumbing specialist to confirm the cause and quote upfront based on the confirmed scope. If the leak is actively damaging nearby rooms or ceilings, treat it as urgent and arrange an emergency visit.
Do you service the entire Breakfast Point area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services Breakfast Point and the wider Inner West and Sydney metro areas. Capacity also extends up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, depending on current workload. If your property is in a strata building, mention access and parking conditions when booking so the attending fully licensed technician can be scheduled appropriately.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using high-definition CCTV inspection equipment to identify the blockage and hydro jetting (hydro-jetting) to remove debris. This approach helps confirm the cause rather than relying on guesswork. If inspection shows structural damage to the pipe, repair options like relining can be discussed and quoted once scope is confirmed on site.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch for emergencies and service the same day available for all routine plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, access requirements, and traffic conditions, but we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. If your site has strata access windows or basement parking limits, share that early so timing can be planned accurately.
