Plumbing FAQ's in Brighton-Le-Sands
These Brighton-Le-Sands plumbing FAQs explain what usually happens on a visit, what affects price and timing, and when a problem should be treated as urgent. If you are unsure how serious your issue is, a quick call helps us book the right licensed technician and confirm what to expect on arrival.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, most plumbing and all gas work should be handled by a licensed professional in Brighton-Le-Sands, because incorrect repairs can cause water damage, safety risks, and compliance problems later. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW plumbers, and the issue is assessed onsite so the the scope is confirmed before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Brighton-Le-Sands depends on what is found onsite, how easy the fault is to access, and what parts are needed. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote after the scope is clarified and before work begins. After-hours emergencies can change the total.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting services in Brighton-Le-Sands, covering common issues such as blocked drains, hot water repairs, leaks, toilets, showers, gutter and roof leaks, and gas leak detection. If the inspection shows a larger underlying fault, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is defined.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. Jobs in the 2216 area are assessed onsite before a quote is issued, because pricing over the phone can miss key details like access, pipe condition, and where the leak or blockage actually is. After the assessment, Fixed Today Plumbing delivers a fixed-price quote before starting work, and quotes are valid for one month.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures, including toilets, taps, showers, hot water service systems, and pipework. Licensed plumbers can also diagnose leaks and drainage problems using specialist tools. In NSW, gas work must be completed by a licensed gas fitter, which Fixed Today Plumbing provides.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn inlet or outlet valve, or a seal that is no longer seating properly. If water is flowing continuously and you can safely turn off the toilet isolation valve, it can reduce waste while you book a repair. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the faulty part onsite and provides fixed upfront pricing before proceeding.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly, because ongoing moisture can damage adjoining rooms and finishes. The cause might be a worn fitting, a seal failure, or pipework leaking behind the wall, and the correct repair depends on what is found onsite. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the source first, then provides a fixed-price quote before starting repairs.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Brighton-Le-Sands using an onsite assessment to confirm the blockage location and the safest clearing method for the pipe.
