Plumbing FAQ's in Busby
Plumbing problems can feel urgent, especially when water is leaking or a drain is backing up. These are practical answers to common questions we hear from people in Busby 2168. If your situation is different, the most helpful next stage is to book an onsite assessment so the scope can be confirmed and fixed, upfront pricing can be provided before any work starts.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In NSW, plumbing, drainage, and gas work should be completed by a licensed professional because mistakes can create safety risks and property damage. A plumber can also confirm what is actually causing the issue before anything is repaired or replaced. If an inspection shows a simple fix, it is quoted clearly. If it is more complex, options are explained once the scope is finalised.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work, access to the fault, the parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you can see the total price before we start. Ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies to your address and time.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general plumbing plus specialist work such as blocked drains, sewer repairs, CCTV inspections, pipe relining, leak detection, hot water systems, and licensed gas fitting. The right solution depends on what is found onsite, so an initial assessment is used to confirm the cause, access, and scope. A flat-rate quote is then provided before work begins.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. For properties in Busby 2168, an onsite inspection is used to confirm the fault location, access, and the work required, because accurate pricing relies on the actual scope. Once that is confirmed, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote with no surprise charges before we begin. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain, and repair water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses. That includes things like fixing leaks, clearing blockages, repairing toilets and taps, and installing hot water systems. In NSW, licensed plumbers can also complete regulated drainage and gas fitting work. The exact work depends on what is found during an assessment of your property.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal valve or a fault in the cistern components, and it often needs a repair kit matched to the model. If water is overflowing, turn off the water supply only if you can do so safely, then book a properly licensed NSW plumber. Once inspected, the repair is quoted upfront so you can decide based on confirmed scope.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be a plumbing fault in a fitting, or water tracking behind tiles, and the right fix depends on which one it is. If the leak is active and causing damage, arrange an assessment so it can be made safe and repaired. After the cause is confirmed onsite, the scope is explained and fixed, upfront pricing is provided before any work starts.
Do you service the entire Busby area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Busby 2168. For urgent jobs, the nearest available technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including hubs in West Sydney and Ruse.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also handles structural pipe repair where inspection shows damage. A CCTV drain camera is used to locate the blockage, then high-pressure water jetting is commonly used to restore flow. If the camera shows a broken or collapsed section, repair options such as relining are explained and quoted once scope and access are confirmed.
