Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing work in Cammeray, hiring a licensed plumbing technician is the safer option. Plumbing, drainage, and gas work can create property damage or safety risks if it is not done correctly, and some work requires compliance documentation. If the issue is minor, we can still assess it quickly, confirm the scope, and provide fixed, upfront pricing before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
The cost depends on what is actually required once the scope is verified onsite. Price usually changes with access, the parts needed, how much pipework is affected, and whether the job is urgent after-hours. Fixed Today uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and you receive a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before starting work.
What type of plumbing can be done?

Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, many jobs in Cammeray need an onsite assessment before accurate pricing can be given. A phone description helps with booking the right technician, but the final quote is provided after the issue is inspected and the the scope is confirmed. Fixed Today provides a fixed price quote before starting work, and our team can confirm whether a call-out fee applies when you book.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water and drainage systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixtures like taps, toilets, showers, and hot water systems, and it can also include drainage and gas fitting when properly licensed. In practice, the most valuable part is the diagnosis and verification, confirming what is actually causing the problem, then testing the outcome after repairs.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs a plumber to inspect the cistern components and confirm whether the inlet valve, flush valve, or seals are failing. It is often a straightforward repair once the cause is identified, but the exact parts depend on the toilet model and condition. If the toilet is overflowing or leaking onto the floor, stop using it and book an urgent assessment.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed because the visible drip is not always the main problem. Water can track into cabinetry or wall linings, which can create damage over time. Fixed Today can inspect the fittings and surrounding plumbing, explain what is causing the leak, and provide fixed, upfront pricing before repairs begin. If the leak is active, book an urgent visit.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Cammeray and can also investigate the cause when the blockage keeps returning. Where suitable, diagnosis can include CCTV drain CCTV check, followed by clearing using high-pressure jetting.
