Plumbing FAQs in Canada Bay
Plumbing problems are rarely convenient, and emergencies add pressure fast. These are questions we often hear from Canada Bay locals who want clear expectations about timing, pricing, and what happens once a plumber arrives.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergency plumbing in Canada Bay, hiring a licensed plumbing technician is usually the safest option. Burst pipes, sewer overflows and any gas-related issue can create property damage or safety risk quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing uses an onsite diagnosis first, then provides a fixed-price quote before repairs start, so you are not guessing what is involved or what it will cost.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the fault, 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 receive a fixed-price quote after the site assessment and before work starts. If the scope changes, the revised price is confirmed first.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Canada Bay and the wider Sydney metro. This includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, ruptured pipe repairs and leak detection, hot water service repairs and installations, licensed gas fitting, and common household repairs like toilets, taps, showers, and roof or gutter leak work. Each job is quoted upfront after diagnosis.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most work in Canada Bay is quoted after an onsite assessment because photos or a phone description cannot confirm the cause, access, or what has been affected. The attending technician diagnoses first and then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before any work begins. You can then decide whether to proceed once the scope is clear.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. In practical terms, that includes finding leaks, clearing blockages, repairing toilets and taps, installing hot water systems, and completing regulated gas work when licensed to do so. For emergency work, the focus is to make it safe first, then confirm the cause and repair scope.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running usually means an internal valve or seal is not closing properly, so water continues to refill the cistern. If the toilet will not stop running, is overflowing, or the base is leaking, arrange an inspection because water damage and wasted water can add up quickly. Once assessed, a fixed-price quote is provided before repairs start.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early because water can track behind tiles, into walls, or into the ceiling below before you see obvious damage. If the leak is constant, spreading, or affecting nearby rooms, book a plumber to confirm the source and access. Fixed Today Plumbing will inspect first, then provide a fixed-price quote before any repair work begins.
Do you service the entire Canada Bay area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Canada Bay 2046 and all Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergencies we provide immediate dispatch, and we also have same day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Because call-out arrangements vary, it is worth confirming at booking time whether a call-out fee applies to your specific Canada Bay address and time.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also handles structural pipe repair when the blockage is a symptom of pipe damage. Diagnostics can include camera inspection equipment, and clearing can include high-pressure jetting, depending on what the line allows. If inspection shows a collapsed or severely damaged section, the repair options are explained and quoted once confirmed.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Canada Bay, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are allocated first and the nearest available licensed technician is sent from Sydney dispatch points. An ETA is provided when booking and updated where possible, but arrival timing depends on current jobs and traffic conditions. Same-day service is available for standard enquiries.
