Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing and all gas work in Canley Heights, a correctly licensed plumbing technician is the safest option because the job needs to meet safety requirements and avoid hidden water damage. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are licensed and insured plumbers in NSW. If the issue is urgent, an onsite assessment confirms the scope before work is quoted.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Canley Heights depends on the scope, access, parts required, and whether the work is after-hours or urgent. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and a fixed-price quote is provided before starting work once the issue is assessed. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles common Canley Heights plumbing work across drainage, hot water, gas, and general repairs. This includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, water heater work, gas leak testing and new gas connections, leaking taps, toilets, showers, and burst pipe repairs. If inspection finds a more complex issue, the options are explained and quoted once scope is defined.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend properties in Canley Heights to assess the issue onsite, then provide a fixed-price quote before we begin. This matters because access and pipework layouts vary between properties, and a correct quote depends on seeing the fault and confirming the scope. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures such as toilets, taps, and hot water systems, and licensed gas fitters work on gas appliances and pipework. In Canley Heights, this often includes diagnosing the cause of leaks or blockages and confirming the safest repair approach. Fixed Today Plumbing completes work to applicable Australian Standards and tests results before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs the internal cistern components checked and repaired or replaced, because worn parts can keep water flowing and increase bills. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cause onsite in Canley Heights and provide fixed, upfront pricing before completing the repair. If there is active overflow or water damage risk, stop using the toilet and book an urgent attendance.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often needs professional repair because the water source may be a fitting, seal, or a leak behind the wall that is not visible from the outside. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the shower in Canley Heights, confirm what is actually leaking, then provide a fixed-price quote before work begins. If water is escaping into walls or floors, urgent attendance helps limit damage.
Do you service the entire Canley Heights area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Canley Heights and the broader Sydney metropolitan regions. Localised dispatch points across Sydney help allocate the nearest available technician, and there is capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. For the smoothest booking, mention any access limits such as strata rules or parking restrictions.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Canley Heights using CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetting where suitable, so the cause can be confirmed rather than guessed. This covers many common internal and external blocked drain issues in accessible lines. If inspection shows a damaged or collapsed section, repair options such as structural repair or relining are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed on site.
How fast can you come?
For Canley Heights emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. Arrival time still depends on current bookings and traffic, so an ETA is provided and updated where possible. Same-day service is also available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
