Plumbing FAQ's in Canley Vale
Plumbing problems are rarely convenient, and it is normal to want clear answers before booking. These FAQs cover what Canley Vale customers commonly ask, including pricing, arrival expectations, and what happens on the first visit. If your situation is urgent, call and we will confirm urgency and book the right licensed field technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Most plumbing and all gas work is safest handled by a licensed and insured plumber because mistakes can cause water damage, safety risks, and non-compliant work. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers (NSW) to Canley Vale jobs. If an onsite assessment shows the problem is simple, it can often be resolved quickly. If the scope is larger, options are explained and quoted before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the affected area, 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 before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and there are no hidden costs.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Canley Vale. Common work includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, broken pipe repairs and leak detection, water heater installation and repairs (gas, electric, solar), roof and gutter leaks, tap and toilet repairs, and licensed gas fitting. If the assessment finds a specialised repair is needed, the options are explained and quoted once confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs need an site assessment before accurate pricing is possible because access, the cause of the fault, and the repair scope can only be confirmed at the property. Fixed Today Plumbing completes an assessment first, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden costs before we begin. If you are booking for Canley Vale and want clarity on call-out fees, ask when booking.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. That includes diagnosing leaks, clearing blockages, repairing broken pipes, fitting toilets and taps, and working on hot water services. In NSW, gas fitting and drainage work also requires the correct licensing. Fixed Today Plumbing attends with properly licensed plumbers in NSW and completes work to applicable Australian Standards.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A continuously running toilet usually indicates a faulty inlet valve, flush valve, or seal, and it can waste a lot of water quickly. A licensed plumber can diagnose the cause and replace the correct parts without guesswork. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Canley Vale to assess the toilet, confirm whether the issue is isolated to the cistern or related to drainage, then provide a fixed-price quote before repairs start.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early because water can cause damage behind tiles and into wall cavities before it becomes apparent. A licensed plumbing professional can confirm whether the leak is from the plumbing connection, the waste, or the fixture itself. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Canley Vale, assess the source onsite, then provide a fixed-price quote before any repair starts.
Do you service the entire Canley Vale area?
Yes, Canley Vale is within Fixed Today Plumbing's Sydney metropolitan service area, including South West Sydney. For emergency calls, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, and urgent jobs are dispatched first. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic, and ETA updates are provided where possible once your booking is confirmed.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and completes sewer repairs, including CCTV inspections and high-pressure water jetting where suitable. The first step is confirming what is blocking the line and where it is located, because that affects the method and the final scope. Once the blockage is confirmed, you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, with options explained if pipe damage is found.
How fast can you come?
For Canley Vale emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed trade technician is allocated from Sydney dispatch points, including West Sydney. Same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. An ETA is provided when booking where possible, and timing can vary with existing jobs and traffic conditions.
