Plumbing FAQ's in Canley Vale
These are practical questions we hear from people in Canley Vale when something goes wrong and they need clear answers. The aim is to explain what usually happens next, what changes the price or timing, and how booking works for urgent jobs.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies and anything involving gas, hidden leaks, or sewer overflows, booking a licensed plumber is the safer option. Plumbing faults can cause property damage quickly, and regulated work needs to meet Australian Standards. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the situation onsite, explain the scope, and provide fixed, upfront pricing before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, because access, parts, and after-hours urgency can change what is required. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you see the full price once the problem is assessed. Many areas have no call-out fee, so ask us to confirm Canley Vale call-out details when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing completes general domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Canley Vale. Work commonly includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, burst pipe repairs and leak identification, hot water system repair and replacement, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. If inspection shows additional issues, options are explained and quoted once the scope is agreed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite inspection is normally required to quote accurately in Canley Vale, especially for leaks, drainage problems, and hot water supply issues. The cause is not always visible, and access can change what is involved. After the assessment confirms the scope, we provide a fixed-price quote before we start, with no hidden fees.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber repairs, replaces, and maintains water and drainage systems in homes and businesses. This can include fixing leaks, clearing drains, repairing toilets and taps, and installing hot water systems. In NSW, gas fitting also requires a properly licensed gas fitter. When the job is regulated, compliance documentation is provided where required after work is completed.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually indicates worn internal parts that need repair, and it can waste a significant amount of water if left unresolved. The most reliable fix is an onsite repair so the inlet valve and flush valve can be checked and replaced if required. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm the fault first, then provide fixed, upfront pricing before starting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from tapware, seals, or water escaping behind the wall, and the correct repair depends on where the leak starts. If water is actively leaking, it is worth booking a plumber promptly to limit damage. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm the source onsite, explain the options, and provide fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is clear.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Canley Vale using diagnostic tools such as CCTV drain cameras and clearing equipment such as high-pressure water jetting where suitable.
