Plumbing FAQ's in Caringbah
These Caringbah plumbing FAQs explain what an emergency plumber does, what affects timing and cost, and what happens before starting work. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency services for domestic and commercial clients, and emergencies receive immediate dispatch, but the repair approach and price are only confirmed after an onsite assessment of the fault and access.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing in Caringbah, it is safest to book a NSW-licensed and adequately insured plumber when the issue involves gas, sewage, hidden leaks, or anything that could damage the property if it goes wrong. DIY attempts can create safety risks and may complicate later repairs. All attending technicians from Fixed Today Plumbing are properly licensed plumbers in NSW, so the work is completed to applicable standards and verified before leaving.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the job scope that is confirmed onsite, plus 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 you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date issued, and you can confirm call-out fee status when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting services in Caringbah and across Sydney. This includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, pipe relining, hot water system repairs and installations, gas leak detection and new connections, broken pipe repairs, leak detection, toilet repairs, and gutter and roof leak solutions. If inspection shows extra damage, options are explained and quoted once scope is defined.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in the 2229 postcode are assessed onsite so the cause and scope are confirmed before pricing is set. After diagnosing the issue, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. If the assessment shows the fault is bigger than expected, the next steps are explained clearly and quoted once you have agreed on the scope.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and test the systems that bring water in, remove wastewater, and supply gas to appliances. In NSW, plumbing, drainage, and gas work should be completed by licensed tradespeople because incorrect work can create safety risks and future leaks. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers to Caringbah jobs, and work is tested and verified before the technician leaves.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet is usually caused by worn internal parts in the cistern or a flush system that is not sealing correctly. It is often straightforward to repair, but it can waste a lot of water and can sometimes lead to overflow problems. A licensed plumbing professional can replace the faulty components, confirm correct operation, and check there are no hidden leaks around the toilet base.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower often needs proper leak detection because the water source can be behind tiles, under the shower base, or in pipework in the wall. If it is left untreated, it can lead to swelling cabinetry, damaged plaster, and mould. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the shower area onsite, explain what is likely causing the leak, and provide fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is confirmed onsite.
Do you service the entire Caringbah area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Caringbah NSW 2229 and the wider Sutherland Shire as part of our coverage across all Sydney metropolitan regions. We dispatch from localised points across Sydney, including Dolans Bay, and send the nearest available properly licensed plumber to your address. Availability and arrival timing depend on current bookings, traffic, and property access, which is confirmed when booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Caringbah using professional diagnostics and clearing equipment. A camera inspection can be used to confirm what is causing the blockage, and high-pressure jetting is commonly used to restore flow. If the pipe is damaged, options such as structural repair or drain relining may be recommended, and the fixed-price quote is provided once scope is clarified.

For emergencies in Caringbah, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available fully licensed plumbing technician is allocated. Same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries where availability allows. An ETA is provided when booking, and we provide ETA updates where possible, noting timing can change with traffic and earlier emergencies.
