Plumbing FAQ's in Clovelly
Plumbing problems are easier to manage when you know what will happen next. These Clovelly FAQs explain how Fixed Today Plumbing approaches assessment, fixed, upfront pricing, and urgent dispatch. If your situation is unclear, you do not need to diagnose it, a short call can confirm whether it should be treated as an emergency or booked as a same-day standard job.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Hiring a licensed and fully insured plumber is the safer option for most plumbing and gas issues in Clovelly because hidden leaks, drainage faults, and gas problems can cause property damage or safety risks if handled incorrectly. Fixed Today Plumbing uses licensed NSW technicians and confirms the scope onsite before quoting, so the repair method matches what is actually happening, not a guess based on symptoms.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work once the cause and access are confirmed onsite. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts. Cost can change based on access, parts required, and after-hours urgency. Ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies in Clovelly.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing in Clovelly and across Sydney, including blocked drains, leak detection, broken pipe repairs, water heater work, gas fitting, gutter and roof leak repairs, and general plumbing maintenance. The exact work recommended depends on what the onsite assessment finds, and any additional options are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Clovelly are quoted after an onsite assessment because accurate pricing depends on access, the affected area, and what is found during inspection. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the scope first, then provides a fixed price quote before work begins. If specialised diagnostics are needed, such as a drain camera or leak detection equipment, that is discussed as part of the assessment.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber repairs, installs, and maintains water and drainage systems in homes and businesses. That can include fixtures like toilets, taps, showers, and hot water units, plus pipework, drainage, and roof plumbing. In NSW, gas fitting work must be completed by a licensed and fully insured gas fitter. For many faults, the key first step is an onsite assessment to confirm the cause before pricing and repairs.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet usually means an internal valve or seal is not shutting off properly, which can waste a lot of water over time. The practical next action is to arrange a toilet repair so the faulty component can be identified and replaced correctly. If the toilet is overflowing or flooding, stop using it and book an urgent attendance so water damage can be limited.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be a simple fitting issue, or it can involve water escaping into wall or floor cavities, which is why it should be assessed rather than guessed. If water is getting outside the shower area or you can see damp patches, arrange a repair promptly to reduce the risk of damage. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm the source and quote once scope is clear.
Do you service the entire Clovelly area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Clovelly and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including the Eastern Suburbs. Emergency calls can be serviced within the broader Sydney service radius from base hubs, and standard plumbing and gas enquiries have same-day availability. Attendance time depends on current bookings and traffic, but the nearest available licensed trade technician is allocated and ETA updates are provided where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Clovelly and can also investigate the cause so the same blockage does not keep returning. The approach usually involves confirming the location and type of blockage, then clearing it using the suitable equipment for the line. If inspection shows a broken or damaged pipe, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is defined.
