Plumber in Cromer

Fixed Today Plumbing has served Cromer and the wider Northern Beaches for over 15 years. We're a family-owned business with a multi-van fleet of licensed master plumbers and specialised technicians, backed by a near-perfect 5-star rating based on over 800 verified customer reviews. All attending technicians are licensed in NSW for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting (Licence 305428C), and we're fully insured with current Public Liability and Workers Compensation policies.

Our process is straightforward: onsite assessment using high-definition CCTV drain cameras or ultrasonic leak detection where needed, followed by a fixed-price quote with no hidden costs before work starts. You decide once scope is confirmed. We complete the installation or repair to Australian plumbing standards, then test the system and clean up the work area before leaving. This covers typical domestic and commercial jobs; if inspection reveals structural damage or compliance work, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding. All workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and manufacturer warranties apply to hardware and appliances.

We specialise in blocked drains, hot water systems (gas, electric, solar), gas leakage detection and new connections, burst pipe repairs, trenchless pipe lining, and general domestic and commercial plumbing. Our vehicles are fully stocked with premium parts, so we can complete most jobs in one visit. Whether you're a homeowner, property manager, or business operator, we treat your property with respect: boot covers or clean shoe covers when requested, drop sheets to protect floors, and clear communication at every step.

If you need a plumber in Cromer, whether it's an urgent callout or a planned repair, contact us on 1800 349 338 or book online. We provide upfront pricing, and the price quoted is the price you pay.

When a drain backs up in Cromer, the cause is often tree root intrusion in older terracotta or clay pipes, or Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) buildup in kitchen lines. Roots seek moisture and enter pipes through microscopic cracks, expanding over time and trapping debris until flow is restricted. In kitchens, FOG solidifies as it cools, narrowing the pipe diameter and catching solid waste. We start with a high-definition CCTV drain camera inspection to visually identify the blockage type, depth, and exact location within your property boundary, no guesswork, no invasive digging until we know what we're dealing with.

Once the obstruction is confirmed, we clear it using high-pressure jetting (hydro-jetting), which fires water at pressures between 3,000 and 5,000 PSI to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls. For metal or plastic foreign objects, we may use a mechanical electric eel. If the CCTV footage shows structural damage, cracks, joint separation, or pipe collapse—we explain the options (repair, excavation, or trenchless pipe relining) and provide a fixed-price quote for the additional work before proceeding. This covers typical internal and external blockages in accessible lines; if the fault is in Sydney Water's main or outside your property boundary, we coordinate the referral and confirm responsibility.

Cromer's tree-lined streets and established gardens contribute to root activity, particularly in properties built during the 1960s and 1970s when clay and terracotta were standard materials. If you're noticing slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or foul odours from floor wastes, book an inspection before the line backs up completely. We test flow rates after clearing to confirm the blockage is resolved, and if relining is needed, the new epoxy liner is structurally independent and carries a long-term warranty. All work is completed to Australian Standards, and we clean up the site before leaving.

Your roof and gutters are the first line of defence against water ingress. When gutters are blocked with leaves, silt, or debris, water overflows and pools near the foundation, risking structural damage, damp penetration, and erosion. In Cromer's established neighbourhoods, where mature trees overhang rooflines, gutter blockages are a regular maintenance issue, particularly after heavy rain or autumn leaf drop. We clear blockages, inspect downpipes for obstructions, and check that water flows freely to the stormwater system before leaving.

If the inspection reveals cracks, rust-through, or sagging sections, we explain the repair or replacement options and provide a fixed-price quote. Roof leaks often trace back to damaged flashing, cracked tiles, or deteriorated sealant around penetrations (vents, skylights, chimneys). We use thermal imaging and visual inspection to pinpoint the entry point, then repair or replace the affected components to restore weatherproofing. All roof and gutter work is completed to Australian plumbing standards, and we test water flow after repair to confirm the system is functioning correctly.

Regular gutter cleaning reduces the risk of overflow and extends the lifespan of your gutters and downpipes. We recommend annual inspections, particularly if your property has overhanging trees or is in a high-rainfall area. If you're noticing water stains on ceilings, damp patches on interior walls, or pooling near the foundation, book an inspection before the next storm. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

When a toilet in Cromer won't stop running, flushes weakly, or leaks at the base, the fault is usually a worn flapper valve, faulty fill valve, or deteriorated pan collar seal. A running toilet wastes hundreds of litres per day and drives up water bills. We diagnose the issue by inspecting the cistern internals and testing the flush mechanism: if water continues to flow into the bowl after flushing, the flapper valve isn't sealing; if the cistern refills constantly, the fill valve is stuck open or the float is misadjusted.

For blocked toilets, the obstruction is usually in the trap or the waste line immediately downstream. We clear it using a closet auger or hydro-jetting, depending on the blockage type and location. If the blockage is deeper in the sewer line or caused by structural issues (root intrusion, pipe collapse), we use CCTV check to confirm the fault and provide a flat-rate quote for the additional work before proceeding. This covers typical residential blockages in reachable pipes; if the fault is in Sydney Water's main, we coordinate the referral.

Leaks at the toilet base indicate a failed pan collar seal, which allows wastewater to seep onto the floor and under tiles. Left unchecked, this causes subfloor rot, mould growth, and foul odours. We remove the toilet, replace the pan collar and sealing ring, then reinstall and test for leaks. All toilet repairs are completed to meet Australian Standards and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're hearing constant water flow, noticing weak flushing, or seeing water pooling around the base, book a repair before the issue escalates.

A burst pipe is a plumbing emergency. It floods the property, damages finishes and belongings, and risks electrical hazards if water reaches switchboards or appliances. In Cromer properties, burst pipes are often caused by corrosion in aging galvanised steel or copper pipes (common in homes built before the 1980s), thermal expansion and contraction, or sudden pressure surges. If you're seeing water pooling on floors, ceilings, or walls, turn off the water at the mains, isolate electricity if water is near outlets or switchboards, and book an urgent callout.

We use ultrasonic leak identification equipment to pinpoint the burst location without invasive demolition, then isolate the affected section, cut out the damaged pipe, and replace it with durable, Australian Standards-compliant material (typically copper or PEX). If the burst is in an inaccessible location, under a slab, behind tiles, or inside a wall cavity, we explain the access options and provide a fixed-price quote for the additional work before proceeding. Once the repair is complete, we pressure-test the system to confirm it's holding, then restore water supply and check surrounding pipework for any additional leaks or corrosion.

For slow leaking pipes—where you're noticing damp patches, water stains, or rising water bills without an obvious cause—we use thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices to trace the leak, then assess whether localised repair or pipe replacement is the more durable option. All burst and leaking pipe repairs are completed to Australian Standards and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If you're seeing unexplained water damage or hearing water running when all taps are off, book an inspection before the leak escalates.

Fixed Today Plumbing handles a full range of general plumbing services in Cromer, including tap replacements, toilet installations, shower leak repairs, heating system maintenance, gas fitting, roofing and gutter inspections, and backflow prevention device testing. Whether you're renovating a bathroom, upgrading fixtures, or addressing a maintenance issue, we confirm the scope onsite, provide a fixed-price quote before starting work, and complete the job to Australian Standards.

For bathroom and kitchen renovations, we coordinate with builders and tilers to rough-in pipework, install fixtures, connect waste lines, and commission the system once finishes are complete. We carry premium tapware, mixers, and waste fittings in stock, or we can install customer-supplied fixtures if they meet Australian Standards. All installations are pressure-tested and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, with standard manufacturer warranties applying to hardware.

We also provide preventative maintenance services, including annual water heater checks, gutter cleaning, backflow device testing (required annually for properties with irrigation systems or commercial premises), and gas safety inspections. Regular maintenance reduces the risk of untimely failures and extends the lifespan of your plumbing systems. If you're planning a renovation, need a fixture replaced, or want to schedule routine maintenance, contact Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338 or book online.

Fixed Today Plumbing provides commercial plumbing services in Cromer, covering office buildings, retail premises, hospitality venues, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites. Commercial plumbing differs from residential work in scale, complexity, and regulatory requirements: systems are larger, downtime is costly, and compliance documentation is mandatory. We coordinate with facility managers, tenants, and contractors to schedule work around operational hours, minimise disruptions, and complete jobs to meet Australian Standards with full documentation for maintenance logs.

Common commercial plumbing issues include blocked drains in high-traffic areas (kitchens, bathrooms, carparks), hot water service service failures affecting multiple tenants, burst pipes in ceiling voids or sub-floors, and gas fitting for commercial kitchens or heating systems. We use drain inspection cameras and hydro-jetting to clear blockages, assess hot water systems for repair or replacement, and use ultrasonic leak detection to pinpoint burst pipes without invasive demolition. All work is completed to AS/NZS 3500 standards, and we issue compliance certificates where required.

For planned maintenance, we provide scheduled inspections, backflow device testing (required annually for commercial premises), hot water unit servicing, and drainage audits to identify potential issues before they cause downtime. We also handle emergency callouts 24/7, with urgent jobs sent out first from our local dispatch points. All commercial work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and we're fully insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation.

If you're managing a commercial property in Cromer and need a properly licensed plumbing technician for planned maintenance or an emergency callout, contact Fixed Today Plumbing on 1800 349 338.
