Plumbing FAQ's in Cromer
Plumbing problems are inconvenient, and an emergency can feel hard to manage because you do not know what it will cost or how quickly help can arrive. These FAQs explain how emergency and general plumbing bookings in Cromer usually work, what affects pricing, and what to expect on the day. If your question is not covered, call 1800 349 338 and we will help you book the right type of job.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Hiring a fully licensed NSW plumber is the safest option for emergencies, gas work, drainage issues, and anything that could cause water damage. DIY attempts can create safety risks and can make the final repair larger if pipework, fittings, or seals are damaged. If you are unsure, book an assessment so the scope can be confirmed and priced properly before work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs depend on the scope, access, the parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing that is priced by the job, not by the hour, and you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts once the scope is confirmed. No call-out fee applies for many service areas, so confirm the call-out fee status for Cromer when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Cromer. Services include blocked drains, sewer repairs, drain relining, CCTV inspections, hot water service repairs and installations, leaking taps, toilets, burst pipes, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. Where the issue is complex, the the scope is confirmed onsite first so the quote matches the actual work required.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is usually required for an accurate fixed-price quote in Cromer because access, pipe layout, and the exact fault location change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the affected area first, then provides fixed, upfront pricing before we start. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, which gives you time to decide once the cause is confirmed.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. This can include fixing leaks, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, installing hot water systems, and completing licensed gas fitting work. When work is regulated, it must be performed by a licensed tradesperson and may require compliance documentation after the job is completed.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually means a worn inlet valve, a faulty flush valve, or a seal that is no longer holding properly. The main risk is ongoing water loss, and in some cases a slow leak that damages the floor around the pan. A plumber can confirm the cause quickly and provide a fixed-fee quote before replacing any parts.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because water can travel behind tiles, into wall cavities, or under flooring without being obvious straight away. The right fix depends on whether the leak is from a fitting, the plumbing behind the wall, or drainage. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the area and quote upfront once the scope is established.
Do you service the entire Cromer area?
Yes, Cromer is within Fixed Today Plumbing's Sydney metropolitan service area. We operate from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse, and allocate the next available technician for your booking. Emergency support is available 24/7, and same day service is available for routine plumbing and gas enquiries.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Cromer using CCTV drain cameras to confirm what is causing the restriction, then clearing methods such as hydro jetting. This approach matters because it helps confirm whether the problem is a simple blockage or damaged pipework. If inspection shows structural issues, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is verified.
How fast can you come?

The attending technician is allocated based on who is closest and available from our Sydney dispatch points, and we provide ETA updates where possible. Arrival timing can vary with traffic and existing emergency bookings, so an ETA is confirmed when you call.
