Plumbing FAQ's in Cronulla Beach
If you're hiring a plumber in Cronulla Beach for the first time, you probably have questions about the process, pricing, and what to expect. We've answered the most common questions below. If your question isn't here, call us anytime on 1800 349 338.
Should I hire a skilled plumbing professional or attempt a DIY repair?
DIY plumbing repairs can be dangerous and may void warranties on your property or fixtures. Unlicensed work can also create compliance issues during building inspections. It's always safer and more reliable to hire a licensed plumbing professional in Cronulla Beach for any plumbing work.
How much does plumbing cost in Cronulla Beach?
Plumbing costs depend on the scope of work, access constraints, parts required, and time on site. We provide a fixed-price quote after assessing the job onsite, and the price quoted is the price you pay. There are no hidden fees added at the end. If you're dealing with an emergency, we won't overcharge like some providers.
What plumbing services do you offer in Cronulla Beach?
We handle all plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting work, including blocked drains, hot water system installations and repairs, leaking taps, gutter and roof repairs, shower repairs, toilet repairs, gas fitting, ruptured pipe repairs, strata plumbing, and commercial plumbing. If it involves water, gas, or drainage, we can help.
Do you provide quotes over the phone or do you need to visit the property?
All jobs in the 2230 postcode need to be assessed onsite before we can provide an accurate fixed-fee quote. Quoting over the phone is risky because we can't see the scope, access constraints, or existing condition. We'll come out, assess the job, and provide an upfront quote before any work starts.
What do plumbers actually do?
Plumbers are licensed tradespeople who specialise in installing, repairing, and maintaining water supply systems, drainage systems, and gas systems. This includes everything from fixing leaking taps and clearing blocked drains to installing hot water supply systems, repairing burst pipes, and connecting gas appliances.
How do I stop my toilet from running continuously?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn flapper valve or faulty fill valve inside the cistern. If turning off the water supply behind the toilet doesn't stop the flow, the internal components need to be replaced. Toilet repairs are typically straightforward and cost-effective when handled by a licensed plumbing specialist.
My shower is leaking. Can you repair it?
Yes. Shower leaks are usually caused by failed grout or silicone seals, deteriorated waterproof membranes, or leaking mixer taps. We assess the shower onsite, identify the cause, and provide a fixed-price quote for the repair. Most shower leak repairs are completed within a few hours.
Do you service the entire Cronulla Beach area?
Yes. Fixed Today services the entire 2230 postcode as well as the surrounding Sutherland Shire suburbs. We dispatch from our West Sydney hub and can reach most of the Shire within typical response windows. We also travel up to 60 km from our base for emergency callouts.
Can you unblock drains in Cronulla Beach?
Yes. We use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to locate the blockage and identify the cause, then clear the line using hydro jetting. This removes tree roots, grease buildup, and other obstructions. If the inspection shows structural damage, we explain whether pipe relining or excavation is required.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Cronulla Beach?
Urgent jobs are dispatched immediately from our West Sydney hub, and an ETA is provided when you book. Arrival timing depends on current job load and traffic conditions, but we prioritise emergencies to minimise property damage and safety risks. For active leaks or gas smells, call us immediately on 1800 349 338.
