Plumbing FAQ's in Dobroyd Point
Plumbing emergencies can escalate quickly, and urgent issues rarely wait for business hours. To help you make an informed decision, we've compiled answers to common questions from Dobroyd Point residents. If you need further assistance, call 1800 349 338 for immediate support.
Should I attempt DIY plumbing repairs or hire a licensed professional?
DIY plumbing carries significant risk. Incorrect work can void home warranties, cause water damage, or create safety hazards that complicate future inspections. All plumbing and gas work in NSW must be performed by a licensed professional to comply with Australian Standards and insurance requirements. Always hire a NSW-correctly licensed NSW plumber for repairs, installations, and gas work.
How much does emergency plumbing cost in Dobroyd Point?
Emergency plumbing costs depend on the scope of work, access requirements, parts needed, and time on site. Fixed Today provides upfront fixed pricing once scope is confirmed onsite onsite, so you know exactly what you'll pay before starting work. The price is by the job, not by the hour, and there are no hidden costs. Confirm the call-out fee status when booking.
What types of plumbing work can Fixed Today handle?
Fixed Today handles the full range of plumbing work, including blocked drains, burst pipes, hot water systems, leaking taps, gutter and roof leaks, shower and toilet repairs, gas fitting, drain relining, leak identification, and strata plumbing. We service residential, commercial, and strata properties across the Inner West.
Do you provide quotes over the phone or do you come to the property?
For accurate pricing, we assess the issue onsite. Telephone estimates risk inaccuracies because scope cannot be confirmed without inspecting the affected area, access conditions, and existing pipework. We provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is confirmed, and you decide whether to proceed once the price is clear.
What does a licensed and insured plumbing technician do?
Licensed plumbers install, repair, and maintain water supply systems, drainage systems, sewer lines, gas installations, and fixtures such as taps, toilets, showers, and hot water systems. They work to Australian plumbing standards and hold the necessary licences to perform plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting work legally and safely.
How do I stop my toilet from running continuously?
A toilet that keeps running after flushing usually indicates a faulty flush valve, worn flapper, or damaged fill valve inside the cistern. While the repair is typically cost-effective, it requires proper diagnosis and replacement of the correct parts. Book a licensed plumbing professional to assess the issue and provide a fixed-price quote for the repair.
My shower is leaking. How do I stop it?
Shower leaks can originate from the showerhead, mixer valve, grout joints, or failed waterproofing beneath the shower base. The source must be identified before the repair can be scoped accurately. Fixed Today's plumbers assess the issue onsite, explain what's involved, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work.
Do you service the entire Dobroyd Point area?

Can you unblock drains in Dobroyd Point?
Yes, our plumbers are trained in diagnosing and clearing blocked drains using high-definition CCTV drain cameras and hydro jetting. We locate the blockage, confirm the cause, clear the obstruction, and recommend preventative measures where appropriate to reduce the likelihood of future blockages.
