Plumber Emerton

We've been operating across Sydney for over 15 years, building a near-perfect 5-star rating from more than 800 verified customer reviews. That reputation comes from doing what we say: arriving when expected, explaining what's involved before starting, quoting a fixed price with no hidden fees, and backing the work with a Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship. For Emerton properties, we dispatch from our West Sydney hub, and we provide arrival updates where possible so you're not left waiting without communication.

All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW and have completed police and background checks. They arrive in uniform, confirm their identity at the door, and follow your entry instructions carefully. We use drop sheets and boot covers to protect floors and finished surfaces, and we clean up the work area before leaving, not just at the end, but throughout the job when working in occupied homes. If you have specific access requirements (restricted time windows, security protocols, or strata sign-in procedures), let us know when booking and we'll coordinate accordingly.

Our pricing model is fixed and upfront: you receive a quote based on the confirmed scope before any work proceeds, and the price is by the job, not by the hour. That means no surprises when the invoice arrives. If inspection reveals additional issues beyond the original scope, we explain the options and provide a separate quote for your approval before proceeding. You're in control of what gets done and what it costs. We also provide documentation suitable for agents, strata, and business records, including compliance certificates for regulated work where required.

As a family-owned business, we're accountable to the local community. We don't subcontract work to unlicensed operators, and we don't disappear after the job is done. If you need follow-up support or have questions about the work completed, you can reach the same team. Whether it's a minor tap repair, a full hot water replacement, or an urgent gas leak callout, we treat every job with the same level of care and professionalism. For general plumbing services or specialist work, call 1800 349 338 or send an enquiry online.

A burst or leaking pipe requires immediate professional attention to stop water damage and restore safe operation. Fixed Today Plumbing handles leaking pipes across Emerton by isolating the affected section, locating the exact leak point using electronic ultrasonic detection (for hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs), then repairing or replacing the damaged section. This covers accessible copper, PVC, and galvanised steel pipework; if the leak is in an inaccessible location or involves structural penetration, we explain access options and confirm scope before proceeding.

What typically causes a pipe to burst or leak? In older Emerton homes built during the 1970s and 1980s, we often see corrosion in galvanised steel pipes (common in that era) or pinhole leaks in copper due to water chemistry or ground movement. In newer builds, leaks usually trace back to poor installation, over-tightened fittings, or accidental damage during renovations. If left unaddressed, even a small leak can cause significant water damage to flooring, walls, and subfloor structures, and it wastes water continuously.

On arrival, we confirm the leak location, assess the extent of damage, and determine whether a repair (re-soldering a joint, replacing a short section) or a full line replacement is the most durable solution. We test the repair under normal operating pressure before leaving to ensure it holds. For leaks that have caused visible water damage, we can document the affected area and provide photos suitable for insurance claims or landlord records.

If you notice damp patches on walls or ceilings, unexplained water pooling, or a sudden drop in water pressure, it's worth booking an inspection before the issue escalates. We arrive with leak detection equipment and a fully stocked mobile workshop, so most repairs can be completed on the first visit. Our work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and we provide clear documentation of what was done. For urgent leaks causing active water damage, call our 24/7 emergency line on 1800 349 338 for immediate dispatch.

A dripping tap wastes water and increases your bill, but it's usually a straightforward fix: we identify the cause (worn washer, damaged O-ring, corroded valve seat, or faulty cartridge), replace the failed component, and verify the tap operates smoothly without leaking. This covers standard mixer taps, separate hot/cold taps, and laundry or outdoor taps; if the tap body or spout is cracked or corroded beyond repair, we explain replacement options and confirm scope before proceeding.

What causes a tap to leak? Over time, internal components (washers, O-rings, ceramic disc cartridges) wear out from repeated use and water pressure. In areas with hard water, mineral buildup can corrode valve seats or jam cartridges, making the tap difficult to turn off completely. The result is a constant drip or a tap that won't fully close. Left unattended, the leak can damage benchtops, erode grout, and waste thousands of litres annually.

We arrive with a range of replacement washers, cartridges, and O-rings to suit most tap brands and models, so repairs are typically completed on the first visit. For older or uncommon tap designs, we may need to order a specific part; in that case, we explain the lead time and can provide a temporary fix to stop the leak until the correct component arrives. We test the tap under normal operating pressure before leaving to ensure it seals completely and operates smoothly.

If you're dealing with a persistent drip or a tap that's become stiff and difficult to operate, a short call is enough to book a repair. We'll assess the tap, confirm what's needed, and provide a fixed quote before starting the work. Tap repairs are typically cost-effective, and stopping the leak now prevents long-term water waste and damage. For more detail, see our full service page or call 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment.

Shower faults range from minor annoyances (dripping taps, blocked drains) to more serious issues (leaking shower bases, failed waterproofing). We assess the problem, confirm the cause, and repair or replace the affected component to restore safe, reliable operation. This covers tap and mixer repairs, drain clearing, showerhead replacement, and minor grout or sealant repairs; if inspection reveals failed waterproofing membranes or structural damage requiring full shower base replacement or retiling, we explain the options and confirm scope before any additional work proceeds.

What causes shower problems? Dripping taps usually result from worn cartridges or washers (the same mechanism as other taps). Slow drainage typically indicates hair and soap buildup in the trap or further down the line. Leaks beneath the shower base often trace back to cracked grout, failed sealant around the base or screen, or a compromised waterproofing membrane, this is more serious, as ongoing leaks can rot floor joists and damage ceilings in rooms below.

Our assessment includes checking water pressure, testing tap operation, inspecting visible sealant and grout, and running water to identify leak paths. For leaks beneath the base, we may need to remove access panels or inspect from below (where accessible) to confirm the extent of damage. We then explain what's involved: a simple tap cartridge replacement and drain clear can often be completed in under an hour, while a full shower base repair or re-waterproofing is a larger job requiring removal of tiles and proper membrane installation to Australian plumbing standards (AS 3740).

If you're dealing with a dripping shower tap, slow drainage, or visible water damage around the shower, a quick call is enough to book an assessment. We'll confirm the cause onsite, explain what's needed to fix it properly, and provide a fixed quote before starting the work. Our repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we verify the shower operates correctly before leaving. For more detail, see our full service page or call 1800 349 338.

All gas fitting work in NSW must be performed by a NSW-licensed gas fitter and comply with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 5601.1). Fixed Today Plumbing provides gas installations, repairs, and safety inspections across Emerton, covering new gas connections, appliance installations (cooktops, ovens, hot water systems, heaters), gas leak detection and repair, and compliance testing. This includes pressure loss testing to verify the system is gas-tight before recommissioning, and issuing a compliance certificate where required by regulation.

Gas work carries inherent risk if not done correctly. A leak can result in fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide poisoning. That's why all gas work is regulated and must be performed by someone holding the correct licence. Our gas fitters hold NSW licences (305428C) and follow strict safety protocols: we test all new or repaired installations for leaks using specialised detection equipment (combustible gas detectors, soapy water tests, or thermal imaging for hidden leaks), perform a pressure loss test to confirm the system holds pressure over time, and verify correct appliance operation before leaving.

If you smell gas (a distinctive "rotten egg" odour caused by added mercaptan), hear hissing near an appliance or meter, or notice unusual soot buildup on burners, evacuate the area, avoid using electrical switches or open flames, and call our 24/7 emergency line immediately. We'll dispatch a properly licensed gas fitter to isolate the supply, locate the leak, and make the system safe. For non-urgent gas work (new appliance installations, compliance inspections, or converting an appliance from natural gas to LPG), we assess the site, confirm the gas supply is adequate, and provide a fixed quote before starting the installation.

All gas installations and repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, and we provide compliance certificates where required by regulation or for insurance purposes. For Emerton properties, we can coordinate with utility providers (Jemena) for new meter installations or supply upgrades where needed. If you're planning a kitchen renovation, adding a gas water heater, or need a gas safety inspection, call 1800 349 338 to arrange an assessment.
