Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Gymea?

Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed plumbing services across Gymea, dispatching from local hubs including West Sydney to ensure rapid arrival. Gymea properties typically feature a mix of older brick homes from the 1960s, 1980s expansion and newer developments, which means we commonly encounter clay and terracotta pipe blockages from tree root intrusion, along with aging hot water systems needing replacement. We're fully licensed in NSW (Licence 305428C) and insured, with Public Liability and Workers Compensation, so if accidental property damage occurs during work, you're protected.

Gymea sits in Southern Sydney near South Sydney and Gymea Bay, and our coverage extends across the entire 2227 postcode. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, but we provide ETA updates when booking. Our fixed-price model means the quote provided upfront is the price you pay, with no hidden fees added later. If inspection reveals additional scope beyond the initial assessment, we explain the options and confirm pricing before any extra work proceeds.

We've operated in Sydney for over 15 years, building a near-perfect 5-star rating across 800+ verified customer reviews. Our team arrives in uniform, confirms identity at the door, and keeps work areas tidy throughout the job, not just at the end. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, meaning if an issue with our repair arises, we return and make it right.

Whether you're dealing with a blocked drain, a leaking tap, or a water heater that's stopped working, a quick call is enough to confirm urgency and book the right technician. You don't need to diagnose the fault; we assess onsite and explain what's involved before starting.

Expert Plumbing Services in Gymea

We handle residential and commercial plumbing across Gymea, from urgent repairs to routine maintenance. Our team is licensed in NSW for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting, and all technicians carry current licences when attending your property. We use high-definition drain inspection cameras for diagnostics, high-pressure jetting to clear stubborn blockages, and electronic leak testing equipment to locate hidden bursts without invasive digging.

Our process is straightforward: we assess the issue onsite, confirm the scope with you, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work.

Immediate Dispatch for Emergencies

Urgent jobs are sent out first from local dispatch points. We provide ETA updates when booking and keep you informed if timing changes.

Fully Licensed & Insured

We're fully licensed in NSW (Licence 305428C) and insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation, protecting you if accidental damage occurs during work.

Hot Water Systems and Water Heater Installation

When a water heater fails in Gymea, it's usually due to a failing heating element in electric storage units, a faulty thermocouple in gas continuous flow systems, or sediment buildup insulating the heating mechanism. If ignored, a failing system can leave you without hot water for days or cause a tank rupture that floods the property. We assess the system onsite, confirm whether repair or replacement is the right approach, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work.

We install and repair electric storage, gas continuous flow, and solar gas hot water units from major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai. Under the National Construction Code and AS/NZS 3500 standards, all hot water installations must be performed by a licensed professional. This ensures Tempering Valves are correctly installed to prevent scalding (limiting water to 50°C at taps) and Pressure Relief Valves are fitted to prevent tank over-pressurisation.

In practice, we commonly see rust-coloured water in the morning from older storage systems, which indicates a failing sacrificial anode rod or internal corrosion. Fluctuating temperatures often point to sediment buildup around heating elements or gas burners. We explain the findings in plain English, walk through the options considering your budget, and confirm the approach before proceeding. Once installed, we test the system to verify correct operation and provide manufacturer warranties on all hardware alongside our Lifetime Labour Warranty on the installation workmanship.

Blocked Drains

A blocked drain in Gymea typically starts with slow drainage in sinks, showers, or toilets, and if left unaddressed, can escalate to complete blockage or sewage backup inside the property. In older Gymea homes built during the 1960s, 1980s expansion, the usual cause is tree root intrusion into clay or terracotta pipes, where fine roots enter microscopic cracks and expand over time, trapping debris. In kitchen lines, Fat, Oil, and Grease (FOG) often solidifies as it cools, narrowing the pipe and catching solid waste.

We begin with a high-definition CCTV drain camera inspection to identify the blockage type, depth, and exact location without invasive digging. This allows us to confirm whether the obstruction is in your property's private lines or in the council's sewer main. Once the blockage is located, we use high-pressure jetting (hydro-jetting) at 3,000, 5,000 PSI to pulverise roots and scour grease from pipe walls, restoring near-full capacity. For metal or plastic foreign objects, mechanical clearing tools may be used instead.

If the CCTV check reveals structural pipe damage such as collapsed sections or severe cracking, we explain the options, which may include trenchless pipe relining or targeted excavation and replacement. Scope is confirmed and a new fixed-price quote is provided before any additional work proceeds. We test flow rates after clearing to verify the blockage is fully resolved, and provide documentation of the camera inspection findings when requested.

Leaking Taps

Dripping taps and running toilets waste significant water over time, often adding hundreds of dollars to annual utility bills. A single dripping tap can waste thousands of litres per year. The usual cause is a worn washer, O-ring, or ceramic disc cartridge inside the tap body, which fails to create a watertight seal when the tap is closed.

We assess the tap onsite to confirm the fault, disassemble the fixture, and replace the worn components. In some cases, the tap body itself may be corroded or damaged beyond economical repair, in which case we explain the option to replace the entire fixture and provide a flat-rate quote for the replacement. Once repaired or replaced, we test the tap under normal operating pressure to verify the drip has stopped and the seal is watertight.

For running toilets, the issue is usually a faulty flush valve, fill valve, or flapper that allows water to continuously flow from the cistern into the bowl. We diagnose the specific component causing the fault, replace it, and verify the cistern refills correctly and stops when full. This eliminates water waste and restores normal operation.

Roof & Gutter Repairs

Roof and gutter leaks in Gymea properties often result from blocked gutter channels, damaged flashing around roof penetrations, or cracked valley irons where two roof planes meet. If left unaddressed, water can enter the roof cavity, damaging ceilings, insulation, and structural timber, or overflow and pool around the foundation, causing subsidence or internal flooding.

We use high-pressure water jetting to clear debris, leaves, and silt from gutter channels and downpipes, restoring proper water flow. For leaks, we inspect the roof and gutter system to identify the entry point, then repair or replace damaged flashing, valley irons, or gutter sections as needed. If the leak is caused by structural issues such as sagging gutters or inadequate fall, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding with repairs.

After clearing or repairing, we test the system by running water through the gutters and downpipes to verify flow is restored and no leaks remain. We also check that downpipes discharge correctly away from the building to prevent water pooling near the foundation.

Shower Repairs

A dripping shower head or slow-draining shower base disrupts daily routines and can indicate underlying issues. Dripping shower heads usually result from worn washers or O-rings inside the tap body, while slow drainage often indicates a blockage in the waste trap or drain line, typically caused by hair, soap scum, or product buildup.

For dripping taps, we disassemble the shower mixer or tap assembly, replace worn seals or cartridges, and test under operating pressure to verify the drip has stopped. For blocked shower drains, we clear the waste trap and use mechanical or hydro-jetting equipment to restore flow through the drain line. If the camera inspection reveals damaged pipework or incorrect fall, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding.

In some cases, shower leaks are caused by failed waterproofing membranes behind tiles, allowing water to seep into the wall cavity and cause structural damage. If we identify this during assessment, we explain the remediation options, which may involve retiling and resealing the affected area, and provide a fixed-price quote once scope is confirmed on site.

Toilet Repairs

A malfunctioning toilet in Gymea typically presents as a running non-stop cistern, weak flush, or blockage that won't clear. Running cisterns waste significant water and increase utility bills, usually caused by a faulty fill valve, flush valve, or flapper that fails to seal properly. Weak flushes often indicate a blocked rim feed or damaged flush mechanism, while persistent blockages suggest an obstruction in the S-bend or waste line.

We arrive in fully stocked vehicles with the tools and replacement parts needed to handle common toilet repairs onsite. For running cisterns, we diagnose which component is failing, replace it, and test to verify the cistern refills and stops correctly. For blockages, we use mechanical clearing tools or hydro-jetting equipment to remove the obstruction and restore flow. If the blockage is caused by structural issues such as tree root intrusion or collapsed pipework, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding.

Once repaired, we test the flush mechanism under normal operating conditions to verify correct function and check for leaks around the base and cistern connections. We clean up the work area and dispose of any replaced components before leaving.

Gas Fitting

Gas systems require expert handling to ensure safety and compliance. Gas leaks, faulty appliances, or incorrect installations can pose serious safety risks including fire, explosion, or carbon monoxide poisoning. All gas work in Australia must be performed by a licensed gas fitter, and compliance certificates are required for new installations or alterations to verify the system meets AS/NZS 5601.1 safety standards.

We handle new gas connections and appliance installations, leak detection, and repairs across Gymea properties. For suspected leaks, the distinctive "rotten egg" odour (added mercaptan) is the primary warning sign, along with hissing sounds near appliances or dying vegetation over underground lines. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and arrange immediate assessment. Do not operate electrical switches or create ignition sources.

We use combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to locate leaks behind walls or in sub-floors without invasive access. Once identified, we isolate the affected section, repair or replace the faulty component, and conduct a pressure loss test to verify the system is gas-tight before recommissioning. For new installations, we ensure all appliances are correctly connected, isolated where required, and tested for safe operation before leaving. Compliance certificates are issued where required by regulation.

Burst & Leaking Pipes

A burst pipe in Gymea can release hundreds of litres per hour, causing flooding, structural damage, and mould growth if not addressed immediately. Burst pipes in older properties often result from corrosion in galvanised steel or copper pipes, while in newer properties they may be caused by excessive water pressure, ground movement, or freeze-thaw cycles. Leaking pipes typically start as pinhole leaks from internal corrosion or joint failure, and escalate over time.

If a pipe bursts, turn off the water supply at the mains (usually located near the front boundary or water meter) to stop the flow and limit damage. We dispatch immediately for broken pipe emergencies, assess the extent of the damage onsite, and isolate the affected section to restore water supply to unaffected areas where possible. We then repair or replace the damaged pipe section and test the system under operating pressure to verify the leak is fully resolved.

For properties where excavation would disrupt driveways, landscaping, or permanent structures, we offer trenchless pipe relining as a cost-effective alternative. Pipe relining involves inserting a flexible, resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, inflating it, and curing it in place to create a seamless, structurally independent "pipe-within-a-pipe." This method is effective for PVC, clay, cast iron, and concrete pipes, provided the original structure has not completely collapsed. We explain the options, confirm scope, and provide a fixed-price quote before proceeding.

Strata Plumbing

Strata properties in Gymea require clear communication and documentation to ensure work is completed efficiently and responsibility boundaries are understood. We work closely with strata managers, owners, and tenants to coordinate access, confirm whether the issue affects common property or individual lots, and provide documentation suitable for strata records and agent reporting.

Common strata plumbing issues include blocked drains in shared waste lines, leaking taps and fixtures in common areas, hot water system failures affecting multiple units, and shower leaks that may involve waterproofing membranes behind tiled surfaces. We assess the issue onsite, confirm scope and responsibility boundaries with the strata manager or owner, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work.

For urgent issues such as sewage backups or ruptured pipes affecting multiple units, we dispatch immediately to make the area safe, isolate the affected section, and restore service to unaffected units where possible. We then assess the full extent of the damage, explain the repair options, and confirm scope before proceeding with permanent repairs.

We provide receipts, invoices, and job documentation suitable for strata maintenance logs and compliance records. Our technicians follow site access requirements, sign in where required, and coordinate timing to minimise disruption to residents.

General Plumbing

We handle a wide range of general plumbing tasks across Gymea, from minor repairs to full installations. This includes leaking taps, running toilets, clogged sinks, shower repairs, vanity installations, appliance connections (dishwashers, washing machines, refrigerators), and fixture replacements.

Our process is consistent across all jobs: we assess the issue onsite using diagnostic tools where needed, explain the findings in plain English, and provide a fixed-fee quote before starting work. The quote is valid for one month from the date issued, and the price quoted is the price paid, with no hidden costs added later. If the initial inspection reveals additional work beyond what was discussed, we explain the options and confirm the new scope and price before proceeding.

All work is performed by correctly licensed plumbers in NSW, backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship and standard manufacturer warranties on all parts and appliances. We arrive in uniform, use protective coverings to protect floors and surfaces, and clean up the work area before leaving. Our technicians can accommodate safety-sensitive requests such as identity confirmation at the door, boot covers in homes, and clear entry instructions for security-sensitive properties.

To prevent costly plumbing issues from escalating, we recommend scheduling regular plumbing safety inspections. Our trained staff can assess your system, identify potential problems such as corroded pipes, failing hot water systems, or slow-draining lines, and address them before they escalate into emergency repairs. Contact us to arrange a comprehensive plumbing inspection for your Gymea property.

Emergency Plumbing

Plumbing emergencies don't wait for business hours. A broken pipe can flood a property in minutes. A gas leak poses immediate safety risks. A sewage backup creates health hazards and property damage. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing services across Gymea, with phone lines open around the clock, seven days a week.

Urgent jobs are sent out first from local dispatch points, and the nearest available properly licensed plumbing technician is allocated based on current schedule and location. We provide ETA updates when booking and keep you informed if timing changes due to traffic or the complexity of a prior job. For burst pipes, turn off the water supply at the mains to stop the flow and limit damage while waiting for the plumber to arrive. For gas leaks, turn off the gas supply at the meter if safe to do so, ventilate the area, and do not operate electrical switches or create ignition sources.

Common emergency callouts in Gymea include broken pipes, gas leakages, major sewer blockages causing sewage backup, and ruptured hot water tanks flooding the property. We assess the situation onsite, make the area safe, and provide a fixed-price quote for the permanent repair once the immediate risk is controlled. For after-hours emergencies, our office staff will schedule an emergency plumber to visit your property at a time that suits your availability.

We strongly recommend booking a plumbing safety inspection to identify and address underlying issues before they escalate into costly emergency repairs. Preventative maintenance can save significant expense and disruption by catching problems early, such as corroded pipes, failing hot water systems, or slow-draining lines that indicate developing blockages.

Commercial Plumbing

Commercial and industrial properties in Gymea require prompt, reliable plumbing services to ensure operations continue without disruption. Downtime from plumbing failures can affect customers, staff, and revenue, so minimising interruption is critical. We handle a wide range of commercial plumbing tasks, from urgent repairs to planned maintenance and fit-outs.

Common commercial jobs include clearing blocked drains and overflowing sewer lines, addressing gas leaks and installing new commercial gas appliances, assisting with bathroom and industrial kitchen fit-outs and refurbishments, and resolving drainage obstructions that affect multiple fixtures or areas. We work efficiently to restore service, coordinating timing to minimise impact on business operations where possible.

For commercial properties, we provide documentation suitable for maintenance logs, compliance records, and occupational health and safety reporting. Our technicians follow site access requirements, complete inductions where required, and coordinate with facility managers to ensure work is completed safely and efficiently. We arrive in uniform, use protective coverings to protect floors and surfaces, and clean up the work area before leaving.

Our fixed-price quoting model applies to commercial work where scope can be confirmed onsite. For larger projects or ongoing maintenance contracts, we provide detailed proposals outlining scope, timing, and pricing, and work closely with facility managers to ensure the approach aligns with operational requirements.

Plumbing FAQ's in Gymea

We understand that hiring a plumber can feel uncertain, especially during an emergency. These questions reflect what Gymea residents ask most often. If your question isn't covered here, our phone line is always open.

Should I hire a professional or attempt the repair myself?

DIY plumbing work can void home warranties, fail building inspections, and create safety risks including water damage, gas leaks, or non-compliant installations. All plumbing, drainage, and gas work in NSW must be performed by a licensed professional to meet Australian Standards and regulatory requirements. It's always safer and more cost-effective to hire a licensed Gymea plumber from the start.

How much does plumbing work cost in Gymea?

Plumbing costs vary based on scope, access, parts required, and time onsite. We provide a fixed-price quote based on confirmed scope before work starts, so you know the full cost upfront. The price quoted is the price paid, with no hidden fees added later. If inspection reveals additional work beyond the initial assessment, we explain the options and confirm pricing before proceeding.

What plumbing services do you offer in Gymea?

We handle blocked drains, burst and leaking pipes, hot water system repairs and installations, leaking taps, roof and gutter leak repairs, shower and toilet repairs, gas fitting and leak detection, strata and commercial plumbing, and general plumbing tasks. We're available 24/7 for emergencies, and same-day service is available for standard enquiries when capacity allows.

Do you provide quotes over the phone or onsite?

All jobs in the 2227 postcode require onsite assessment to confirm scope accurately. Providing quotes over the phone without assessing the issue risks inaccurate pricing and unexpected costs later. We assess the issue onsite, confirm scope with you, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work. This ensures the quote reflects the actual work required and avoids surprises.

What does a plumber do?

Plumbers are licensed tradespeople who install, repair, and maintain water supply systems, drainage systems, hot water systems, gas systems, and fixtures such as taps, toilets, and showers. In NSW, plumbers must hold current licences for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting work, and all work must meet Australian Standards and regulatory requirements to ensure safety and compliance.

How do I stop my toilet from running constantly?

A running non-stop toilet usually indicates a faulty fill valve, flush valve, or flapper inside the cistern. If turning off the water supply at the tap behind the toilet stops the flow temporarily, the issue is internal to the cistern. Toilet repairs are typically straightforward and cost-effective, involving replacement of the faulty component and testing to verify correct operation.

Can you fix a leaking shower head?

Yes. Leaking shower heads usually result from worn washers, O-rings, or ceramic disc cartridges inside the tap body. We disassemble the shower mixer or tap assembly, replace the worn components, and test under operating pressure to verify the leak has stopped. If the tap body is corroded or damaged beyond economical repair, we explain the option to replace the entire fixture.

Do you service the entire Gymea area?

Yes. We service the entire 2227 postcode and surrounding South Sydney suburbs, dispatching from local hubs including West Sydney to ensure fast arrival. Our coverage extends up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and we provide ETA updates when booking to set realistic arrival expectations.

Can you unblock drains in Gymea?

Yes. We use high-definition drain inspection cameras to identify the blockage type and location, then clear it using high-pressure jetting or mechanical tools depending on the obstruction. If the CCTV check reveals structural pipe damage, we explain the options including trenchless pipe relining or targeted excavation, and confirm scope before proceeding with additional work.

How quickly can you attend an emergency in Gymea?

Urgent jobs are sent out first from local dispatch points, and the nearest available licensed and fully insured plumber is allocated based on existing commitments and location. We provide ETA updates when booking and keep you informed if timing changes. The most helpful step is to call ahead and describe the issue so we can allocate the right technician and equipment for the job.
