Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, it is safer to book a licensed and insured plumber for plumbing, drainage, and gas work in Haberfield because mistakes can cause water damage, safety risks, or non-compliant work. Fixed Today Plumbing sends attending technicians who are licensed plumbers in NSW. If the issue is minor, the plumber can still confirm it is safe, explain options, and provide fixed upfront pricing before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Haberfield depends on the fault type, access to the area, parts required, and whether the job is urgent after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote once the scope is defined onsite. If you are unsure about any call-out fee, confirm it when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Haberfield and the wider Sydney metro area. This includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, burst pipe repairs and water leak location, hot water service service installations and repairs, and licensed gas fitting including gas leak detection and new gas connections. Availability can vary by urgency, access, and parts required.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend your Haberfield property to assess the problem because an onsite check is usually needed to confirm scope safely. The first visit focuses on identifying the affected area and what is required to fix it. You then receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, and you can decide once the scope and inclusions are clear.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses, including hot water supply, toilets, showers, and pipework. In NSW, drainage and gas work must be completed by properly licensed tradespeople for safety and compliance. On urgent jobs, the first goal is to make the situation safe, then complete a durable repair once the scope is confirmed onsite.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal part, and it can waste a significant amount of water if left ongoing. The safest next step is to book a licensed, insured plumber to confirm the cause and complete the correct repair. Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, upfront pricing after the toilet is assessed, then tests operation before leaving.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early because water can track behind tiles or under the base and cause damage that is not visible at first. A licensed, insured plumber can confirm whether the leak is from a fitting, a pipe, or another point in the shower area. Fixed Today Plumbing explains findings in plain English and provides fixed, transparent pricing once the the scope is confirmed.
Do you service the entire Haberfield area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Haberfield and all Sydney metro regions, with localised dispatch points across Sydney to support urgent callouts. Emergency jobs are sent out first, and the nearest available technician is allocated based on availability and traffic. If the property has access limits such as strata booking windows, mention it when booking so timing can be planned.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Haberfield using specialised equipment and a scope-first approach. The blockage is located, cleared, and flow is checked before the job is closed out. If inspection indicates structural pipe damage rather than a simple clog, the repair options are explained and quoted after scope is confirmed onsite, which can affect what is done on the first visit.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies in Haberfield, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the closest available technician is allocated from localised Sydney dispatch points. Arrival timing depends on current jobs and traffic, but clear arrival communication is provided, including ETA updates where possible. Same-day service is also available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
