Plumbing FAQ's in Henley
Plumbing problems are disruptive, and it is normal to want clear answers before you book. These FAQs cover what Henley locals commonly ask about urgent repairs, onsite quoting, arrival expectations, and how transparent pricing works. If your question is not listed, you can call and we will help you work out whether it needs emergency attendance or a same-day booking.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For Henley plumbing work, hiring a licensed professional is usually the safer option because plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting work can involve property damage risk and compliance requirements. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers in NSW, and the job is assessed onsite before a fixed-price quote is provided. If the issue involves gas, hidden leaks, or active water damage, arranging professional attendance is the sensible next step.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, including access to the affected area, the parts required, and whether it is an after-hours emergency. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and the fixed-fee quote is provided before work starts once the issue is diagnosed. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and you can confirm call-out fee status when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general plumbing across Henley and the wider Sydney metro area, covering domestic and commercial jobs. Common work includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, water heater repairs and installations, gas fitting and gas leak detection, burst pipe repairs and leak testing, and gutter and roof leak solutions. The exact approach is confirmed after an onsite assessment so the fix matches the cause.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, onsite assessment is used for Henley jobs because accurate pricing depends on what is found in the pipework, fittings, and access points. Fixed Today Plumbing starts with diagnosis, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. If inspection shows that the job is larger than expected, the options are explained and a revised scope is finalised before any additional work proceeds.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. This can include repairing leaks, clearing drains, fitting toilets and taps, installing hot water systems, and completing gas work where licensed. In practice, the job also involves testing and verification so the system is safe and working correctly before the technician leaves, not just swapping a part and hoping it holds.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a faulty inlet valve, flush valve, or an internal seal that is not closing properly. A licensed, insured plumber can confirm the cause quickly, repair or replace the failed parts, then test the full flush cycle to make sure it is sealing correctly. If water is overflowing or escaping onto the floor, stop using the toilet and arrange urgent attendance to prevent damage.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed because water can travel behind tiles and into wall cavities before it becomes obvious. The first step is confirming whether the leak is coming from the fittings, the shower base, or the drainage connection, since each requires a different repair. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cause onsite in Henley and provide a fixed-price quote before completing the repair and checking for further leakage.
Do you service the entire Henley area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Henley NSW 2111 as part of our coverage across all Sydney metropolitan regions, including the North Shore. A large multi-van fleet and localised dispatch points across Sydney support both emergency callouts and standard bookings. For emergency calls, we have capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, and we confirm the most suitable booking time when you contact us.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also handles structural pipe repair where required. Blocked drain work usually starts with confirming where the restriction is, often using CCTV drain cameras, then clearing the obstruction with the least disruptive method for the pipework. If the inspection shows root intrusion or damaged pipe sections, repair options like pipe lining can be discussed and quoted once the scope is verified.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies in Henley, and same day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival timing depends on current emergency workload, access, and traffic conditions, so an ETA is provided when booking and updated where possible. If you call with clear details about the fault and the property access, the attending technician can be better prepared on arrival.
