Plumbing FAQ's in Hinchinbrook
These Hinchinbrook plumbing FAQs cover how bookings work, what affects pricing, and when a problem needs urgent attention. If your situation is unclear, calling is often enough to confirm whether it should be treated as an emergency and to book the right properly licensed technician.

Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing, drainage, and any gas work in Hinchinbrook, using a licensed plumbing professional is the safer option because the work must meet Australian Standards and may require compliance documentation. DIY repairs can create hidden leaks or safety risks that show up later. Fixed Today Plumbing sends attending technicians who are licensed and fully insured plumbers in NSW, and workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs vary by scope, access, parts required, and urgency, so an onsite assessment is usually needed to price it accurately. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing, priced by the job, not by the hour, and provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and call-out fee status should be confirmed when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Hinchinbrook. Common jobs include blocked drains and sewer work, leak repairs and burst pipes, hot water system repairs or replacements, toilet and tap repairs, roof and gutter leaks, water filter installations, and licensed gas fitting such as leak detection and new connections. The exact solution depends on what is found onsite.

What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water and drainage systems in homes and businesses, and may also be licensed for gas fitting. Typical work includes fixing leaks, clearing drains, repairing toilets and taps, installing hot water systems, and completing regulated work to Australian Standards. For safety and compliance, the right licence matters, especially for drainage and gas-related work.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually indicates a worn internal component such as a valve or seal, and it can waste a lot of water if left unattended. The practical next stage is to book a toilet repair so the cistern can be assessed and the correct parts fitted. If the toilet is overflowing or backing up, treat it as urgent and arrange immediate attendance.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from the shower head, the tap or mixer, or the waterproofed area behind the tiles, and the right fix depends on confirming the source. If there is visible water damage or the leak is getting worse, arrange an assessment so it can be diagnosed properly. Fixed Today Plumbing provides upfront fixed pricing once the the scope is confirmed onsite.
