Plumbing FAQ's in Holroyd
These are common questions we hear from Holroyd locals when something goes wrong unexpectedly. The goal is to make the next step clear, especially when the situation is urgent. If you are unsure how serious it is, a quick call is usually enough for us to confirm whether it needs emergency attendance or can be booked for same-day service.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies and anything involving water leaks, sewer blockages, or gas, it is safer to use a licensed and insured plumber in Holroyd because the risk is property damage or safety issues if the cause is misjudged. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite, explains the scope, and provides fixed, upfront pricing before work starts once the scope is agreed.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope, access to the problem area, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a clear price once the issue is diagnosed and the scope is confirmed on site. No call-out fee applies for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out details when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency and general plumbing in Holroyd, including blocked drains, leak repairs, hot water systems, and licensed gas fitting. The right solution depends on what the onsite assessment finds, so the scope is established first and then a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts. Workmanship is backed by a Lifetime Labour Warranty, with manufacturer warranties on supplied hardware.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an site assessment is usually required for an accurate quote in Holroyd, especially for leaks, drainage issues, and hot water faults where the cause is not visible. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the problem first, then provides a fixed-price quote before work starts once the scope is confirmed. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, which gives you time to make a decision.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and tests water, drainage, and related fixtures so they function safely and correctly. In an emergency, the priority is isolating the fault, stopping damage, and confirming what failed before repairs begin. In Holroyd, Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed technicians who can explain the issue in plain English and provide fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is finalised onsite.
How do I stop my toilet running?
If a toilet is running continuously, it usually indicates a failed internal valve or seal that needs replacement or repair. It is best to book a plumber if the noise or water flow continues, since ongoing running can waste significant water and sometimes leads to overflow issues. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cause onsite in Holroyd and provide a fixed-price quote before starting the repair.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because water can travel behind tiles and into walls before it is visible, which increases repair scope. If the leak is significant, avoid using the shower until it has been checked by a licensed and insured plumbing technician. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Holroyd properties, confirm the leak source onsite, and provide fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is clear.
Do you service the entire Holroyd area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Holroyd as part of All Sydney metropolitan regions, with capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. Attendance depends on current bookings and traffic, but emergencies are sent out first with immediate dispatch. When booking, we confirm access details and provide ETA updates where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Holroyd using diagnostic methods like CCTV inspection where needed, then clearing the restriction using the appropriate equipment. This approach helps confirm whether the blockage is a one-off obstruction or a sign of structural pipe damage. Once the cause is identified and the scope is confirmed, you receive fixed, upfront pricing before work starts.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Holroyd, Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are allocated first to the nearest available technician from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Arrival timing still depends on traffic conditions and existing emergency workload, so an ETA is provided when booking and updated where possible. For non-urgent work, same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
