Plumbing FAQ's in Homebush
These FAQs answer common questions about booking a plumber in Homebush, including what affects cost, how quickly help can arrive, and what happens during an onsite assessment. If your situation is urgent or youre unsure what category it falls into, a call is enough to book the right technician and confirm the next action.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing and all gas work, hiring a fully licensed plumbing technician is the safer option, because poor repairs can cause water damage, void warranties, or create compliance problems later. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers. The scope is defined onsite before any fixed-price quote is provided.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the problem area, and what parts are required, especially if pipework is concealed or the job is urgent. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Homebush, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water systems, leaking taps, burst pipes, and licensed gas fitting. If inspection shows the issue is more complex than expected, options are explained and scope is confirmed onsite before any additional work proceeds. This keeps both the plan and the pricing clear.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Homebush jobs are normally assessed onsite, because phone-only pricing is often inaccurate without seeing access, fixtures, and the affected area. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees once the scope is confirmed on site, and you can then decide whether to proceed. If you want clarity on call-out fees for Homebush, confirm it when booking.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses, and licensed plumbers can also complete regulated work to the required standards. In practical terms, that includes locating leaks, restoring drainage flow, repairing burst pipes, and installing or replacing hot water systems. Where required, compliance documentation is provided for regulated work.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs an onsite repair, because the cause is often an internal valve or seal that requires the correct parts and adjustment. Continuing to use a constantly running toilet can waste a lot of water and may hide small leaks into floors. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet, confirm the repair scope, then provide fixed, upfront pricing before starting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed by a plumber, because water can track behind tiles or into wall cavities without obvious signs at first. The first visit is used to confirm the leak source and whether it is a tap, the shower head, or pipework behind the wall. Once the scope is clear, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote before repairs begin.
Do you service the entire Homebush area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Homebush and all Sydney metropolitan regions. The business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and local dispatch points across Sydney support allocating the nearest available technician. In unit blocks, access arrangements can affect when work can begin, so it helps to mention any strata requirements when booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and completes structural pipe repair and no-dig drain relining when needed. Clearing usually starts with confirming the blockage type and location, often using CCTV check, then removing the obstruction with the least disruptive method suitable for the pipework. If the line is damaged, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is verified.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and same day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. You will receive arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, with timing affected by current bookings, traffic, and access conditions.
