Plumbing FAQ's in Homebush
Emergency plumbing decisions are easier when you know what will happen next. These FAQs explain how service works in Homebush, how pricing is handled, and what changes the scope on the day. If your situation is not covered, call and describe what you are seeing, we can book the right licensed technician and confirm what needs an urgent response.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For most plumbing faults, hiring a licensed and insured plumbing technician is the safer option because the cause is not always visible and the damage can get worse quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing sends fully licensed plumbers in NSW to Homebush and confirms the scope onsite before quoting. If the issue involves gas, a sewer overflow, or an active leak, arrange an urgent assessment rather than attempting a repair.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what the inspection finds, because access, parts, and the scale of damage change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before we start. For many service areas there is no call-out fee (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out fee status when booking from Homebush.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting across Sydney, including Homebush. Typical work includes blocked drains, broken pipes, leaking taps, toilet repairs, hot water unit work, roof and gutter leaks, water filters, backflow prevention, and gas leak testing. If an inspection shows a larger underlying issue, the options are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Homebush jobs need an onsite assessment so the affected area, access, and the condition of the pipework can be confirmed. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote after diagnosis and before work begins, which helps avoid guesswork and surprise charges. If photos or explanations help, the plumber can show what was found and confirm inclusions and exclusions before proceeding.
What do plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. In practice that includes locating leaks, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, connecting hot water systems, and ensuring pipework is safe and compliant. Fixed Today Plumbing only sends fully licensed plumbers in NSW, and work is completed to applicable Australian Standards with testing before the job is closed.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty inlet valve, flush valve seal, or an internal adjustment issue, and it can waste a lot of water quietly. The most reliable fix is an onsite diagnosis because similar symptoms can have different causes. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet in Homebush, confirm the fault, then provide a fixed-price quote before completing the repair and verifying the flush cycle.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from the shower head, taps, or pipework behind the wall, and persistent leaks can cause water damage over time. If water is actively escaping, book a licensed plumber (NSW) so the source can be confirmed and controlled safely. Fixed Today Plumbing assesses the leak onsite in Homebush, explains the cause in plain English, and provides fixed, upfront pricing before repair.
Do you service the entire Homebush area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services the entire 2140 postcode and all Sydney metropolitan regions. Capacity also extends up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. The attending plumber is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, including West Sydney, and arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and access conditions at the property.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Homebush using camera inspection equipment to locate the restriction and hydro jetting to clear it where suitable. This approach helps confirm whether the issue is a simple blockage or a damaged pipe that needs structural repair. After diagnosis, you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts, and flow is tested before the job is closed.
