Plumbing FAQ's in Hunters Hill
These are practical answers to common plumbing questions we hear from Hunters Hill customers, especially during urgent situations. Each answer is general by nature because the safest next step is an site assessment, where the problem can be confirmed and quoted as a fixed price before work begins. If you need to book, the phone line is open 24/7.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies in Hunters Hill, it is safest to book a licensed plumbing specialist because water, drainage, and gas faults can escalate quickly and unlicensed work can create compliance and insurance issues later. Fixed Today Plumbing uses licensed technicians, and the first step is an onsite diagnosis so the cause is confirmed before any repair is approved.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope found onsite, because access, parts required, and after-hours urgency change the job. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and provides a fixed-price quote once scope is confirmed. There are no hidden costs, quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and you can ask about call-out fee status when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing covers emergency and general plumbing across Hunters Hill and greater Sydney, including blocked drains, broken pipes, leak detection, hot water systems, toilets, showers, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. If the onsite assessment shows a more complex structural issue, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is clarified.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in Hunters Hill are typically quoted after an onsite diagnosis, because quoting without seeing access and the affected area can lead to inaccurate scope. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms what is happening, explains the repair options in plain English, then provides a flat-rate quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install and repair water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses, and licensed plumbers can also complete regulated work such as gas fitting where endorsed. In practical terms, this includes diagnosing leaks, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, and installing hot water systems. The key is doing the work safely and to the required standards.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A continuously running toilet is usually caused by a worn seal or faulty inlet or outlet valve inside the cistern, and it can waste a significant amount of water over time. The practical next step is to book a toilet repair so the mechanism can be inspected and replaced as needed. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed price quote once the cause is confirmed onsite.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by the shower head, the mixer, or a leak behind the wall, and the consequences can range from a nuisance drip to hidden water damage. If water is escaping outside the shower area, it is worth booking an assessment promptly so the source can be confirmed. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the issue onsite, then quotes the repair as a fixed price.
Do you service the entire Hunters Hill area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Hunters Hill and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including the 2110 postcode. For emergency work, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and urgent jobs are sent out first. For non-urgent work, same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and completes CCTV inspections, jetting, and structural pipe repair when required. The drain is assessed first so the blockage location and pipe condition are confirmed, then a fixed-price quote is provided before we clear begins. If inspection shows pipe damage, options such as repair or no-dig relining are explained and quoted after scope is confirmed.
