Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In most cases, plumbing and gas work should be done by a licensed tradesperson in NSW, because mistakes can cause leaks, damage, or safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers, and work is completed to applicable Australian Standards. If the issue is urgent or involves gas, sewage, or an active leak, it should be treated as a job for a professional.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work, access, what parts are required, and whether it is an emergency that needs immediate attendance. 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. If inspection shows extra work is needed, the new scope is explained and quoted first.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Hurlstone Park and across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water systems, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. The right approach depends on what is affected and how accessible the pipework is, which is why an onsite assessment is used to confirm scope before quoting.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Hurlstone Park need an onsite assessment so the cause, access, and scope can be confirmed accurately. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts, based on the confirmed scope. This avoids guesswork pricing over the phone, which can lead to scope changes once the technician arrives.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain and repair water, drainage and related systems in homes and businesses. This includes fixtures like taps, toilets and showers, as well as pipes, drains and hot water systems. In NSW, gas fitting must also be done by a properly licensed gas fitter. For any job, the practical first step is confirming the fault and scope before approving work.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually means a faulty inlet valve, worn seal, or a cistern mechanism that is not shutting off correctly. It is worth booking a toilet repair if the running continues, because it can waste a lot of water and sometimes leads to overflow. Fixed Today Plumbing will identify the cause onsite and provide fixed upfront pricing before completing the repair.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by the plumbing fittings, the drain, or water escaping past worn seals, and the leak point is not always obvious. If water is getting outside the wet area, it is best to stop using the shower and arrange an assessment to prevent damage to walls and flooring. Once diagnosed, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-fee quote before repairs begin.
Do you service the entire Hurlstone Park area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Hurlstone Park NSW 2193 and all Sydney metropolitan regions. There is also capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. If you are in a strata building or have restricted access, mention it when booking so the job can be scheduled with the right time window and equipment.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using camera inspection to locate the restriction and high-pressure water jetting to restore flow. This usually resolves common blockages in accessible lines; if inspection shows the pipe is damaged or has a structural fault, repair options like pipe repair or relining are explained and quoted once scope is verified.
