Plumbing FAQ's in Hurstville Grove
The FAQs below answer common questions about booking a licensed and insured plumber in Hurstville Grove, including pricing, arrival expectations, and what happens on the first visit. If your situation is urgent, a short phone call is usually enough to confirm whether it needs emergency dispatch or a same-day booking, and we can confirm the call-out status for your address when you book.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Many plumbing and all gas jobs should be handled by a licensed plumbing specialist because incorrect repairs can create leaks, water damage, or safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers in NSW, and the job is assessed onsite so the correct repair can be quoted and completed to applicable Australian Standards. If it is minor and contained, we will explain the options before any work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope, access, parts required, and whether it is an emergency callout or standard booking. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the price is confirmed after diagnosis and before we start. Many service areas have no call-out fee, and you can confirm what applies for Hurstville Grove when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe lining, hot water repairs and installations, leak testing, roof and gutter leaks, toilet repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The boundary is that the exact method and parts depend on what is found during the onsite assessment, which is why diagnosis comes first.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing provides quotes after an on-site inspection because phone pricing can miss access issues or hidden faults. The attending licensed and adequately insured plumber confirms the affected area and the scope, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. If additional issues are uncovered during diagnostics, options are explained and quoted before any extra work proceeds.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and, where licensed, gas systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixtures such as taps, toilets, and showers, plus pipes, valves, drains, and hot water units. In NSW, regulated work should be completed by a licensed tradesperson so the work meets safety requirements and can be documented where needed.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty inlet valve or flush seal, and it can waste a lot of water over time. The safest approach is to book a plumber to confirm the cause and repair it properly, especially if water is leaking onto the floor. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet onsite and provide fixed, upfront pricing before proceeding.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because ongoing water can damage walls, floors, and cabinetry. The leak might be from the shower head or mixer, or it could be coming from the pipework behind the wall, and the correct fix depends on confirming the source onsite. Fixed Today Plumbing will explain findings clearly and provide a fixed-price quote before any repair starts.
Do you service the entire Hurstville Grove area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Hurstville Grove as part of all Sydney metro regions, including the wider St George district. For emergencies, there is capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, and jobs are allocated from localised Sydney dispatch points. If your site has access constraints, share that when booking so the visit can be planned properly.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also provides CCTV inspections, structural pipe repair, and no-dig pipe relining when needed. The boundary is that the correct method depends on what is causing the blockage, which is confirmed onsite with inspection. After diagnosis, you receive a fixed-price quote before any repair or clearing work starts.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for all routine plumbing and gas enquiries. Arrival time depends on the urgency of the job, current bookings, and traffic, so an ETA is confirmed when booking and updated where possible. If the issue involves safety risks, mention that on the phone so it can be prioritised correctly.
