Plumbing FAQ's in Hurstville
Emergency plumbing questions in Hurstville usually come down to three things: how quickly someone can attend, how pricing is confirmed, and whether the work is properly licensed and insured. Fixed Today Plumbing is available 24/7 for emergencies, provides fixed, upfront pricing before starting work, and sends licensed NSW plumbers. If access is affected by strata rules or parking limits, mention it when booking so the visit can be planned properly.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergency plumbing in Hurstville, a licensed plumbing specialist is the safer option when there is active leaking, sewer overflow, no hot water supply, or any gas concern. Many plumbing jobs are regulated, and gas work should only be done by a correctly licensed gasfitter (NSW). A professional assessment also reduces the risk of hidden damage being missed, because the cause is confirmed before repair is quoted and started.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Hurstville depends on the confirmed scope, because access, parts required, and urgency all affect what needs to be done. Fixed Today Plumbing uses Fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. You can also ask about the "web55" offer when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency and general plumbing in Hurstville, including blocked drains, burst pipe repairs, hot water unit service and installation, leaking taps, toilet repairs, roof and gutter leak repairs, shower leaks, and licensed gas fitting. If the issue needs specialised equipment or regulated documentation, that is confirmed during the onsite assessment before a fixed-price quote is provided.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Hurstville need an onsite assessment to confirm the cause, access, and the problem area before pricing is set. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote once the scope is established, before work starts. No call-out fee applies for many service areas, so it is worth confirming the Hurstville call-out status at the time of booking.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in a property, and a licensed gas fitter handles regulated gas work. In an emergency, the practical role is to make the situation safe, identify the cause, and complete the repair to applicable Australian Standards. Fixed Today Plumbing also tests the system before leaving and provides documentation where relevant.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet usually means a worn or misfiring internal cistern component, and it can waste a lot of water quickly. If the toilet is overflowing or you cannot stop it running, it should be treated as urgent. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend in Hurstville, confirm the cause onsite, then repair or replace the faulty parts after providing fixed, upfront pricing.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower should be assessed early, because water can travel behind tiles and cause damage outside the bathroom. The cause can be plumbing-side or related to seals and fittings, so guessing often wastes time. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the shower in Hurstville, explain what is found in plain English, then provide a fixed-price quote before carrying out the repair.
Do you service the entire Hurstville area?

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Hurstville and can also assess whether the blockage is a one-off obstruction or a sign of pipe damage. The approach is confirmed onsite, often using CCTV check equipment to locate the problem accurately. Once the scope is agreed, you are given a fixed-price quote before repair or clearing work begins.
