Plumbing FAQs in Kentlyn
The quickest way to reduce stress with plumbing is to know what happens next, how pricing is handled, and when a job is urgent. These are common questions we receive from Kentlyn residents and property managers. If your situation is specific, call and we can book the right licensed technician and confirm what to expect on arrival.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage, or gas work in Kentlyn, hiring a licensed NSW plumber is the safer option and helps ensure the work meets Australian Standards. DIY repairs can create hidden leaks or non-compliant gas work, which can lead to property damage or safety risks. If you are unsure, book an onsite assessment so the cause and scope are confirmed before any fixed-price work is approved.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs depend on the job scope, access, parts required, and how urgent the work is. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you see the total price after the issue is assessed onsite. The quote is provided before work starts, and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles domestic and commercial plumbing in Kentlyn and across Sydney, including blocked drains, hot water systems, leaking taps, toilet repairs, ruptured pipes, roof and gutter leaks, leak detection, pipe lining, and licensed gas fitting. If inspection shows the problem extends beyond the accessible area, options are explained and quoted once the the scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in the 2560 area need an onsite assessment so the cause, access, and parts required are clear. Phone pricing can miss key details, like the condition of pipework or where a leak is actually coming from. After inspecting, we provide a fixed-price quote with inclusions and exclusions explained. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs and repairs water and drainage systems and, where licensed, gas systems in homes and businesses. That can include taps, toilets, showers, hot water units, sewer and stormwater lines, plus leak location and pipe repairs. In NSW, technicians should be licensed for the type of work being completed, especially for gas fitting and drainage.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs an internal valve or seal inspected and replaced by a plumber. Continuing to use it can waste significant water and can sometimes hide a bigger issue such as a slow leak from the cistern. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet in Kentlyn, confirm whether it is a simple internal part or a larger fault, then provide fixed clear pricing before repairs start.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly, because water can track into walls and floors and cause hidden damage over time. The usual causes include worn seals, failed fittings, or a drainage restriction that pushes water where it should not go. We inspect the shower area, explain what we find in plain English, then quote the repair once the scope is verified.
Do you service the entire Kentlyn area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Kentlyn 2560 and all Sydney metro regions. For emergencies, we allocate the nearest available licensed service technician from our Sydney dispatch points, including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse. Arrival time depends on current bookings and traffic, and we provide ETA updates where possible once the job is booked.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Kentlyn using diagnostics such as CCTV inspection equipment and clearing methods like high-pressure water jetting where suitable. This typically resolves accessible kitchen, bathroom, and main drain restrictions. If the camera shows a damaged pipe or recurring root entry, repair options such as structural repair or no-dig relining are explained and quoted once confirmed.
