Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in Killara, a licensed professional is the safer choice when there is a leak, a blockage that is backing up, or anything involving gas. Licensed work matters because it is completed to applicable safety requirements and is backed by insurance. Fixed Today Plumbing is properly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and confirms scope onsite before quoting.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the affected area, required parts, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you can decide once the cause is identified and the fixed-price quote is provided. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and call-out fee status should be confirmed when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Killara. Typical work includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, CCTV inspections, water heater repair and installation, ruptured pipe repairs and leak testing, gas leak detection and new gas connections, and general plumbing like taps, toilets and showers. If inspection shows a larger underlying issue, the options are explained and quoted once scope is defined.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing attends in Killara to assess the issue and provide a fixed-price quote before work starts. Phone descriptions help with booking, but accurate pricing usually requires seeing access, pipework condition, and the exact fault onsite. If you are concerned about call-out costs, confirm call-out fee status when booking, as no call-out fee applies in many service areas (check specific suburb pages).
What do plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and in many cases gas systems in homes and businesses. In practice that can include stopping leaks, restoring hot water, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, and identifying hidden bursts. In NSW, regulated plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting work should be completed by licensed tradespeople, and insured businesses reduce risk if accidental damage occurs during the job.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running usually needs a repair to internal cistern components, and it is worth booking because continuous running can waste significant water. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Killara to confirm whether the issue is a valve, seal, or another toilet fault, then provide a fixed-price quote before repairs. If the cause is actually a drainage blockage, the next step is explained once inspection confirms scope.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly if water is escaping into walls, floors, or cabinetry, because moisture damage can build up quietly. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Killara to identify whether it is a fixture leak, a pipework issue, or something behind the wall, then provide fixed, upfront pricing before repairs start. If the job requires additional access or broader investigation, options are explained once scope is finalised.

Emergency and standard bookings are handled through localised dispatch points across Sydney, and capacity exists to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Killara by locating the restriction and removing it using suitable equipment such as CCTV check equipment and high-pressure water jetting. Many blockages can be resolved during the visit when the line is accessible and the cause is straightforward. If inspection shows structural damage or a section that needs repair, options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.
