Plumbing FAQ's in Kingsford
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what will happen next and when the costs are confirmed. The answers below cover the questions we hear most often from Kingsford locals, including call-out expectations, safety, and what affects pricing. If your situation is urgent, you do not need to diagnose it, a quick description by phone is enough for us to book the right licensed field technician and provide an ETA.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage, and gas work in NSW, a licensed, insured plumber is the safer option for anything beyond very minor issues. Many jobs involve compliance requirements, hidden pipework, or safety risks, especially with gas and hot water. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers in NSW, and the scope is verified onsite before you receive a fixed-price quote to proceed.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is actually found onsite, including access, the location of the fault, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-fee quote before we begin once the scope is confirmed onsite. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general plumbing across Kingsford and the wider Sydney metro, including blocked drains, burst pipes, leak detection, toilet repairs, hot water work, gutter and roof leak plumbing work, and licensed gas fitting. The right approach depends on the system type and access, which is why the starting point is an onsite assessment before quoting.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in the Kingsford 2032 area are assessed onsite because accurate quoting depends on confirming the cause, access, and what is actually affected. After the assessment, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed price quote before work starts. This suburb page is listed as a no call-out fee area on our site, and it is still worth confirming booking details for urgent or after-hours attendance.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses, and licensed plumbers can also perform regulated work such as gas fitting where qualified. The key value is safe, compliant work and proper verification before leaving, not guesswork. Fixed Today Plumbing technicians are fully licensed NSW plumbers and work is completed to applicable Australian Standards.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal valve or seal, and it can waste a surprising amount of water over time. If it does not stop quickly, book a licensed and insured plumber to inspect it so the right part can be repaired or replaced. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the fault onsite, then provides a fixed-price quote before starting work.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because water can track into wall cavities and floors before it becomes visible outside the bathroom. The first step is confirming whether the leak is from plumbing connections, the mixer, or the shower lining and seals. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect and explain the findings onsite, then provide a fixed-price quote before repairs begin.
Do you service the entire Kingsford area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Kingsford 2032 and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including the Eastern Suburbs district. We also have capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. Availability and arrival timing depend on current bookings, traffic, and site access, and ETA updates are provided where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains, and the job starts with finding the restriction so the clearing method matches the pipe condition. CCTV inspection is often used to confirm the cause and location, then high-pressure water jetting is used where suitable to restore flow. If structural damage is found, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is agreed.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed service technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. Exact arrival time depends on workload, traffic, and access, and we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.
