Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what happens next.

Should I hire a skilled plumbing technician in Kingsford or do it myself?
Hiring a licensed plumbing specialist is the safest option for most plumbing faults in Kingsford, especially anything involving gas, drainage, concealed leaks, or hot water. Plumbing work can affect safety and compliance, and the true cause is often only confirmed after inspection. If it is urgent, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend 24/7 and confirm the scope onsite before quoting.
How much does plumbing cost in Kingsford?
Plumbing cost in Kingsford depends on the scope confirmed onsite, because access, the affected area, parts required, and after-hours urgency can change what is needed. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts, so you can decide once the price is clear.

Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is usually required in Kingsford (2032) to quote accurately, because photos and phone descriptions can miss access issues or hidden damage. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the affected area and the repair approach first, then provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. If the inspection reveals a bigger issue than expected, options are explained and priced once the scope is confirmed.
What do plumbers do?
Plumbers repair and install water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses, and the work often includes finding the cause of leaks or blockages. In NSW, regulated work must be completed by licensed tradespeople. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, so attending technicians can carry out the required work safely and correctly.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually means an internal part is not sealing correctly, so water keeps refilling the cistern. It is rarely dangerous, but it can waste a lot of water and sometimes leads to a larger failure. A plumber can confirm the cause quickly, then provide transparent pricing once the correct parts and access are known.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly, because water can travel into wall cavities and floors before you notice visible damage. The cause could be a fitting, a seal, or concealed pipework, and the correct fix depends on what is found onsite. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the shower, explain what is leaking, and provide a flat-rate quote before repairs start.
Do you service the entire Kingsford area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Kingsford and all Sydney metro areas, including the Eastern Suburbs district. For emergency calls, there is capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. Availability and arrival timing still depend on current bookings, traffic conditions, and access instructions, so it is best to confirm details when booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also handles structural pipe repair and no-dig drain relining when required. Drain problems are typically confirmed using CCTV inspection equipment, then cleared using methods suited to the blockage and pipe condition. If inspection shows broken or collapsed sections, the repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is clarified.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies in Kingsford, meaning urgent jobs are allocated first and the nearest available technician is sent from localised dispatch points across Sydney. An ETA is provided when booking where possible, and updates are shared if conditions change. Arrival timing depends on current workload, traffic, and property access.
