Plumbing FAQ's in Kingsgrove
These are straightforward answers to questions we hear from Kingsgrove locals during urgent plumbing and gas callouts. Each answer is written to help you understand what happens next, what affects price, and what is confirmed onsite before work begins. If you need to book, Fixed Today Plumbing is available 24/7 on 1800 349 338.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, for anything beyond a very minor, obvious issue, a properly licensed plumbing technician is the safer choice. Plumbing and gas work can create water damage, hygiene risks, and compliance problems if it is not completed correctly. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW technicians, and the business is fully insured. If inspection shows a larger fault than expected, options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed on site.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is actually found onsite, because access, the affected area, parts required, and urgency can all change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out details when booking. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing offers general domestic and commercial plumbing, plus specialist work such as drain blockage cleaning, structural pipe repair, hot water system repair and installation, gas leak location and new gas connections, broken pipe repairs, leak detection, and no-dig drain relining. If the issue needs regulated work, it is handled by licensed NSW technicians and verified before completion.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, emergency and repair work in Kingsgrove is usually quoted after an onsite assessment, because pricing cannot be accurate without seeing access, the affected fixtures, and what has actually failed. The first visit is used to confirm the scope and explain the options in plain English. Once the scope is verified, you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts so you can decide with clear information.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, waste, and drainage systems, and licensed gas fitters work on gas appliances and pipework. In a home, that commonly includes toilets, taps, showers, hot water systems, drainage, and leak repairs. For regulated work, a licensed tradesperson is required so the work can be completed to applicable Australian Standards and safely tested before being put back into use.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn inlet valve or a flush seal that is not sealing properly. A plumber can confirm the cause and replace the correct parts without guesswork. If the toilet is overflowing, isolate the water only if you can do so safely, then book a properly correctly licensed NSW plumber to prevent water damage. The final fix and price depend on what the onsite inspection finds.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often involves more than the shower head, because water can escape through taps, seals, or pipework behind the wall. The practical next step is an onsite assessment so the leak source can be confirmed and the right repair can be quoted. If there is visible water spreading, book promptly to reduce the chance of damage to cabinetry, flooring, or wall linings.
Do you service the entire Kingsgrove area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Kingsgrove 2208 and the broader Sydney metro areas, including the St George district. For emergencies, the team also has the capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. Availability and arrival timing depend on current bookings, access conditions at the property, and traffic at the time of attendance.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and can also handle structural pipe repair and no-dig pipe relining where inspection shows pipe damage. The right solution depends on what is causing the blockage and whether the pipe is intact. Once the drain is assessed, you receive a fixed-price quote before any repair or clearing begins, and the result is verified before the job is closed out.
How fast can you come?
For Kingsgrove emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. An ETA is provided when booking where possible, and we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. Arrival timing still depends on the current workload, traffic, and access to the property.
