Plumbing FAQ's in Kirribilli
These are practical answers to common plumbing questions we hear from Kirribilli residents, strata managers, and local businesses. Each answer explains what usually happens next and what affects price or timing, without you needing to diagnose the fault. If you need urgent help, Fixed Today Plumbing has 24/7 emergency plumbing support for commercial and domestic clients.
When do I need a licensed and insured plumbing technician instead of trying to fix it myself?
You should book a licensed plumbing professional when there is a safety risk (gas smell), active water leakage, sewage backup, or when the fault may involve regulated work. Licensed work helps ensure compliance and protects you if future checks or paperwork are required. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite and provides fixed, upfront pricing before any work starts.
What affects the price of plumbing in Kirribilli?
Plumbing price is mainly driven by the confirmed scope, access to the affected pipework or fixture, the parts required, and whether the work is urgent after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you see the full cost once the issue is diagnosed. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What plumbing work do you handle in Kirribilli?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting across Kirribilli for domestic and commercial clients. Common work includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, drain relining, CCTV inspections, hot water installation and repairs, leaking taps and pipes, gutter and roof leaks, toilet repairs, and gas leak detection. If inspection shows extra work is needed, it is explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an on-site inspection is usually required to quote accurately, especially for drainage, leaks, and hot water faults where the cause is not visible. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the issue first, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden costs before work begins. If access limits the inspection, the options are explained and scope is confirmed on site before extra work proceeds.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Kirribilli?
Fixed Today Plumbing has no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), and the simplest way to confirm what applies in Kirribilli is to ask when booking. Regardless of call-out arrangements, pricing is fixed and upfront once the scope is established onsite. The Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.
My toilet keeps running, is it urgent?
A running toilet is not usually an immediate safety risk, but it can waste a lot of water and increase bills if left for days. Fixed Today Plumbing can diagnose whether the problem is in the cistern parts or related to the inlet/valve, then provide a fixed-fee quote before repairs. If there is overflowing or sewage backup, stop using the toilet and book urgent attendance.
My shower is leaking, how urgent is it in an apartment?
A shower leak in an apartment should be checked promptly because water can spread into walls or floors and may affect neighbouring lots. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm whether the issue is a fitting, a drain problem, or another plumbing fault, then quote upfront once the scope is clear. If access depends on strata rules or booking windows, those details are worked around when disclosed.
Do you service the entire Kirribilli area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Kirribilli and the wider North Shore as part of our Sydney metropolitan coverage. The business also has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. Attendance timing still depends on current bookings and traffic, but urgent jobs are sent out first and ETA updates are provided where possible.
Can you unblock drains in Kirribilli?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and completes sewer repairs, including CCTV inspections and structural pipe repair options such as pipe lining. The blockage is located first, then cleared using suitable equipment, and the line is checked to confirm flow is restored. If inspection shows structural damage rather than a simple obstruction, options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite.
How fast can you come out to Kirribilli?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. The plumber is allocated from local dispatch points across Sydney, and urgent jobs are sent out first. An ETA is provided when booking where possible, but arrival timing depends on current jobs and traffic conditions.
