Plumbing problems in Kogarah Bay are easier to manage when you know what will happen next, how pricing is handled, and what is considered urgent. These FAQs cover the questions we hear most often from local residents, landlords, and businesses. If your situation does not match any of the questions below, call 1800 349 338 and we will confirm the right next step and book an attending technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In most cases, it is safer to book a duly licensed plumbing technician, especially for leaks, blocked drains, hot water faults, or anything involving gas. Licensed work helps protect the property and ensures work is completed to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements. If an inspection finds a simple fix, it can be quoted and completed. If it is more involved, the options are explained before work proceeds.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is actually required once the problem is inspected, including access, parts needed, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing once scope is confirmed onsite, so you can decide based on a clear job price. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. Confirm call-out fee status when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including blocked drains, leak repairs, hot water service repair and installation, toilet and tap repairs, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. The exact approach depends on the cause and access. If inspection shows a structural fault in pipework, the repair options are explained and quoted once the the scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite visit is usually required in Kogarah Bay to confirm what is causing the issue and what access is available. After the assessment, a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts, so you can make a decision with clear inclusions and exclusions. If inspection shows a larger fault than expected, any extra work is discussed and quoted before proceeding.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. In NSW, regulated plumbing and gas fitting work must be completed by a licensed professional. Many jobs start with diagnosing the cause, then completing a repair and testing it for correct operation. If the issue is outside the property boundary or needs specialist work, the next steps are explained after inspection.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by worn internal components in the cistern, and it can waste a lot of water. The safest option is to book a plumber to inspect and replace the correct parts, because the fix depends on the specific valve and cistern type. If the toilet is overflowing or creating a hygiene risk, stop using it and arrange an urgent attendance.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often indicates a worn fitting, failed seal, or pipework leak, and the impact is usually hidden water damage over time. A plumber can confirm where the water is escaping and what repair will actually stop it. If the leak is active or affecting nearby rooms, book an urgent inspection. Once the scope is established, the repair is quoted before work begins.
Do you service the entire Kogarah Bay area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Kogarah Bay and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including the wider St George area. For emergencies, there is capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. Attendance depends on current bookings and traffic, but emergencies are immediately dispatched and urgent jobs are sent out first, with ETA updates where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and completes structural pipe repair, including no-dig pipe relining where suitable. Clearing normally starts with locating the restriction, often using CCTV drain cameras, then removing it with high-pressure water jetting. If the camera shows damaged pipework rather than a simple blockage, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.
