Plumbing FAQ's in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase
Plumbing problems feel more urgent when you don't know what will happen next or what it will cost. These answers explain how Fixed Today Plumbing handles emergency and general plumbing work in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase, including quoting, timing, and what changes the scope.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase, a correctly licensed plumbing technician is the safer option when water damage, hygiene risks, or gas safety are involved. DIY work can create leaks inside walls, damage fixtures, or lead to non-compliant gas work. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite, explains the scope in plain English, then provides fixed, upfront pricing before repairs begin.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of the fault, access to the affected area, 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 clear job price after inspection and scope confirmation. If you want clarity on any call-out fee for Ku-Ring-Gai Chase, confirm it when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across the Sydney metro area, including Ku-Ring-Gai Chase. This includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water repairs and installations, leak detection, broken pipe repairs, gas fitting, and general plumbing maintenance. The exact approach depends on what inspection shows onsite, and you'll receive a fixed-price quote before work starts.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend your Ku-Ring-Gai Chase property to inspect the problem and provide a fixed price quote before work begins. Accurate quoting usually needs an onsite inspection because access, pipe layout, and the cause of the fault can't be confirmed from a phone description alone. Quotes are good for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain, and repair water and drainage systems, and licensed gas fitters can also work on gas piping and appliances. In practical terms, this includes finding leaks, fixing ruptured pipes, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, and installing hot water systems. For regulated work, a licensed field technician is required, and compliance paperwork is provided where required.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a faulty inlet valve or flush valve inside the cistern, and it can waste a lot of water if left. If it's overflowing and you know where the isolation tap is, turning it off can limit damage. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet onsite, explain what has failed, then quote a fixed price to repair it.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because water can travel behind tiles or under floors before you see obvious damage. The next step is an onsite inspection to confirm whether the leak is from plumbing fixtures or another source, then the repair scope is quoted. Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, upfront pricing once the cause and access are confirmed.
Do you service the entire Ku-Ring-Gai Chase area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Ku-Ring-Gai Chase and the wider Sydney metro area. The business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and services are delivered from localised dispatch points across Sydney. If your property has access constraints or a specific booking window, mention it when booking so the visit can be planned.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Ku-Ring-Gai Chase by locating the cause and restoring flow, then explaining what was found. This covers most standard blockages in accessible household lines; if inspection indicates pipe damage or a more complex issue, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is defined. Work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.
How fast can you come?
For Ku-Ring-Gai Chase emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are allocated first to the nearest available licensed trade technician from our Sydney dispatch points.
