Plumbing FAQ's in Lalor Park
These FAQs explain how plumbing work is typically handled in Lalor Park, including what affects pricing, what happens on the first visit, and what "emergency" means in practice. If you are unsure how urgent your situation is, you can call and describe what is happening. The right technician can then be allocated from our Sydney dispatch points, including the West Sydney hub, and an ETA can be provided where possible.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage, and gas work in Lalor Park, hiring a licensed and fully insured plumber is the safer option when there is a leak, overflow, or anything involving gas. DIY work can create property damage, safety risks, or compliance problems. If you are unsure, it is usually enough to book an assessment so the cause can be confirmed and quoted clearly before any work begins.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Lalor Park depends on the confirmed scope, access to the fault, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a total price after the site assessment and before we start. The Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Lalor Park and wider Sydney, including blocked drains, hot water systems, leak repairs, roof and gutter leaks, toilet repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The practical limit is what can be safely assessed and accessed onsite. If inspection identifies a larger repair, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend a Lalor Park property to assess the issue in person, because accurate pricing depends on the actual cause and access. After diagnosis, a fixed price quote with no hidden fees is provided before work starts, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued. If you are booking, confirm the call-out fee status as it can vary by area.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses, including toilets, taps, drains, hot water service systems, and roof plumbing. Some plumbers are also licensed gas fitters, which is required for gas appliance installation and gas leakage repairs. In Lalor Park, the safest approach is to have regulated work assessed and completed by a properly licensed technician.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet in Lalor Park usually needs a plumber to confirm whether the inlet valve, flush valve, or cistern components are worn or misfitting. Continuing to use it can waste water and increase bills over time. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet, explain what needs replacing, then provide a fixed-price quote before completing the repair.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often needs an onsite check because the water can be coming from the shower head, tapware, mixer, or plumbing connections behind the wall. Ongoing leaks can damage surrounding surfaces, so it is worth booking an assessment rather than guessing. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the source, explains the repair, and provides upfront pricing before any work starts.
Do you service the entire Lalor Park area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Lalor Park NSW 2147 as part of its coverage of all Sydney metropolitan regions. Localised dispatch points across Sydney help allocate the nearest available licensed trade technician, and same-day service is available for standard enquiries. For emergency calls, the business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Lalor Park using CCTV drain cameras to locate the restriction and high-pressure jetting to restore flow where suitable. This covers many common household and property drainage blockages that can be accessed for inspection. If the camera shows broken or collapsed pipework, the repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite.
How fast can you come?
For Lalor Park emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated. Same-day service is available for all routine plumbing and gas enquiries, subject to bookings. Arrival timing depends on current workload and traffic, so an ETA is provided where possible and updated if conditions change.
