Plumbing FAQ's in Lalor Park
These FAQ answers cover what Lalor Park locals usually want to know before booking a correctly licensed NSW plumber, including what counts as urgent, how pricing works, and what to expect on arrival. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency services and same-day service for standard enquiries across Sydney, with fixed, upfront pricing once the job is assessed onsite. If your situation is unclear, a quick call is enough to confirm urgency and book the right technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in Lalor Park, hiring a licensed and insured plumber is the safer choice for anything beyond very minor, non-urgent issues. DIY work can create water damage, hygiene risks, or gas safety hazards, and it can also cause problems with warranties and future inspections. A licensed and adequately insured plumber can confirm the cause onsite and provide a fixed price quote before starting.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work, access to the fault, parts required, and whether it needs to be treated as an after-hours emergency. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed price quote after an onsite assessment and before work begins. Ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies in Lalor Park.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing offers domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including Lalor Park. Common work includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, drain relining, CCTV inspections, hot water repairs and installations, leaking taps, burst pipe repairs, roof and gutter leaks, water filter installations, backflow prevention, and licensed gas fitting. The right approach depends on the onsite diagnosis and access to the affected area.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, plumbing jobs in Lalor Park are assessed onsite before pricing is finalised. Accurate quoting usually requires confirming the fault location, access, and what parts are needed. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed price quote with no surprise charges before we start, and quotes are good for 30 days from the date issued. This reduces surprise costs because the scope is clear first.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses. That can include pipework, toilets, taps, showers, hot water systems, drains, and roof plumbing. In NSW, gas fitting and drainage work must be completed by appropriately licensed tradespeople. In emergencies, the focus is usually isolating risk, stopping damage, then repairing and testing the system.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal valve or a cistern component that is not sealing properly. It is often a straightforward repair, but it can waste a surprising amount of water if left running. If the toilet will not stop running, or if there is water leaking onto the floor, it is worth booking a properly licensed and properly insured plumber to inspect it and quote the repair upfront.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by a failed mixer, worn seals, cracked fittings, or leaking pipework behind the wall. Even small leaks matter because water can travel into wall cavities and flooring. If you can see water pooling, damage to nearby paint or skirting, or the leak is getting worse, arrange an inspection so the cause can be confirmed and quoted before repairs begin.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains across Lalor Park and greater Sydney.
