Plumbing FAQ's in Lavender Bay
Plumbing problems are disruptive, and it is hard to make decisions when you are not sure what is involved or what it will cost. These FAQs cover how bookings work in Lavender Bay, what affects pricing, and what to expect from a licensed plumber onsite. If your situation does not fit any of the questions below, call and we will confirm the safest next step and book the right technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Most plumbing and all gas work is safest when handled by a licensed professional, because water and gas faults can create property damage and safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers in NSW, and technicians can confirm identity on arrival before entry. If the issue involves a leak, sewer backup, or gas smell, book an inspection so the scope can be confirmed and quoted before work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of work, access to the affected area, and what parts are needed once the fault is identified. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you have time to decide once the problem is properly assessed.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general plumbing, drainage, hot water work, leak detection, roof and gutter leak repairs, and licensed gas fitting in Lavender Bay. This includes blocked drains, toilet repairs, burst pipe repairs, and hot water servicing for major brands. If inspection shows the issue is broader than a standard repair, the options are explained and the scope is established before any additional work proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing offers quotes after an onsite assessment, because many plumbing problems cannot be priced accurately without confirming access and the cause. In Lavender Bay 2060, we first inspect the affected fixtures or pipework, then provide fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is clear. If additional work is required after inspection, it is explained and quoted before proceeding.
What do plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water and drainage systems, and licensed gas fitters work on gas appliances and gas pipework. This covers things like taps, toilets, showers, hot water systems, drains, and leak identification. Fixed Today Plumbing provides plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting services across Sydney, and all attending technicians are licensed and insured plumbers in NSW.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running usually needs an internal cistern part repaired or replaced, because the seal is not closing correctly. It is best to book a NSW-fully licensed plumber so the right parts can be fitted and the toilet can be tested before leaving. If the toilet is overflowing, shut off the water supply if you can do so safely, then arrange an urgent booking.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly, because ongoing water ingress can damage walls, floors, and cabinetry over time. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm whether the leak is coming from a plumbing fitting, the waste connection, or another source, then provide a flat-rate quote once the scope is confirmed. If the findings suggest non-plumbing works are required, the options are explained clearly.
Do you service the entire Lavender Bay area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Lavender Bay and the wider Sydney metro regions, including the North Shore. For emergencies, we allocate the nearest available technician from our localised dispatch points across Sydney, and for standard enquiries we offer same-day service where availability allows. If your site has restricted access or parking, share that at booking so arrival planning is accurate.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and investigates the cause so the blockage is less likely to return. A standard approach is to inspect with a CCTV drain camera, then clear the restriction using equipment such as high-pressure water jetting, depending on what is found. If inspection shows a damaged pipe, repair options are explained and quoted once scope is agreed.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Lavender Bay, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed and fully insured plumber is allocated. For non-urgent plumbing and gas enquiries, same-day service is available. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, access arrangements, and traffic, but we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.
