Plumbing FAQ's in Leightonfield
Plumbing problems are disruptive, especially when they affect bathrooms, kitchens, or business operations. These FAQs explain what usually happens on an emergency callout in Leightonfield, what affects pricing, and what you can expect when booking. If you are unsure how urgent it is, call and we can help confirm the next step and organise an attending correctly licensed plumber.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, for emergencies or anything involving gas, sewer, or hidden leaks, it is safer to book a licensed plumber (NSW) (NSW). Plumbing work can involve compliance requirements and risks to property if the cause is not correctly identified. Fixed Today Plumbing sends attending technicians who are duly licensed NSW plumbers, and the scope is confirmed on site onsite before a fixed-price quote is provided.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope of the fault, access to the pipework, and parts required, especially after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote before starting work once the issue is assessed onsite. If you are unsure whether a call-out fee applies in Leightonfield, confirm it when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, burst pipe repairs and water leak detection, hot water systems, and licensed gas fitting. The right solution depends on what is found during diagnosis, and if the inspection shows additional damage, options are explained and quoted once the the scope is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, for most emergency faults an onsite assessment is needed before a reliable flat-rate quote can be provided. Photos or phone descriptions can miss access limits, the exact leak source, or whether the problem is in one fixture or the main line. Once the attending plumber confirms the scope, you receive transparent pricing before work starts.
What do plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. In an emergency, the job is usually to make the situation safe, stop damage, and restore function, then verify the system is working properly before leaving. For gas work, the work must be completed by a correctly licensed gas fitter.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet usually needs a repair to the inlet valve or flush valve, and it can waste a lot of water. If the toilet is also overflowing, backing up, or affecting other drains, stop using it and book an urgent assessment because a blockage may be involved. Once diagnosed onsite, a fixed-price quote is provided before repairs begin.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by failed tap washers, worn mixers, or waterproofing and drainage issues behind the wall. If water is spreading to nearby rooms or the ceiling below, book urgent help to limit damage. The attending plumber confirms whether it is a plumbing repair or a larger scope, then quotes upfront once the scope is clear.

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and sewer issues and can use drain inspection cameras for diagnostics and high-pressure water jetting to remove debris once access is available. If the inspection shows a damaged or collapsed pipe rather than a simple blockage, the repair options are explained and quoted after the scope is finalised.
