Plumbing FAQ's in Lewisham
Emergency plumbing is easier to organise when you know what will happen on the first visit and how pricing is handled. These FAQs explain how Fixed Today Plumbing works in Lewisham, including arrival expectations, quoting, and what can change the scope once the issue is inspected onsite.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies in Lewisham, a licensed and insured plumbing technician is the safe option because water and gas faults can cause property damage or safety risks quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing uses onsite diagnosis, then fixed, upfront pricing before work starts. If inspection shows the problem is larger than expected, options are explained and quoted once scope is established.
How much does plumbing cost?
Emergency plumbing cost depends on the scope once the fault is confirmed onsite, including access, parts required, and whether the work is urgent after hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), with a fixed-fee quote provided before work starts and no hidden costs.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles common Lewisham emergency and general plumbing work including blocked drains, ruptured pipes, hot water repairs, toilet repairs, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. The exact solution depends on what inspection finds, so the work is scoped first and then quoted as a fixed price before proceeding.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the issue onsite in Lewisham before quoting, because access, pipe condition, and the location of the fault affect what is required. Once the scope is clarified, you receive a fixed price quote before we begin. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. In an emergency, the first job is to make the situation safe and stop damage, then confirm the cause and complete repairs to meet Australian Standards. In Lewisham, this often includes working around access constraints in older homes or strata buildings.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a failing valve or seal, and it can waste a lot of water quickly. If you can safely isolate the water to the toilet, do so, then book a licensed plumber (NSW) to inspect it. Fixed Today Plumbing will confirm the cause onsite and provide fixed, upfront pricing before repairs begin.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be a minor fitting issue or a concealed leak behind the wall, and the right fix depends on access and what is actually leaking. If water is actively escaping, stop using the shower and arrange an inspection. Fixed Today Plumbing assesses the source onsite in Lewisham and quotes a fixed price once scope is confirmed onsite.
Do you service the entire Lewisham area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metro areas, including Lewisham 2049 and surrounding Inner West suburbs. Emergency calls can be attended across the metro area, with capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. The attending technician is allocated based on availability and location.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing provides blocked drain cleaning in Lewisham, starting with an onsite assessment to locate the restriction and confirm whether the pipe is simply blocked or also damaged. After scope is confirmed onsite, a fixed-price quote is provided before clearing work begins. If structural repair is needed, options are explained and quoted.
How fast can you come?
For Lewisham emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are allocated first to the nearest available licensed field technician. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, so an ETA is provided when booking and updated where possible. Same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
