Plumbing FAQ's in Linley Point
Plumbing problems are disruptive, especially when water is leaking or a drain is backing up. These FAQ answers explain what locals in Linley Point usually want to know before booking, including how pricing works, what affects timing, and when a job needs urgent attention. If you need a NSW-licensed and insured plumbing technician, our phone line is open 24/7 for emergency and after-hours enquiries.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In NSW, many plumbing and all gas fitting tasks should be handled by a licensed plumbing technician (NSW) because poor workmanship can create safety risks and property damage. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers to Linley Point jobs, and the work is completed to applicable Australian Standards. If the issue involves active leaking, sewer overflow, or any gas concern, arrange an assessment rather than attempting a repair.
How much does plumbing cost?
Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you know the cost once the scope is confirmed onsite onsite. Price depends on what is found during diagnosis, access to the pipework, and whether parts or specialised repair methods are required. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid) helps avoid surprises.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles general plumbing, blocked drains, hot water systems, burst and leaking pipes, roof and gutter leaks, toilet repairs, shower repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The attending technician confirms the specific fault onsite before quoting, because symptoms can be misleading. If inspection shows a related issue, such as a drain fault connected to a toilet problem, the options are explained and scoped before proceeding.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing confirms Linley Point plumbing issues onsite before providing a fixed-price quote, because accurate pricing depends on access and what the inspection shows. A phone description helps us send the right technician and tools, but the fixed price is provided once the scope is confirmed onsite in person. If further work is recommended after inspection, inclusions and exclusions are explained before you decide.
What do plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses, and a properly licensed gas fitter handles regulated gas work. In Linley Point, a typical visit involves diagnosing the fault, confirming what needs to be done, then completing the repair and checking that it works properly. If the issue is in a concealed area, the plumber explains what is required to access it before any work proceeds.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs a plumber when it keeps refilling, will not stop after flushing, or is leaking into the bowl continuously. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cistern and connected plumbing in Linley Point, then provide a fixed-price quote once the cause is confirmed. If the running toilet is linked to a blockage or drainage restriction, the technician will explain the next step after inspection.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A shower leak should be assessed promptly, because water can spread into wall cavities or floors before it becomes visible. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the shower area in Linley Point, identify the likely source, and provide a fixed-price quote before repairs begin. If the leak appears connected to concealed pipework or broader bathroom issues, the options are explained and scoped clearly first.
Do you service the entire Linley Point area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Linley Point and the wider Sydney metropolitan regions, including the North Shore. For emergencies, we can service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, subject to availability and current workload. If your property has access limits, such as strata booking windows or restricted parking, let us know when booking so arrival planning is realistic.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Linley Point and uses drain inspection cameras to locate the cause before choosing a clearing method. This approach helps avoid repeat callouts caused by hidden issues like structural damage. If inspection shows the pipe needs repair, options such as structural pipe repair or pipe lining are explained and quoted once the scope is finalised.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Linley Point, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available licensed and fully insured plumber is allocated from Sydney dispatch points. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic, and we provide ETA updates where possible. For non-urgent work, same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
