Should I hire a plumber or try to fix it myself?
Hiring a licensed plumbing specialist is the safer choice when the issue involves gas, hidden leaks, repeated blockages, or any fault that could damage a property. DIY attempts can make the final repair harder and, in some cases, create compliance problems later. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the issue onsite, explain the cause, and provide a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
How much does a plumber cost in Liverpool?
Plumbing costs vary because the scope changes from job to job. Access, the affected area, parts required, and after-hours urgency all influence pricing. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you see the price after the onsite assessment confirms the scope. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What plumbing work can Fixed Today Plumbing do in Liverpool?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting services in Liverpool, plus specialist work like CCTV drain inspections, drain blockage clearing, drain relining, and hot water unit service and replacement. The exact approach depends on what the onsite diagnosis confirms, and a fixed-price quote is provided before repairs or installations begin.
Do you need to come out to quote in Liverpool?
Yes, most jobs in Liverpool need an onsite assessment before a quote is accurate. The same symptom can have different causes, and access can change what is involved. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the issue onsite, explains what has been found, and then provides fixed, upfront pricing before work starts. If the scope changes, options are explained and quoted before proceeding.
What does a plumber actually do on the first visit?
A first visit is usually about confirming the cause and the scope, not guessing. The plumber checks the affected fixtures and pipework, confirms access, and uses appropriate diagnostic tools where needed. Fixed Today Plumbing then explains the findings in plain English and provides a fixed-price quote before repairs begin. Testing is completed after the work to confirm the problem is resolved.
My toilet keeps running, do I need a plumber?
A continuously running toilet usually means an internal component has failed or is not sealing properly, and it can waste a surprising amount of water over time. A plumber is recommended if the running does not stop quickly, if there is water on the floor, or if the toilet is leaking at the base. Fixed Today Plumbing can diagnose the cause onsite and quote before repair.
I have a leaking shower, what happens next?
A leaking shower is often more than a faulty shower head. Water can travel behind tiles or into wall cavities, which can damage plaster and timber over time. A plumber should assess the leak if there are water marks, swelling, mould, or a persistent damp smell. Fixed Today Plumbing can locate the source and provide fixed pricing once the the scope is confirmed onsite.

Can you unblock drains in Liverpool?
Yes, drain blockage clearing is a core service, and it is handled by locating the restriction and clearing it with the appropriate method for the pipework. Fixed Today Plumbing can also complete CCTV inspections to confirm why the line blocked, especially when the issue keeps returning. If the inspection shows damaged pipes, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.
