Plumbing FAQ's in Loftus
Plumbing problems can be disruptive, especially when there is water where it should not be. These FAQs explain what usually happens next, what affects cost, and when an urgent booking is the safest option. If you are unsure, call and we will help you book the right technician for Loftus.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In most cases, it is safer to use a licensed plumbing professional, especially for leaks, drainage issues, and any gas work. DIY repairs can miss the real cause and may lead to more damage or repeat failures. Fixed Today Plumbing uses onsite diagnosis, then provides fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is confirmed on site, so you can make a clear decision before work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs in Loftus depend on what is faulty, how easy it is to access, and what parts are needed. After-hours urgency and the time on site can also change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote after the issue is confirmed onsite.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, hot water supply system repairs and installations, leaking taps, toilet repairs, broken pipe repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The right solution depends on what is found during diagnosis, and a fixed-price quote is provided once the scope is established onsite.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is required before quoting for 2232 post code jobs, because plumbing faults can look similar but have different causes. The attending technician confirms the affected area, checks access, and diagnoses the issue. Once the scope is clear, a fixed-price quote is provided before any work starts, so the price is agreed upfront.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain, and repair water, drainage, sewer, and gas systems in homes and businesses, along with fixtures such as taps, toilets, and showers. For regulated work, a licensed and insured plumbing technician is required to meet safety and compliance requirements. Fixed Today Plumbing attends with licensed technicians and confirms the scope onsite before quoting the job.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet usually needs a plumber to inspect the cistern parts and confirm what has failed. If it is close to overflowing and you can safely do so, turn off the toilet water supply to reduce water loss, then book a repair. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite, then provides fixed, upfront pricing before completing the work.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because ongoing moisture can damage surrounding walls, floors, and cabinetry. The right fix depends on where the water is escaping, and the source is not always obvious from the surface. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the cause onsite in Loftus, explains the repair options, then provides a fixed-price quote before work begins.
Do you service the entire Loftus area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Loftus 2232 and the broader Sydney metropolitan regions, including the Sutherland Shire. Emergency work is dispatched immediately, with urgent jobs sent out first and the nearest available technician allocated. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic, and we provide ETA updates where possible once the job is booked.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Loftus and across Sydney. The approach depends on what is causing the blockage and the condition of the pipework, which is why camera inspection is often used to confirm the location and cause. Once the scope is agreed onsite, a fixed-price quote is provided before repair or clearing work starts.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for plumbing emergencies in Loftus, and same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. An exact arrival time depends on current emergency workload, travel conditions, and access at the property. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, so you know what to expect.
