Plumbing FAQ's in Lucas Heights
Plumbing problems are easier to handle when you know what will happen next. These FAQs cover how booking works in Lucas Heights, what affects pricing, and when a job is considered urgent. If your question is not listed, the phone line is open 24/7 for emergency calls and same-day bookings are available for standard enquiries.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in Lucas Heights, hiring a licensed professional is the safer option. Plumbing repairs can involve hidden water damage, gas safety risks, and compliance requirements, and incorrect work can create bigger faults later. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite, then provides a fixed-price quote before starting work so you can decide with clear scope.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access, and parts required, not just the symptom you can see. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and you receive a fixed-price quote before work starts. If you are booking from Lucas Heights, ask whether a call-out fee applies for your address when scheduling.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing and gas services across Sydney, including Lucas Heights. Common work includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water systems, leaking taps, gutter and roof leaks, broken pipes, leak detection, and licensed gas fitting. The exact repair approach depends on what an onsite inspection finds, and it is quoted before work starts.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend Lucas Heights to assess the job and provide a fixed-price quote onsite. Accurate pricing usually requires seeing access, the affected fixtures or pipework, and any water or gas safety risks. After the inspection, the scope is explained in plain English and you receive upfront pricing before any work proceeds.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses. This includes pipes, taps, toilets, showers, hot water systems, roof plumbing, and drainage. In NSW, gas fitting also requires the correct licensing, and Fixed Today Plumbing is properly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting so regulated work is handled correctly.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually indicates a worn inlet or outlet seal inside the cistern, and it can waste significant water if it is left. The safest option is to book a licensed plumbing professional to diagnose and repair it properly, especially if the toilet is leaking onto the floor. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the cause onsite and provide fixed upfront pricing before repair.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by the tapware, the shower head, a failed seal, or a leak behind the wall. The risk is hidden water damage, because water can travel before it becomes visible. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the shower onsite, confirm the leak source, and provide a fixed-price quote before any repair starts, based on the confirmed scope.
Do you service the entire Lucas Heights area?
Yes, Lucas Heights 2234 is within Fixed Today Plumbing's Sydney metropolitan service area. Emergency work can be attended 24/7 and standard enquiries can often be booked for same day service, depending on availability. For emergency calls, the business can service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, and the nearest available technician is allocated once the job is logged.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Lucas Heights using professional diagnostics and clearing methods. CCTV drain cameras help confirm whether the blockage is simple debris, grease build-up, or a pipe condition issue such as root intrusion. Once the cause is confirmed, a fixed-price quote is provided before we start, and the line is checked again after clearing.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies in Lucas Heights, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from local Sydney dispatch points. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and access, but ETA updates are provided where possible once the job is scheduled. Same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
