Plumbing FAQ's in Lucas Heights
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what happens next and how pricing is set. These FAQs cover the questions we hear most from Lucas Heights locals, especially during urgent call-outs. If your situation is different, a quick phone call can confirm urgency and book the right fully licensed plumbing technician without you needing to diagnose the fault.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Hiring a licensed plumbing professional is the safer option for most urgent plumbing problems in Lucas Heights, especially anything involving leaks, drainage, or gas. A professional assessment helps prevent hidden damage and ensures the work meets applicable standards. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the scope onsite first, then provides fixed, upfront pricing so you can decide once the cause is clear.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs change based on the scope, access, the parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) once the issue is assessed, and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid. Ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies for Lucas Heights.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Lucas Heights and Sydney, including blocked drains and sewer repairs, hot water service installations and repairs, burst and leaking pipe repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The best way to confirm what applies to your job is an onsite assessment, because access and existing pipework can change the scope and the fixed price.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Lucas Heights are quoted after an onsite assessment so the scope can be confirmed accurately. Phone quotes can be unreliable if the cause is hidden or access is limited. Once the inspection is completed, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before we start. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. That can include pipes, toilets, showers, hot water systems, and drainage lines. In NSW, gas fitting and some drainage work also require specific licensing. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, so work can be completed and verified properly.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs a repair to the inlet or flushing components, because the system is not sealing correctly. It can waste a surprising amount of water and may cause staining or moisture issues over time. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cistern and pan, confirm the cause, then quote the repair at a fixed price before replacing parts where needed.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early because water can track into walls, floors, and cabinetry before it becomes apparent. The leak might be from a fitting, a connection, or pipework behind the surface. Fixed Today Plumbing inspects the likely sources, confirms what is accessible, then provides fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is clear.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using diagnostic tools such as CCTV inspection equipment and clearing methods like high-pressure water jetting where suitable. The goal is to restore flow and confirm what caused the blockage. If the CCTV check shows structural damage to the line, options like repair or no-dig pipe relining are explained and quoted once the the scope is confirmed.
