Plumbing FAQ's in Lugarno
Hiring a plumber can feel uncertain, especially when the issue is urgent and you do not know what it will cost. These are practical questions we are asked by people in Lugarno, with clear answers based on how plumbing jobs are assessed and quoted. If your question is not covered, call us and we will confirm the right next step.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In most cases, plumbing and gas faults should be handled by a licensed and insured plumber because incorrect repairs can create safety risks and property damage. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed and adequately insured plumbers in NSW to jobs in Lugarno, and the problem is assessed onsite before any work begins. If it is a simple fix it can often be handled on the spot, and if it is more complex, the options are explained once scope is confirmed on site.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the problem area, parts required, and whether the job is urgent after hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, transparent pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed-price quote after the onsite assessment and before work starts. If the scope changes after inspection, the updated options are explained and re-quoted before proceeding.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Lugarno, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe relining, CCTV inspections, hot water supply service installations and repairs, and licensed gas fitting. All attending technicians are properly licensed NSW plumbers. The exact work completed depends on what is found during the onsite diagnosis, and pricing is confirmed upfront once scope is clear.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Lugarno need an onsite inspection because plumbing faults are difficult to price accurately without confirming access and the exact cause. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a flat-rate quote after diagnosing the issue and before work starts. Many Sydney areas have no call-out fee (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out fee details when booking in Lugarno.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and (where licensed) gas systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixing leaks, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets, and installing hot water systems. In regulated work, a fully properly licensed NSW plumber is required to meet safety requirements and applicable Australian Standards. The best next step is an site assessment so the cause and repair scope can be confirmed before pricing is set.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running usually has a worn internal component, but it can also point to other faults that waste water over time. The safest approach is to book a licensed and insured plumber to inspect the cistern and connections, then provide fixed, transparent pricing before repairs begin. If inspection shows the suite or seal needs replacement, options are explained and quoted once the scope is agreed.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be caused by a faulty shower head, a worn valve, or a leak inside the wall that only shows up as dampness or damage later. If there is active leaking or water damage is visible, it should be assessed promptly by a NSW-NSW-licensed plumber. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the source onsite, then provides a fixed-price quote before any repair work starts.
Do you service the entire Lugarno area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Lugarno 2210 and the St George district. For emergency calls, we have the capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. Whether we attend from West Sydney, Dolans Bay, or another dispatch point depends on availability and urgency, and we provide arrival updates where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using professional drainage equipment, including drain inspection cameras for diagnostics and high-pressure water jetting for debris removal. The drain is assessed first to confirm whether it is a straightforward blockage or whether there is damage that needs repair. Once the scope is confirmed, you receive fixed, upfront pricing before any further work proceeds.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Lugarno, Fixed Today Plumbing dispatches immediately and allocates the nearest available technician from our local Sydney dispatch points. Arrival time depends on current bookings and traffic, but we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. For non-urgent issues, same-day service is available where scheduling allows, and the booking team can confirm the next available time.
