Plumbing FAQ's in Manahan
These are practical answers to common questions we hear from Manahan customers, especially when the situation is urgent or the price is unclear. If your question is not covered, call and describe what is happening. A properly licensed plumber can confirm urgency, book the right technician, and explain what will be checked onsite before any quote is given.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage, and gas work in Manahan, it is usually safer to book a NSW-licensed plumber, especially where water damage or gas safety is involved. Licensed work also matters for compliance and insurance. Fixed Today Plumbing sends fully licensed plumbers in NSW, and the issue is assessed onsite so the right repair can be quoted and completed to applicable standards.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Manahan depends on what the diagnosis confirms, how easy the work area is to access, and what parts are required. Urgency and after-hours attendance can also change the total. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed price quote before work starts once the scope is confirmed onsite.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, hot water systems, leaking taps, ruptured pipes, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. The exact approach depends on what is found onsite. After assessment, the technician explains the options and provides a fixed-price quote before any work proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most jobs in Manahan need an onsite assessment before pricing can be confirmed, because access, pipe layout, and fault cause are not always clear over the phone. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses the issue first, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden costs before we begin. If inspection reveals a larger repair, options are explained and quoted once scope is verified.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures such as toilets, taps, showers, and hot water systems. Some plumbers are also licensed for gas fitting and drainage work. In NSW, licensing matters because work must be completed safely and to applicable standards. Fixed Today Plumbing is correctly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running usually indicates a cistern component has worn or is not sealing correctly. If it is continuous or you can see water leaking, it is worth booking a licensed and insured plumbing technician because ongoing flow can waste water and may cause damage around the toilet base. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet onsite and provide a fixed-price quote once the fault is confirmed.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed promptly because water can travel behind tiles and into wall or floor cavities before it becomes visible. If the leak is active or causing damage, arrange an inspection so the source can be confirmed and repaired. Fixed Today Plumbing assesses shower leaks onsite, explains the likely cause, and provides a fixed-fee quote before repair work starts.
Do you service the entire Manahan area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Manahan 2200 as part of the South Western Sydney region, and covers all Sydney metropolitan regions. The business also has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. If you are unsure whether your exact address is covered under the no call-out fee policy, confirm it when booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using inspection and clearing methods suited to the pipework. High-definition CCTV drain cameras are used to locate and identify the blockage, and high-pressure water jetting is used to clear debris where suitable. If the camera shows damaged pipework, repair options such as structural repair or drain relining are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Manahan, Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from local dispatch points across Sydney. Arrival timing depends on current bookings and traffic, but ETA updates are provided where possible. For non-urgent issues, same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
