Plumbing FAQ's in Manahan
These FAQs explain how emergency plumbing bookings work in Manahan, what affects timing and cost, and what you can expect from a licensed service technician onsite. If your situation involves an ongoing leak, sewage overflow, or any suspected gas issue, call and we will confirm urgency and arrange immediate dispatch where required.
To make booking smoother, it helps to share a few basics up front:
- The address and best access point (front door, side gate, unit entry)
- What is happening now, such as leaking, no hot water, or a drain backing up
- Any access limits, including strata rules, parking constraints, or tenant-only time windows
- Whether the problem is getting worse or has stabilised
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies, hiring a licensed plumbing specialist is the safer choice because water, sewage, and gas faults can escalate quickly and can involve compliance requirements. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW technicians to assess the situation onsite and make it safe. If the issue is an ongoing leak, overflow, or suspected gas, book an urgent attendance rather than attempting a repair.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access, required parts, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. 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 cause and repair method are confirmed. The Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water service repairs and installations, burst pipe repairs, leak detection, gutter and roof leaks, water filter installations, backflow prevention, and licensed gas fitting. If onsite assessment shows the work needs a different approach, options are explained and quoted once scope is agreed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite visit is used to confirm the cause, access, and exact scope before pricing is finalised. Providing accurate pricing over the phone is often risky for emergency plumbing because the visible symptom is not always the source. Fixed Today Plumbing completes an assessment, then provides a fixed-price quote before starting work so you can make a clear decision.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixing leaks, clearing drains, repairing toilets, restoring hot water, and carrying out compliant gas fitting where licensed. In emergency situations, the first job is usually to make the site safe and stop damage, then confirm the permanent repair approach before proceeding.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet usually means a worn internal valve or a problem with the cistern components, and it can waste a surprising amount of water. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet, confirm the cause, and complete a repair with a fixed-price quote provided before work starts. If the toilet is overflowing or backing up, stop using it and book urgently.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from the head, the tap set, or waterproofing-related seepage, and the right fix depends on where the water is travelling. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the shower, explain what is causing the leak, and quote the repair once scope is verified. If water is spreading into nearby rooms or ceilings, treat it as urgent and book an emergency plumber.
Do you service the entire Manahan area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services the entire 2200 postcode and the wider South Western Sydney district. The business has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, subject to availability and existing commitments. If your site has access limits, share them when booking so the right technician and vehicle can be allocated.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and also handles CCTV inspections, sewer repairs, and structural pipe repair where required. Blockage removal is typically confirmed by inspection and flow testing, not guesswork. If inspection shows the line is damaged rather than just blocked, options such as repair or no-dig relining are explained and quoted once scope is clarified.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Manahan, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. An ETA is provided when booking and updated where possible, but arrival timing depends on current jobs and traffic conditions. Same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
