Plumbing FAQ's in Marayong
These FAQs explain how emergency plumbing in Marayong usually works, what affects the cost, and what you can expect on the first visit. Answers are general because every property is different, especially across a mix of older homes and newer townhouses in the 2148 area. If your situation is urgent, a phone call is the quickest way to confirm whether it needs immediate dispatch.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, for most plumbing faults it is safer to hire a licensed and insured plumbing technician (NSW), especially for drainage and all gas work. Unlicensed work can create leaks, water damage, or safety risks, and it can also cause compliance problems later. Fixed Today Plumbing sends NSW-licensed plumbers, and the technician can explain the cause and options after assessing the issue onsite.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the fault, parts required, and whether the job is urgent 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. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out details when booking for Marayong.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing, including blocked drains, burst and leaking pipes, water heater work, toilet repairs, roof and gutter leak repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The attending technician will confirm what is required for your property after an onsite assessment, then quote the work before any repairs or installation begins.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an site assessment is usually needed to quote accurately because access, pipe materials, and the exact fault location change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses first, then provides a fixed-price quote before starting work. No hidden costs; quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you have time to decide once the issue is confirmed.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures such as toilets, taps, showers, and hot water systems. Licensed plumbers also complete regulated work that must meet safety requirements and applicable Australian Standards. In an emergency, the practical goal is to stop damage, restore safe function, and verify the result before leaving.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by worn cistern parts that stop the fill valve or flush valve sealing properly. It often keeps getting worse and can waste a lot of water, so booking a repair is usually the simplest way to stop it. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the exact cause onsite and provide a fixed-price quote before replacing the required parts.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can come from a worn shower head, a failing mixer or taps, or water escaping past seals and travelling behind tiles. Because the visible drip is not always the full story, an onsite inspection is the safest way to confirm the leak source. Fixed Today Plumbing explains what is leaking and why, then provides fixed, upfront pricing before repair work starts.
Do you service the entire Marayong area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Marayong 2148 and all Sydney metro regions. The business also has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls. For rentals and strata properties in the Blacktown City Council area, access details can be coordinated with tenants, agents, or building management when disclosed at booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using drain inspection cameras to locate the restriction and high-pressure jetting to remove it where suitable. This approach helps avoid guesswork and reduces the chance of repeated blockages from the same cause. If inspection shows damaged pipework rather than a simple obstruction, the repair options are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Marayong, Fixed Today Plumbing delivers immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from localised Sydney dispatch points. An ETA is provided when booking and updated where possible, but timing can change with traffic and earlier emergency jobs. Same-day service is available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries.
