How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Maroota depends on what is found onsite, including access, the extent of damage, 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), and you receive a fixed-price quote before we start. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency and general plumbing services across Maroota and the Sydney metro area, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water system repairs and installations, gas leak detection and new gas connections, ruptured pipe repairs, and general plumbing maintenance. If an initial inspection shows a structural issue (for example, damaged drainage), options are explained and quoted once the scope is verified.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, most Maroota jobs are quoted after an onsite assessment because accurate pricing relies on confirmed scope, access, and the exact cause of the fault. The attending plumber diagnoses the issue, explains the options, then provides a fixed-price quote before any work begins. If you decide to proceed, the work is completed and tested, then the area is cleaned up.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. In an emergency, the immediate role is usually to make the situation safe, stop damage, and restore essential services like drainage or hot water. Some work is regulated, so using a fully licensed and comprehensively insured plumber helps ensure the work meets applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements.
How do I stop my toilet running?
If a toilet will not stop running in Maroota, it usually needs a repair to internal cistern components or the inlet valve, and it is worth booking a licensed plumbing specialist (NSW) before it becomes a bigger leak. If water is overflowing and it is safe to do so, turning off the toilet isolation tap can reduce water loss while you wait for service.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be urgent because water can travel behind tiles and into wall cavities, even when the leak looks small. The practical next step is to book a plumber to confirm whether the leak is from plumbing, drainage, or a fixture fault, then quote the repair once the cause is identified. The right fix depends on where the water is escaping.

Are you able to unblock drains?

Drain clearing typically starts with locating the restriction, then removing it using the most suitable method for the pipework.
