Plumbing FAQ's in Marrickville
Plumbing problems are easier to deal with when you know what will happen next and how pricing is handled. These Marrickville FAQs focus on emergencies, access, and what affects cost and timing. If your situation is unusual, a brief phone call is enough to book the right technician and confirm urgency.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For anything that risks flooding, sewer overflow, or gas safety, a licensed and properly insured plumber is the safest option in Marrickville. Even smaller faults can hide bigger causes, like a leak tracking inside a wall. Fixed Today Plumbing sends properly licensed plumbers in NSW, and the scope is agreed onsite before a fixed-price quote is provided.
How much does plumbing cost?
Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the price is confirmed once the problem is assessed. Cost changes based on access, the parts required, and whether the issue is limited to one fixture or involves a longer section of pipework. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing covers general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Marrickville, including blocked drains, burst pipe repairs, hot water systems, gas leak detection, and roof or gutter leaks. The right approach depends on what is found onsite, and the next step is always to confirm the scope and provide a fixed-price quote before work starts.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is used for accuracy because phone quotes often miss access issues or hidden faults. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the affected area and what needs to be done, then provides fixed clear pricing before any work starts. You can make a decision once you have the scope and the fixed price.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain, and repair water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. In an emergency, the focus is usually to make the situation safe and stop damage, then confirm the cause and complete a compliant repair. In NSW, regulated plumbing and gas work must be completed by licensed tradespeople.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal seal, a faulty inlet valve, or a problem with the flush mechanism, and it can waste a lot of water quickly. If the toilet will not stop running or you can see water leaking around the base, book a properly licensed and insured plumber to inspect and repair it properly.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower often involves more than the showerhead, because water can escape behind tiles, through penetrations, or into wall cavities. The consequence is hidden water damage and mould if it is left unresolved. A plumber can assess the source, explain the findings clearly, then quote the repair once scope is confirmed.
