Plumbing FAQ's in Marsden Park
These are practical answers to common plumbing questions we hear from Marsden Park residents and local businesses. Each answer is general guidance, and the right fix still depends on what is found onsite. If you are unsure whether it is urgent, call and describe what is happening, and we can book the right technician and confirm the next step.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In plumbing, it is usually safer to book a licensed professional when water, sewage, or gas is involved. DIY work can create safety risks, cause water damage, and in some cases lead to non-compliant installation. Fixed Today Plumbing sends properly licensed plumbers in NSW, and the technician can confirm the cause onsite, then provide a fixed price quote before work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is actually required once the fault is diagnosed, including access, parts needed, and whether it is after-hours emergency work. 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 after the scope is confirmed. Ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies in Marsden Park.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water system work, leaking taps, gutter and roof leaks, burst pipe repairs, leak identification, and licensed gas fitting. The attending technician confirms what is needed onsite, then quotes the job at a fixed price before starting, so you can decide with clear information.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an site assessment is typically required to quote accurately because access and the underlying cause change the scope of work. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the affected area and checks what is required, then provides a fixed-price quote before work starts. If the inspection reveals a larger issue than first described, the options and pricing are explained before any extra work proceeds.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures such as toilets, taps, showers, and pipework. In NSW, gas fitting and many drainage tasks also require a licensed professional. Fixed Today Plumbing is correctly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and can provide regulated work to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is commonly caused by a worn inlet valve, flush valve, or seal, and it can waste a lot of water if left. It is best to have a fully licensed, insured plumber inspect it so the correct part can be confirmed and replaced properly. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet onsite, then provide a flat-rate quote once the fault is identified.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early because water can travel behind tiles and damage the wall or floor. The safest next step is booking a plumber to confirm where the leak is coming from, then quote the correct repair once the scope is clear. Fixed Today Plumbing explains the findings in plain English and confirms the quote before starting work.
Do you service the entire Marsden Park area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services the entire 2765 postcode and all Sydney metropolitan regions. The business also has capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, depending on availability. For Marsden Park, the attending technician is typically allocated from nearby dispatch points, and an ETA is provided when booking where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and completes CCTV inspections, sewer repairs, and structural pipe repair where required. The technician first confirms what is causing the blockage, then quotes the job at a fixed price before starting. If inspection shows pipe damage rather than a simple blockage, the repair options are explained and priced once the the scope is confirmed.
