Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in Marsfield, hiring a licensed NSW plumber is the safer option because incorrect work can create leaks, property damage, or safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed plumbers, and regulated work is completed to Australian plumbing standards. If you are unsure whether a problem is urgent, a brief phone call is enough to confirm the right next step and booking priority.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs in Marsfield depend on the confirmed scope, access to the pipework or fixture, parts required, 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. No call-out fee applies for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm this when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Marsfield, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe relining, hot water systems, leaking taps, toilet repairs, roof and gutter leaks, and gas fitting. The right solution depends on what the onsite diagnosis shows, so the plumber confirms the affected area first, then quotes upfront based on the confirmed scope.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing assesses jobs in Marsfield on site before providing a fixed-price quote, because layout, access, and the condition of existing pipework can change what is required. The plumber confirms the scope in plain English and then quotes before we start. If findings on inspection indicate extra work, the options are explained and re-quoted before anything proceeds.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water and drainage systems, and may also be licensed to do gas fitting. In practice, this includes faults like leaks, blocked drains, hot water failures, toilets that do not flush correctly, and stormwater issues. For Marsfield properties, the first step is usually an on-site inspection so the cause can be confirmed and the repair can be priced accurately.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs a repair to internal cistern components, and it can waste a significant amount of water if left unresolved. Booking a licensed and insured plumber is the practical step, because the correct fix depends on the toilet style and what has failed. If water is at risk of overflowing, limit use and arrange urgent attendance so the issue can be made safe and repaired.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be inspected because ongoing water can damage surrounding surfaces and sometimes affects rooms next to or below the bathroom. A plumber can confirm whether the leak is from a fitting, a seal, or pipework behind the wall, then quote upfront once the scope is clear. If you are seeing active water spreading, arrange an urgent booking to reduce damage risk.
Do you service the entire Marsfield area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Marsfield and all Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergencies, there is capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, and technicians are allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Availability still depends on current bookings and traffic, so the best approach is to book and request an ETA update if timing is critical.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Marsfield, including internal lines and stormwater drains, after confirming where the blockage is and what pipework is involved. The aim is to restore flow and reduce the chance of repeat issues by identifying the cause. If a camera inspection shows structural pipe damage, repair options such as structural repair or relining are explained and quoted once scope is verified.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Immediate dispatch means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from Sydney dispatch locations. Arrival timing still depends on current bookings and traffic conditions, and ETA updates are provided where possible once the job is booked.
