Plumbing FAQ's in Marsfield
These Marsfield plumbing FAQs explain what usually happens during an emergency booking, what affects the price, and how fast help can arrive. If you are unsure how urgent your issue is, a short call is enough for us to confirm what needs attention first and arrange the right licensed service technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Hiring a licensed and insured plumber is the safest option for most Marsfield plumbing problems, especially if there is water damage risk, sewage, or gas involved. DIY repairs can miss the real cause and can lead to repeat leaks or compliance issues later. If the situation is urgent, the priority is an onsite assessment so the fault can be confirmed and fixed safely.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost in Marsfield depends on the scope of work, access to the affected area, the 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 work starts. Ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies in Marsfield.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency and general plumbing across Marsfield and Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, burst pipes, leak detection, hot water systems, and licensed gas fitting. The right solution depends on what is found onsite, so the scope is confirmed onsite during the assessment before a fixed-price quote is provided. Work is completed by licensed NSW technicians.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment in Marsfield is usually required before an accurate quote can be given, because the cause, access, and parts needed cannot always be confirmed by phone. After the issue is inspected, Fixed Today Plumbing provides a flat-rate quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you have time to decide once the scope is clear.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related plumbing systems so fixtures work safely and reliably. In emergencies, the focus is stopping damage and making the situation safe, then fixing the underlying cause. In Marsfield, this can include drain unblocking, ruptured pipe repairs, hot water repairs, or gas safety work. The correct approach is confirmed onsite before work begins.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a worn cistern seal or a faulty inlet valve, and it can waste a lot of water quickly. The practical next step is to book a plumber to inspect and replace the failed internal parts. If the toilet will not stop running or threatens to overflow, treat it as urgent so the cause can be confirmed and fixed promptly.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower often indicates a worn seal, failed mixer component, or a leak in connected pipework, and leaving it can lead to hidden water damage. The safest next action is an inspection by a fully licensed plumbing technician, because the visible drip is not always the main leak point. Once the cause is confirmed onsite, a fixed-price quote is provided before repairs proceed.
Do you service the entire Marsfield area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Marsfield and all Sydney metropolitan regions, including the 2122 postcode. For emergencies, we use localised dispatch points across Sydney and allocate the nearest available properly licensed technician. Arrival timing depends on current jobs and access conditions, so provide any parking, strata, or entry details when booking to help the visit run smoothly.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Marsfield using diagnostic and clearing equipment such as CCTV check equipment and high-pressure jetting. This is suitable for many common external and internal blocked drain issues in accessible lines. If inspection shows structural pipe damage, we explain the repair options and provide an updated fixed price quote once the scope is confirmed on site.
