Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing in McMahons Point, a licensed professional is the safest option when there is a leak, a blockage backing up, or any gas concern. Plumbing, drainage, and gas work can involve compliance requirements and hidden damage. Fixed Today Plumbing sends properly licensed plumbers in NSW, and the job is assessed onsite so the scope can be confirmed and quoted before work starts.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope, access, parts required, and whether the work 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 after diagnosis and before work begins. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and when booking you can confirm whether a call-out fee applies in McMahons Point. There is also $55 off for customers mentioning "web55" (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing covers domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including McMahons Point. Common work includes blocked drains and sewer repairs, water heater repairs or replacement, burst pipe repairs and leak detection, licensed gas fitting and gas leak detection, plus general repairs like taps, toilets, and showers. The exact inclusions are confirmed during the onsite assessment before the fixed-price quote is issued.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend your McMahons Point property to assess the issue and then provide a fixed price quote before we begin. An onsite assessment is important because access, pipe layout, and the affected area can change the scope and the solution. Once the diagnosis is complete, the quote is explained in plain English so you can decide based on confirmed information.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain, and repair water, drainage, and in many cases gas systems, depending on licensing. In practice, that means diagnosing leaks, clearing drains, repairing fixtures, replacing failed components, and testing the system before leaving. For regulated work, documentation may be required. Fixed Today Plumbing sends properly licensed plumbers in NSW and completes work to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal valve or seal, and it can waste significant water over time. A plumber can confirm the exact cistern type, identify which part has failed, and repair or replace it so it stops refilling. Fixed Today Plumbing offers a fixed price quote after inspection, and if the issue is linked to a drainage restriction, that is explained before the scope changes.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be a surface issue or it can be leaking into walls or floors, which is why an onsite assessment is important. Continued leaking can lead to water damage and mould, even when the leak looks minor. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the shower area, confirm the likely source, and provide a fixed-price quote once scope and access are clear. If access is restricted by strata rules, timing is coordinated when booking.

Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using diagnostic tools to confirm what is restricting flow, then removes the blockage using the appropriate method for the pipework. drain inspection cameras help locate the issue, and high-pressure jetting is commonly used to clear debris and buildup. If the inspection shows a damaged section of pipe, repair options such as structural pipe repair or no-dig pipe relining are explained and quoted once scope is verified.
