Plumbing FAQ's in Milsons Point
Plumbing problems are hard to price and plan for until the cause is confirmed. The answers below cover what Milsons Point locals commonly ask, including urgency, pricing, access in apartments, and what happens when you book. If you want to check whether your situation needs emergency attendance, a short call can confirm the right next action and we can provide an ETA update where possible.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergencies and any work involving water supply, drainage, or gas, a licensed plumbing technician is the safer option because mistakes can cause damage or create safety risks. Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW. The best approach is to book an site assessment so the scope can be confirmed and quoted upfront.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access, 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), and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid. If you are in Milsons Point, ask about call-out fee status when booking because No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages).
What type of plumbing can be done?

This includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, drain relining, CCTV inspections, hot water installation and repairs, gas fitting and gas leak detection, and general plumbing like toilets, taps, and burst pipes. The right approach depends on what is found onsite, and a fixed-price quote is provided once the scope is clarified.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, an onsite assessment is used to confirm the cause and scope before pricing, because phone-only descriptions can miss important details like access, the location of the fault, and what parts are required. After assessment, Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) with no hidden costs. Quotes are good for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related systems in homes and businesses. In practical terms, that can include fixing leaks, restoring hot water service, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets, and completing gas work when the technician is licensed for gas fitting. The safest path is an onsite assessment so the fault is confirmed and the repair can be quoted before work starts.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A toilet that keeps running is commonly linked to worn internal parts, which can waste a lot of water over time. It is best assessed by a fully licensed plumbing technician, because the repair depends on the cistern type and what has failed. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the toilet in Milsons Point, explain the cause in plain English, and provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is confirmed onsite.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be checked early because water can damage the wall, floor, and waterproofing before the problem looks serious. The right fix depends on whether the leak is from the plumbing, the fittings, or related building elements, and that can only be confirmed onsite. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the leak in Milsons Point and provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is clear.
