Plumbing FAQ's in Minchinbury
Plumbing problems are easier to handle when you know what will happen next. These FAQs explain how bookings, pricing, and common faults are handled in Minchinbury, including emergencies. If your question is not covered, the phone line is open 24/7 for urgent issues and bookings.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing, drainage, and gas work in Minchinbury, using a licensed plumbing professional is the safest option and is often required for compliant work. DIY repairs can create water damage, make the fault harder to trace, or create a safety risk with gas. Fixed Today Plumbing backs workmanship with a Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship for the work we complete.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, not just the symptom. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), and provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work starts. Price usually changes with access, parts required, and whether the booking is after-hours. Confirm call-out details when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting across Minchinbury and Sydney. Common work includes blocked drains, sewer repairs, pipe relining, hot water unit repairs and installations, leak detection, burst pipe repairs, toilets, taps, roof and gutter leaks, water filters, and backflow prevention. If the issue is unusual, the first visit confirms what is involved before quoting.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in Minchinbury are typically quoted after an onsite assessment, because access, pipe condition, and the fault location affect the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing completes a diagnosis first, then provides a fixed-price quote before any work starts. No hidden costs; quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you have time to decide.
What do Plumbers do?
A plumber installs, repairs, and maintains water, drainage, and related fixtures in a home or business. That includes pipes, toilets, taps, hot water systems, and stormwater and sewer lines. In NSW, gas fitting must be completed by a licensed and insured gas fitter. For Minchinbury properties, the job often includes confirming where the fault is located before any repair is priced.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A constantly running toilet usually needs a proper internal repair, because the leak is often inside the cistern rather than at the pan. Ongoing running can waste a lot of water and can sometimes cause overflowing if parts fail further. If water is actively flowing and you can safely isolate it, do so, then book a licensed, insured plumber to confirm the cause and fix it.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower in Minchinbury is usually linked to worn tap components, a failed shower head connection, or a leak behind the wall that only shows up at the base. Even a small leak can damage grout, cabinetry, or the wall lining over time. Arrange an onsite assessment so the source is confirmed and a fixed-price quote can be provided before repairs start.
Do you service the entire Minchinbury area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Minchinbury 2770. Emergency calls can be supported within our capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls, and standard jobs are often available same-day depending on bookings. The closest available properly licensed technician is allocated from local dispatch points across Sydney.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and investigates the cause using high-definition drain inspection cameras and high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting). This is suitable for many common Minchinbury blockages, including build-up and root intrusion, when the line is accessible. If the camera shows structural pipe damage, repair options such as structural pipe repair or relining are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed onsite.
How fast can you come?
For Minchinbury emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch for emergencies, meaning urgent jobs are allocated first and the nearest available technician is sent from Sydney dispatch points. An exact arrival time depends on current bookings and traffic conditions. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, so you know what to expect before the technician arrives.
