Plumbing FAQ's in Minchinbury
Hiring a plumber, especially during an emergency, can feel uncertain. These answers cover what Minchinbury residents commonly ask about process, timing, and pricing. If your question is not listed, call and we will clarify what is involved for your specific property before a booking is made.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in Minchinbury, hiring a licensed professional is the safer option because faults can cause water damage, hygiene risks, or gas safety issues. Fixed Today Plumbing is properly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting, and all attending technicians are NSW-licensed plumbers. If the job needs regulated work, the correct testing and documentation can be provided.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on scope, access, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing, priced by the job, not by the hour, and a fixed-price quote is provided before work starts once the scope is confirmed onsite. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you can decide based on a clear figure.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing delivers general domestic and commercial plumbing services across Minchinbury and Sydney, including blocked drains, leak location and broken pipe repairs, hot water service system installations and repairs, roof and gutter leaks, toilet repairs, and licensed gas fitting. The attending technician confirms what is required onsite first, then provides a fixed-fee quote before any work starts.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, jobs in Minchinbury are assessed onsite before a fixed price is confirmed, because accurate quoting depends on access, pipework layout, and what has actually failed. After the inspection, Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, upfront pricing with no hidden fees before starting work. If the inspection shows a larger issue than expected, options are explained and re-quoted before proceeding.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and related fixtures in homes and businesses. In practice that can include stopping leaks, clearing drains, repairing toilets, installing hot water systems, and completing drainage repairs. Gas work must be done by a fully licensed gas fitter. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A continuously running toilet usually needs a professional repair because the cause can be inside the cistern or at the inlet, and it can waste a lot of water quickly. If water is overflowing or leaking onto the floor, stop using the toilet and arrange a plumber to prevent damage. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet onsite and provide a fixed-price quote before repair.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower should be assessed early because water can track into wall linings and floors before you notice visible damage. The right fix depends on whether the leak is from the fitting, the pipework, or the waterproofing area, so it needs an onsite check. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the source first, then provides a fixed-price quote before proceeding with the repair.
Do you service the entire Minchinbury area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Minchinbury 2770 and all Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergencies, the team uses localised dispatch points across Sydney to ensure rapid arrival, and urgent jobs are sent out first. If your property has access limits such as strata rules or tenant windows, mention it when booking so attendance can be planned properly.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains, sewer blockages, and related drainage issues in Minchinbury. The usual approach is to locate the blockage with CCTV inspection where needed, clear it using high-pressure jetting when suitable, then confirm flow is restored. If the camera shows a damaged pipe rather than a simple blockage, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Minchinbury, Fixed Today Plumbing offers immediate dispatch, and for standard enquiries same-day service is available where bookings allow. Arrival timing depends on current jobs and traffic, so an ETA is provided when booking where possible and updates are shared if that changes. If the situation involves active leaking or a gas concern, explain that on the phone so urgency is handled correctly.
