Plumbing FAQ's in Minto Heights
These FAQs cover the practical questions people in Minto Heights 2566 ask before booking a plumber, including timing, pricing, and what happens on the first visit. Each answer includes a clear boundary, because the right repair depends on what an onsite assessment confirms.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
Yes, it's usually safer to hire a licensed plumbing technician in Minto Heights for repairs that involve water supply, drainage, or gas. Licensed work helps reduce the risk of property damage and safety issues, and regulated work may require correct documentation. If an inspection shows the job is minor, that's explained onsite before any work proceeds.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the affected area, the 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), so you receive a fixed price quote before work starts. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides general domestic and commercial plumbing services in Minto Heights, including blocked drains, hot water systems, leaking taps, toilets, gutter and roof leaks, broken pipes, leak detection, and licensed gas fitting. The exact approach depends on what the onsite assessment shows, and options are explained before the fixed-price quote is confirmed.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing normally quotes after an onsite assessment in Minto Heights, because accurate pricing depends on access, the cause of the fault, and what parts are required. You receive a fixed-price quote before we start, with no hidden costs. There is no call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), so confirm call-out details when booking.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair and maintain water, drainage and, where licensed, gas systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixtures like taps, toilets, showers and hot water units, plus pipework and drains. In regulated situations, work needs to meet safety requirements and applicable Australian Standards, and testing is completed before the job is closed.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn valve or seal inside the cistern, and it can waste a lot of water over time. If the toilet won't settle or you notice leaking around the base, book a NSW-licensed and insured plumber so the fault can be confirmed and repaired safely. Once diagnosed, you'll receive a fixed-price quote before work begins.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A shower leak should be inspected because the visible water is not always coming from the part you can see. Ongoing leaks can lead to hidden water damage behind tiles or inside walls. Book a plumber to confirm whether the issue is plumbing-related, then you'll receive a fixed-price quote once the scope is clear and access is confirmed.
Do you service the entire Minto Heights area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services Minto Heights and all Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergency calls, there is capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs, depending on current bookings and availability. The nearest available technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney, and ETA updates are provided where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Minto Heights using CCTV drain cameras to locate the restriction and high-pressure water jetting to remove debris where suitable. If the inspection shows the pipe is damaged rather than simply blocked, options like structural pipe repair or no-dig drain relining are explained and quoted once scope is confirmed onsite.
