Plumbing FAQ's in Minto
Plumbing problems are hard to judge from the outside, and emergencies add time pressure. The questions below cover what Minto locals commonly ask about emergency service calls, pricing, and what happens when the plumber arrives. If your situation is not listed, you can still call, we will confirm urgency and book the right technician based on what you tell us.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For emergency plumbing in Minto, a correctly licensed NSW plumber is the safer option because water, gas, and drainage faults can cause property damage quickly if handled incorrectly. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed technicians in NSW and completes work to applicable Australian Standards and safety requirements. Once we assess the issue onsite, you get a fixed-fee quote before any work begins.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope found onsite, access to the affected area, parts required, and whether the job is urgent after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a clear quote before we start. Ask when booking whether a call-out fee applies in Minto.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles emergency and general plumbing across Sydney, including blocked drains, burst pipe repairs, leak detection, water heater installation or repair, and licensed gas fitting. The right solution depends on what the onsite diagnosis shows. If inspection reveals a bigger fault than expected, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is established.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, we attend the property in Minto to diagnose the issue and then provide a fixed-price quote before work starts. Phone quotes are often inaccurate because access, pipe layout, and the fault location change the scope. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, which gives you time to decide once you have clear pricing.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems so your property stays safe and functional. Depending on the job, that can include:
- Installing and repairing pipework
- Toilet and tap repairs
- Hot water system work
- Sewer and drainage repairs
- Licensed gas fitting and leak identification
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet in Minto is usually caused by a faulty internal valve or seal, and it can waste a lot of water over time. If the toilet is also overflowing or the water level will not settle, stop using it and arrange a plumber to attend. If it is safe and accessible, you can isolate water to the toilet to limit overflow risk while waiting.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower can be urgent when water is getting into walls, floors, or the ceiling below, because moisture damage can spread quietly. The next step is an onsite assessment so the leak source can be confirmed and priced properly. Fixed Today Plumbing delivers a fixed-price quote before starting repairs, and we use protective covers and clean up afterwards.
Do you service the entire Minto area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Minto 2566 and the wider South West Sydney area. For emergencies, we have capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs. Attendance still depends on current bookings and traffic, but emergency jobs are dispatched immediately and ETA updates are provided where possible.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains using CCTV check equipment to identify the cause and high-pressure water jetting to restore flow where suitable. This approach is used for many common household blockages in Minto. If the camera inspection shows broken or collapsed pipework, we explain repair options, which can include no-dig pipe relining where appropriate.
How fast can you come?
For emergencies in Minto, Fixed Today Plumbing delivers immediate dispatch, which means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available properly licensed technician is allocated from our local Sydney dispatch points. Arrival timing depends on the time of day, traffic, and existing emergency bookings. We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.
