Plumbing FAQ's in Nelson
These Nelson plumbing FAQs explain what happens during an emergency callout, how fixed pricing works, and what can change the scope once a technician arrives. Fixed Today Plumbing is available 24/7 for emergencies, and same day service is available for standard enquiries, depending on bookings and access. If you still have a question after reading, the phone team can confirm urgency and organise the right correctly licensed technician.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
For plumbing and gas work in Nelson, a licensed plumbing specialist is the safest option when there is a leak, a blockage, or anything involving gas. The risk is not just making it worse, it is also water damage, hygiene issues, or non-compliant work. Fixed Today Plumbing attends with licensed technicians, and the scope is verified onsite before you receive fixed upfront pricing.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing costs in Nelson depend on what is actually found onsite, because access, parts required, and how far the fault has progressed can change the scope. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a flat-rate quote once the problem is diagnosed. For after-hours emergencies, confirm the booking details when you call.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides domestic and commercial plumbing across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water work, leaking taps, roof and gutter leaks, and licensed gas fitting. In Nelson, the right technician is scheduled after the issue is described, then the exact scope is agreed onsite. If inspection shows extra work is needed, options are explained and quoted before anything additional proceeds.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing attends in person for accurate quoting in Nelson, because plumbing faults need an onsite diagnosis to confirm the real cause and the access required. After the assessment, you receive fixed, upfront pricing and the Fixed Price Guarantee applies (the price quoted is the price paid). Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you can decide with clear information.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain, and repair water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. In Nelson, that commonly includes stopping leaks, clearing blocked drains, repairing toilets and taps, and completing hot water and gas work where licensed. Fixed Today Plumbing technicians explain what they are doing before starting, then verify the outcome before leaving so the system is working as expected.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs a plumber when the internal valve is not sealing, because the water can run continuously and waste a lot over time. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the cistern and pan in Nelson, confirm whether it is a simple internal repair or a broader issue, then provide fixed upfront pricing before work starts. If a blockage is involved, the drain line may also need checking.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower in Nelson should be assessed when the leak is ongoing, spreading, or affecting adjacent rooms, because water can damage floors and wall linings. Fixed Today Plumbing checks whether the leak is from plumbing connections, the waste line, or fixtures, then confirms the scope onsite and provides a fixed-price quote before repairs begin. If access is restricted, the options are explained clearly first.
Do you service the entire Nelson area?
Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Nelson, and can organise emergency attendance from local dispatch points across Sydney. Coverage on the day depends on current bookings, traffic conditions, and access at the property, so an ETA is confirmed when you book and updated where possible. If your site has strata rules or limited parking, mention it early so scheduling is smoother.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Nelson using equipment such as CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure jetters, so the blockage can be located and removed without guesswork. This covers common internal and external blockages in accessible lines. If inspection shows the pipe is damaged, options such as structural repair or no-dig relining are explained and quoted once the scope is clarified.
How fast can you come?
For Nelson emergencies, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from Sydney dispatch points. Arrival time still depends on current jobs, traffic, and safe access to the property, so an ETA is provided when booking and updated where possible. For non-urgent work, service the same day is available for standard enquiries where scheduling allows.
