Plumbing FAQs in Neutral Bay
Plumbing problems are easier to manage when you know what will happen next. Fixed Today Plumbing answers common Neutral Bay questions below, including how quoting works, what affects cost, and what to expect for emergency attendance. If your situation is urgent, you do not need to diagnose it, a call is enough to book the right technician and confirm an ETA where possible.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In NSW, plumbing, drainage and gas fitting work should be completed by a duly licensed NSW plumber, especially where pipework is altered or safety is involved. DIY attempts can create water damage, cause repeat failures, or complicate compliance and warranty outcomes. If you are unsure, booking an assessment is the safest way to confirm the cause and get a fixed-fee quote before starting work.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on the scope, access, parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing, so you receive a price for the job once the issue is assessed and the scope is verified. The Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles general domestic and commercial plumbing, including blocked drains, leak detection, hot water systems, toilet repairs, gas fitting, roof and gutter leaks, water filters, and backflow prevention. The attending technician confirms what is affected onsite, explains the cause, and provides a fixed-price quote before starting, so you can make a clear decision based on the confirmed scope.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing typically confirms pricing after an onsite inspection, because access, pipe materials, and the exact fault location can change the scope of work. You are given a flat-rate quote before any work starts. No call-out fee for many service areas (check specific suburb pages), and it is worth confirming the call-out fee status for Neutral Bay when booking.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, maintain, and repair water, drainage, and gas systems so fixtures work safely and wastewater is removed correctly. That includes locating faults, replacing failed components, clearing blockages, and testing the system after the repair. For regulated work such as gas fitting, the work must be completed by a licensed professional and verified before the system is used again.
How do I fix a running toilet?
A running toilet is usually caused by a worn inlet valve, outlet seal, or an internal adjustment issue that prevents the cistern from sealing properly. Because the problem can also involve hidden leaks or drainage behaviour, the safest approach is to book a NSW-correctly licensed plumber to confirm the fault and repair it. Once diagnosed, Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed, transparent pricing before proceeding.
How do I solve a leaking shower?
A leaking shower can come from failed waterproofing, grout breakdown, a damaged seal, or pipework behind the wall, and the correct fix depends on what is actually leaking. A professional assessment can confirm whether it is a plumbing leak or a surface water issue. Fixed Today Plumbing can conduct leak detection where needed and will explain the findings and quote the repair once the scope is established.
Do you service the entire Neutral Bay area?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing services all Sydney metropolitan regions, including Neutral Bay 2089 and the wider North Shore. For emergencies, jobs are dispatched immediately, and for standard enquiries same-day service is available. Arrival timing can still vary with traffic and building access, so it helps to mention any parking limits, lift access, or strata instructions when booking.
Are you able to unblock drains?
Yes. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains and can also complete structural pipe repair where a blockage is caused by damaged pipework. CCTV drain cameras are used to confirm the blockage location and pipe condition, and high-pressure water jetting is used where appropriate to restore flow. If inspection shows the line needs repair, options such as pipe relining are explained and quoted once confirmed.
How fast can you come?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies and service the same day available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. An ETA is provided and updated where possible, but it depends on current bookings, road conditions, and how quickly access can be provided at the property. When you call, describing the urgency helps allocate the nearest available licensed field technician.
