Should I hire a professional or do it myself?

For anything involving sewer overflow, active leaks, or gas, it is safer to book a licensed, insured plumber because the risk is property damage or a safety issue. Fixed Today Plumbing sends licensed NSW plumbers to Newington and confirms the scope onsite before quoting. If the issue is minor, you can decide after receiving the fixed-price quote.

How much does plumbing cost?

Plumbing cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the affected area, 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), and the Fixed Price Guarantee means the price quoted is the price paid. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, and you can ask us to confirm call-out fee status for Newington when booking.

What type of plumbing can be done?

Fixed Today Plumbing handles general domestic and commercial plumbing, including blocked drains, ruptured pipe repairs, leak detection, hot water work, and licensed gas fitting. The right solution depends on what the on-site inspection finds, because similar symptoms can have different causes. Once the the scope is confirmed, a fixed-price quote is provided before any work starts.

Do you come to our house to quote?

Yes, quotes are provided after an onsite assessment at your Newington property because accurate pricing needs the fault and access confirmed in person. The assessment may involve visual checks and diagnostic tools such as CCTV inspection equipment or leak detection equipment, depending on the problem. You receive a fixed price quote before work starts, and the quote is valid for one month from the date issued.

What do Plumbers do?

Plumbers install, repair, and maintain water, drainage, and gas systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixtures like toilets and taps, pipework that supplies water, and drainage that carries wastewater away safely. In emergencies, the priority is to make the situation safe, stop damage, and then complete a repair that can be tested before leaving.

How do I stop my toilet running?

A running toilet usually needs the cistern components inspected and repaired or replaced, because the cause is often worn internal parts. If you are worried about overflow and the toilet isolation valve is clearly identifiable, you can turn it off, then book a licensed plumber to fix it properly. Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed upfront pricing after confirming the fault onsite.

The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?

If a shower is leaking, it is best to stop using it and schedule an assessment because ongoing water can damage wall cavities, flooring, or ceilings below. The repair approach depends on whether the leak is from a visible fitting or hidden behind the wall. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the source onsite, then provides a fixed-price quote before proceeding.

Are you able to unblock drains?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains, including sewer and stormwater lines, using CCTV check and clearing methods such as high-pressure water jetting where appropriate. The next step depends on what the camera shows, because some blockages are simple obstructions while others involve damaged pipework.
