Plumbing FAQs in Newport
These FAQs cover what Newport locals commonly ask before booking a plumber, especially when the situation feels urgent. Each answer explains what is usually involved and what affects price and timing. If your question is not covered, a short call is enough to confirm urgency, organise an onsite assessment, and provide a fixed-price quote once the scope is confirmed onsite.
Should I hire a professional or do it myself?
In Newport, it is usually safer to book a licensed, insured plumber, especially for leaks, blocked drains, hot water or any gas work. Plumbing work can affect safety, water damage risk, and compliance requirements. Fixed Today Plumbing uses onsite diagnosis and fixed transparent pricing, so you can decide once the scope is established and a fixed-price quote is provided.
How much does plumbing cost?
Plumbing cost depends on what is faulty, how easy it is to access, whether parts are needed, and whether the job is after-hours or urgent. 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. Confirm call-out fee status when booking.
What type of plumbing can be done?
Fixed Today Plumbing handles general plumbing, blocked drains, hot water systems, leak identification, gutter and roof leaks, toilet repairs, and licensed gas fitting across Newport and the wider Sydney metro. The exact work on the day depends on what inspection finds and what access is available. A fixed-price quote is provided once the scope is confirmed onsite.
Do you come to our house to quote?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing can attend properties in Newport 2106 to assess the issue and quote onsite. Phone pricing is often unreliable because access, existing pipework and the cause of the problem change the scope. After diagnosis, a fixed-price quote is provided before any work starts, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
What do Plumbers do?
Plumbers install, repair and maintain water, drainage and related plumbing systems in homes and businesses. That includes fixtures like taps, toilets and showers, plus pipework, hot water systems and drainage. In NSW, gas fitting must be done by a licensed gas fitter. Fixed Today Plumbing is properly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting.
How do I stop my toilet running?
A running toilet usually needs an onsite repair to the cistern components or a seal, because the problem is often inside the tank or at the flush valve. If the toilet is overflowing, will not stop filling, or you are worried about water damage, organise urgent attendance. Fixed Today Plumbing can diagnose the cause and provide a fixed-price quote before repair work proceeds.
The shower is leaking, how do I stop it?
A leaking shower needs an onsite inspection to confirm whether the leak is from the tapware, the shower head, a connection in the wall, or associated pipework. Leaks can cause hidden damage because water travels behind tiles and into cabinetry. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the source in Newport, explain the scope clearly, then quote a fixed price before completing repairs.
