Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Newtown?

Fixed Today Plumbing delivers emergency plumbing in Newtown (Inner West Council), with a 24/7 emergency service and immediate dispatch for urgent situations. We run local dispatch points across Sydney, including hubs in West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse, so the nearest available properly licensed technician can be allocated. In Newtowns tighter streets and mix of terraces and apartment blocks, access and parking can affect setup and arrival timing, so we confirm the best access point when booking.

Emergency plumbing is handled using a consistent onsite process because the scope is what drives both timing and cost. A common situation we encounter in Newtown is water showing up where it should not, such as moisture tracking under floors or through shared walls. Once onsite, the plumber diagnoses the fault using the appropriate tools (such as drain inspection cameras or electronic ultrasonic leak detection), then provides fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) before we begin. If inspection shows additional damage, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite.

  1. Diagnosis: detailed onsite assessment using specialised diagnostic tools.
  2. Upfront Quote: a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before work begins.
  3. Completion: installation or repair completed to Australian plumbing standards.
  4. Verification: testing of the system and site cleanup before the plumber leaves.

Newtown properties can include older plumbing layouts alongside newer renovations, so the first visit focuses on confirming the affected area and what is within reach without unnecessary disruption. Fixed Today Plumbing handles urgent faults and also provides the broader plumbing services listed on our site, including emergency repairs and routine work. If youre comparing options, these pages outline related services: emergency plumbing, toilet repairs, sewer unblocking, and innovative pipe relining.

Price questions are normal in an emergency. Fixed Today Plumbing backs every job with a Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid), and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you can make a clear decision once the scope is confirmed on site onsite. Call-out fees vary by area, and there is no call-out fee for many service areas, so its worth confirming the current call-out status for Newtown when you book. For urgent help, call 1800 349 338, and if you mention "web55" there is $55 off (limited to 1 per person/paying jobs).

Emergency Leaking Taps

A leaking tap at a Newtown property is treated as an emergency when it will not stop, is causing visible damage, or is likely to leak into cupboards, floors, or neighbouring walls. This covers common tap, pipe, and fixture leaks that are accessible; if the leak is inside a wall or under a slab, the plumber confirms location and access before quoting any further work.

What typically happens is a drip becomes a bigger problem once pressure changes or a fitting finally gives way. On first inspection, well confirm where the water is coming from and whether its local to the tap or coming from pipework behind it. Fixed Today Plumbing can use leak detection methods such as electronic ultrasonic equipment to locate hidden bursts, then provide a fixed-price quote once the repair approach is clear.

Because Newtown includes plenty of attached homes and apartments, small leaks can travel and show up in unexpected places. Thats why the visit also includes checking the surrounding area for signs of water spread, and verifying the repair before leaving.

Fixed upfront pricing you can approve before work starts

Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, clear pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). After the plumber confirms the scope onsite, you receive a fixed price quote before work begins, backed by a Fixed Price Guarantee. If conditions on site change whats required, options are explained and re-quoted once the new scope is verified.

Reviews and long-term local service history

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned and operated plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region. The business has a near-perfect 5-star rating based on 800+ verified customer reviews, which helps you check real experiences from commercial and domestic customers before booking.

Emergency availability with clear arrival updates

Fixed Today Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency assistance for commercial and domestic clients, with immediate dispatch for emergencies and same-day service available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. Urgent jobs are sent out first, and ETA updates are provided where possible, noting that traffic and Newtowns parking constraints can affect the final arrival time.

Licensed, insured, and identifiable technicians

Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C). The business is fully insured, with up-to-date insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability helps if accidental property damage occurs during the job, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries while work is being carried out. Technicians arrive in uniform, can confirm identity before entry, and police checks and background checks are completed for technicians.

Water Heater Emergencies

A hot water emergency in Newtown usually means no hot water, a leaking hot water unit, or a system that is making the property unsafe to occupy comfortably. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the unit onsite and explain the repair or replacement options once the cause is confirmed. This covers common gas and electric hot water problems; if the unit is not safely serviceable, the next step is quoted before any replacement work proceeds.

A pattern we notice is that storage systems often give warning signs before a full failure, such as fluctuating temperature or discoloured water. In practice, the priority is to identify whether the problem is with the unit itself, a valve, or the supply feeding it, because the fix and parts required are different. Fixed Today Plumbing installs and services hot water systems for major brands including Rheem, Dux, and Rinnai.

Costs vary based on access, the type of system, and parts availability. For clarity, the plumber confirms the scope onsite, then provides fixed upfront pricing before starting work, including any after-hours urgency considerations when relevant.

Overflowing Toilet Nightmares

An overflowing toilet in Newtown needs prompt attention because wastewater can damage floors and create hygiene risks. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend to locate the cause and restore normal function, whether it is a local toilet fault or a drainage restriction. This covers typical internal toilet problems and accessible blockages; if investigation suggests a broader sewer issue, the options are explained and quoted once the affected line is confirmed.

From the work we see, the usual sequence is that a toilet overflow is either caused by a blockage downstream or a cistern mechanism that will not shut off properly. In apartment blocks and strata properties around Newtown, responsibility can depend on whether the fault is within the lot or in common pipework, so we document what we find and can provide invoices suitable for landlords, agents, and maintenance records.

Following our standard on-site inspection, you will receive fixed clear pricing before repairs proceed. Where access is controlled by strata rules or booking windows, we can work around those constraints if they are disclosed when you book.

Blocked Kitchen Drains Resolved

Blocked kitchen drains in Newtown are often caused by grease and food debris narrowing the pipe, which leads to slow draining, odours, and sometimes a sudden overflow. Fixed Today Plumbing clears kitchen blockages by confirming the restriction and removing it using a method suited to the pipework. This covers most accessible kitchen drain lines; if CCTV inspection shows a damaged section of pipe, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is established.

What often happens is chemical drain cleaners appear to work for a short time but do not remove the buildup from the pipe walls. Fixed Today Plumbing can use high-definition CCTV drain cameras to confirm the blockage type and location, then clear the line using high-pressure water jetting where appropriate. After clearing, we verify flow and explain what caused the blockage so you know what was actually fixed.

Pricing depends on access, how far the blockage is from the entry point, and whether there is structural damage. You get a fixed-price quote before work starts, so you can approve the job with the scope in front of you.

Emergency Plumbing Services

Emergency plumbing services in Newtown cover urgent situations where water, drainage, or gas problems are likely to cause damage or safety risk if left unattended. Fixed Today Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency services for domestic and commercial clients, with immediate dispatch for emergencies, then a fixed-price quote once the issue is assessed onsite. This includes most urgent repairs in accessible areas; if extra access work is required, the scope is confirmed on site and quoted before proceeding.

Active leaks are stressful. The priority is getting a licensed plumbing technician onsite to make it safe and stop damage.

  • broken pipes and urgent water leaks
  • blocked drains with overflow or backflow
  • no hot water where the system has failed or is leaking
  • gas leaks and urgent gas safety concerns
  • toilets and fixtures that will not stop running or overflowing

Once the booking is confirmed, we provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible. In Newtown, a practical factor is that the closest parking spot is not always near the affected fixture, so we may ask about access points and any stair or basement entry when organising the visit.

If youre unsure whether your situation is urgent, a quick call is enough to explain whats happening and book the right technician. You do not need to diagnose it before calling.

Urgent Hot Water System Repairs

Urgent hot water unit repairs in Newtown focus on restoring safe, consistent hot water when a unit is underperforming, losing pressure, or showing signs of failure. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend same-day for standard enquiries and advise whether repair is suitable once the unit is inspected. This covers typical faults in accessible systems; if inspection shows the unit has failed, replacement options are clearly quoted before any work starts.

On first inspection, we confirm the unit type, check visible valves and connections, and assess whether the issue is localised or part of a broader plumbing problem. A common scenario is a system that still heats but delivers inconsistent temperature at the tap, which can point to a control or tempering issue rather than the heater itself.

Costs depend on the system type, access, and parts required. Fixed Today Plumbing provides fixed upfront pricing once the scope is verified, and payment can be made by major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard).

Sewer and Stormwater Blockages

Sewer and stormwater blockages in Newtown matter because they can cause backflow, foul odours, and overflow into bathrooms, courtyards, or basements. Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains by locating the restriction and removing it with the least disruptive approach for the pipework. This covers typical accessible blockages; if camera inspection shows a broken or collapsed section, repair options such as structural pipe repair are explained and quoted once scope is defined.

In plumbing, oils and fats can cool and stick to pipe walls, and over time they narrow the line until it cannot cope with normal flow. Fixed Today Plumbing uses CCTV technology to identify what is happening inside the pipe, then clears it using high-pressure water jetting where appropriate. After the line is cleared, we verify flow and check that the blockage has not immediately returned, which can indicate a structural problem.

For Newtown properties with limited access points, we may need to confirm the best inspection opening or boundary trap location first. That access check is part of the onsite assessment before quoting.

Burst Pipe Remediation

Burst pipe repairs in Newtown are urgent because uncontrolled water can damage timber, plaster, and electrical areas quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing attends to make the situation safe, locate the burst, and complete the repair once the pipework and access are confirmed. This covers common burst and leaking pipework in reachable areas; if inspection shows the pipe is deteriorated along a longer run, options are explained and quoted before further work proceeds.

If water is pouring out, turning off the water at the main can reduce damage while help is on the way.

From our experience across Sydney, burst pipes often follow corrosion, failed joints, or impact damage in tight service spaces. Fixed Today Plumbing can use electronic ultrasonic leak detection for hidden bursts, and where suitable, long-term repair options may include drain relining to avoid unnecessary excavation. After repairs, we test the system and tidy the work area before leaving.

Gas Leak Solutions

A suspected gas leak in Newtown needs urgent, licensed attention because gas faults can create fire risk and unsafe indoor air. Fixed Today Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting for leak detection and repair, then verifies the system is safe before it is put back into use. This covers common appliance and pipework leaks; if inspection shows the problem is within an appliance, the plumber explains the options and confirms scope before any additional work proceeds.

Its vital to handle gas lines and installations safely, and gas work in NSW must be completed by a duly licensed gas fitter. Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting (NSW Licensed Plumber, Drainer & Gasfitter - 305428C), and the business is fully insured with comprehensive Public Liability and Workers Compensation. Public Liability helps if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.

After the fault is identified, youll receive a flat-rate quote before repair work starts, and we can provide compliance documentation for regulated work where required. If you need urgent attendance, call 1800 349 338 and well provide arrival updates where possible.

Plumbing FAQ's in Newtown

Emergency plumbing decisions are usually made quickly, and the main questions are about cost, timing, and safety. These FAQs cover how emergency callouts work in Newtown, what affects pricing, and what to expect onsite. If your situation is urgent, the quickest path is to describe whats happening on the phone, then let a licensed and comprehensively insured plumber confirm the scope and provide a fixed-price quote before work begins.

Should I hire a professional or do it myself?

For safety and compliance, a licensed and comprehensively insured plumber (NSW) is the right choice for emergencies and anything involving gas, drainage, or hidden leaks. DIY attempts often make the damage worse because the cause has not been confirmed. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the issue onsite in Newtown, explain what is required in plain English, then provide fixed upfront pricing before any work starts.

How much does plumbing cost?

Plumbing cost depends on what is actually required once the issue is inspected onsite, including access, parts, and whether the job is after-hours. Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you receive a fixed price quote after the scope is confirmed onsite. Call-out fees vary by area, so confirm the current call-out status for Newtown when booking.

What type of plumbing can be done?

Fixed Today Plumbing provides emergency and general plumbing in Newtown and across Sydney, including blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water installations and repairs, leaking taps and burst pipes, and licensed gas fitting. The exact approach depends on access and what inspection shows. Once diagnosed, the plumber explains the options and provides a fixed-price quote before we start.

Do you come to our house to quote?

Yes, jobs in Newtown are assessed onsite so the plumber can confirm the cause, access, and scope before quoting. Phone descriptions help with booking the right technician, but accurate pricing requires a visual inspection for most emergencies. Fixed Today Plumbing provides a fixed price quote with no hidden fees before work begins, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.

What do Plumbers do?

A plumber installs, repairs, and tests water, drainage, and related systems so they operate safely and reliably. In an emergency, the first priority is to stop damage and make the system safe, then confirm what failed and why. Fixed Today Plumbing follows a diagnose-then-quote approach, and attending technicians are duly licensed plumbers in NSW.

How do I fix a running toilet?

A running toilet is usually caused by a worn internal seal or a fill mechanism that will not shut off properly, and it can waste water continuously. If it keeps running or there is any sign of overflow risk, it is worth booking a plumber. Fixed Today Plumbing can inspect the cistern, confirm the cause, and provide fixed upfront pricing before completing the repair.

How do I solve a leaking shower?

A leaking shower often involves more than the visible fittings because water can travel behind tiles and into wall cavities. The practical step is to arrange an inspection so the leak source and access needs are confirmed before repairs start. Fixed Today Plumbing can attend in Newtown, use suitable leak detection methods when required, then quote the repair once the scope is clear.

Do you service the entire Newtown area?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services the Newtown area and the wider Sydney metropolitan regions. For emergencies, urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from localised dispatch points across Sydney. Arrival timing depends on current bookings, traffic, and access constraints in Newtown, and ETA updates are provided where possible.

Are you able to unblock drains?

Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in Newtown, including kitchen, bathroom, sewer, and stormwater lines where access allows. The plumber typically confirms the blockage location using camera inspection equipment, then clears it using high-pressure water jetting where appropriate. If inspection shows structural damage, repair options are explained and quoted once the scope is agreed.

How fast can you come?

For emergencies in Newtown, Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch, meaning urgent jobs are allocated first to the nearest available technician. An ETA is provided when booking, and updates are shared where possible. Arrival timing can change due to traffic conditions and the practical reality of parking and access in the Inner West, so clear access details help speed things up.
