Plumbing FAQ's in North Cronulla
Hiring a plumber can feel uncertain, especially when you are dealing with an urgent leak or a drain that is backing up. These are practical questions people in North Cronulla ask when they want clear expectations around pricing, timing, and what happens on the first visit. If your question is not covered below, our team can talk it through and book the right technician.
Should I try to fix plumbing problems myself in North Cronulla?
For anything involving gas, drainage overflows, or active leaks, it is safer to book a licensed, insured plumber because the risk is property damage or an unsafe installation. Some minor issues can look simple but hide a bigger fault behind walls or under floors. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the cause onsite and provides fixed, upfront pricing once the scope is clear.
How is plumbing pricing worked out?
Fixed Today Plumbing uses fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so the price is based on the confirmed scope rather than time alone. Cost usually changes with access, parts required, and whether the job is urgent after-hours. Once the issue is assessed onsite, you receive a flat-rate quote before starting work, and the Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid) applies.
What plumbing services do you cover in North Cronulla?
Fixed Today Plumbing offers general domestic and commercial plumbing, plus drainage and gas fitting in North Cronulla and across Sydney. This includes blocked drains, hot water repairs and replacement services, gas leak detection, leaking taps, toilet repairs, ruptured pipe repairs, and roof and gutter leak work. The exact solution depends on what the onsite assessment finds, and pricing is confirmed before work starts.
Do you need to come out to quote in 2230?
Yes, most jobs in the 2230 postcode are quoted after an onsite inspection, because phone descriptions rarely capture access, pipe material, or the true source of a leak or blockage. Fixed Today Plumbing confirms the problem area first, then provides a fixed-price quote with no hidden fees before we begin. If the inspection shows extra scope, options are explained and re-quoted before proceeding.
Are your technicians licensed and insured to work in North Cronulla?
Yes, all attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW, and Fixed Today Plumbing is duly licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting. The business is fully insured, with up-to-date insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation). Public Liability insurance helps protect you if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job.
What should I do if a toilet keeps running?
A always running toilet should be assessed because it can waste a lot of water and sometimes indicates a failing valve or seal. It is usually a straightforward repair once the cistern type and parts are confirmed, but the correct fix depends on the mechanism inside your unit. Fixed Today Plumbing can assess the toilet onsite and provide a fixed-price quote before completing the repair.
My shower is leaking, is it urgent?
A leaking shower should be checked promptly because ongoing moisture can damage cabinetry, flooring, and nearby walls, and it can be harder to resolve if left to spread. The urgency depends on where the water is going and whether it is constant or only during use. Fixed Today Plumbing can confirm the source onsite, explain what needs to be done, then provide fixed, upfront pricing before work starts.
Do you service the entire North Cronulla area?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing services the entire 2230 postcode as part of our Sydney metro coverage, including the Sutherland Shire. Capacity to service up to a 60km radius from base hubs for emergency calls is available across the service area. The attending technician is allocated from local dispatch points across Sydney, and arrival timing depends on current jobs and traffic conditions.
Can you clear blocked drains in North Cronulla homes and apartments?
Yes, Fixed Today Plumbing clears blocked drains in North Cronulla, including typical internal and external blockages where the line is accessible. The approach depends on what is causing the restriction, and an inspection may be required if the blockage is recurring or if there are signs of pipe damage. Once the scope is confirmed onsite, a fixed-price quote is provided before clearing work begins.
How quickly can a plumber get to North Cronulla?
Fixed Today Plumbing provides immediate dispatch for emergencies, meaning urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from our Sydney dispatch points. For non-urgent work, same-day service is available for all standard plumbing and gas enquiries. An ETA is provided when booking, and we provide ETA updates where possible, but timing can change with traffic and earlier emergency jobs.
