Looking for a Specific Type of Plumber in Sydney?

Fixed Today Plumbing operates across Sydney's CBD and inner precincts with immediate dispatch capability for emergency and standard plumbing work. We service residential apartments, commercial tenancies, strata buildings, and heritage properties from localised hubs in West Sydney and surrounding dispatch points, ensuring technicians reach central Sydney jobs within typical metro response windows. This covers urgent repairs where water or gas safety is at risk, plus scheduled installations and maintenance where timing matters less than getting the scope and price confirmed upfront.

Sydney CBD presents a mix of building types not found elsewhere in the metropolitan area. The Rocks contains sandstone terrace homes and heritage conversions where original drainage and supply lines date from the late 1800s. Around Circular Quay and into the CBD core, modern high-rise apartments and office towers have pressurised water systems, centralised hot water plants, and strata-managed infrastructure. This variety means the approach changes property by property?old terracotta drains behave differently from PVC risers in a 30-storey residential tower.

Access logistics affect every job in central Sydney. Parking restrictions, loading zone windows, and basement entry protocols require coordination before the technician arrives. For strata properties, we work around building manager requirements, visitor parking allocation, and common-property access rules. Where street parking isn't available, we confirm the process when booking so arrival timing and vehicle positioning don't delay the start of work.

Our NSW licensed plumbers (Licence 305428C) are properly insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation, and we explain what that coverage means in plain terms: if accidental property damage occurs during work, Public Liability applies; Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries on the job. That insurance status is maintained across all attending technicians, not just the business entity.

Plumbing services we handle in Sydney include:

  • Blocked drain unblocking using high-pressure jetting and CCTV camera diagnostics
  • Burst pipe isolation and repair, including emergency shut-off and temporary make-safe
  • Hot water system diagnosis, replacement, and compliance for electric, gas, and heat pump units
  • Gas leak detection, appliance connection, and pressure testing to AS/NZS 5601.1
  • Leaking tap and fixture repair, including cartridge replacement and seal renewal
  • Toilet and cistern repairs, including flush mechanism and fill valve faults
  • Sewer line assessment and trenchless drain relining where excavation isn't feasible
  • Leak detection using electronic ultrasonic equipment for concealed pipe failures
  • Stormwater drain unblocking and downpipe blockage removal
  • Bathroom fixture installation and waterproofing compliance for renovations

We're available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency plumbing callouts. Urgent jobs?where there's active water damage, gas odour, or loss of essential services?are sent out first, and the nearest available technician is allocated from our dispatch network. For non-urgent work, we provide a fixed-price quote after confirming the scope onsite, so you can decide whether to proceed once the job detail and cost are clear.

Fixed Today Plumbing is a family-owned business with over 15 years of operation across Sydney's metro regions. We've built that longevity through repeat work and direct referrals, reflected in 800+ verified customer reviews holding a near-perfect 5-star rating. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship backs every repair and installation we complete?if a fault relates to our work, we return and fix it at no additional cost.

Pricing follows a fixed-quote model: the price is set by the job, not by the hour, and the quote provided before work starts is the price you pay. There are no surprise charges added at the end, and the quote remains valid for one month from the date issued. For properties in many Sydney service areas, there's no call-out fee?confirm the call-out status for your specific location when booking.

Every attending plumber carries a current NSW plumbing licence and can identify themselves on arrival. We follow entry instructions carefully, use protective floor coverings where needed, and clean up the work area before leaving. For security-sensitive sites or properties with premium finishes, we confirm access protocol and scope detail before touching visible fixtures.

Call us today at 1800 349 338 or book online to arrange an assessment. Whether you're dealing with an urgent issue or planning scheduled work, we'll explain what's involved and provide a clear fixed price before proceeding.

Professional Plumbing Services in Sydney

We handle plumbing repairs, installations, and emergency callouts across Sydney CBD and inner metro areas, dispatching licensed technicians from nearby hubs to minimise travel time. Every plumber attending your property holds a current NSW licence and is covered by our Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. That insurance coverage means you're protected if accidental damage occurs during the work, and it confirms the business meets professional standards for workplace safety.

Jobs range from burst pipe isolation in a CBD apartment to scheduled hot water service replacements in heritage terraces near The Rocks. The building type changes the approach?high-rise strata work requires coordination with building managers and access to riser cupboards, while older terrace properties often involve replacing corroded galvanised steel pipes or clearing root-affected clay drains. We assess onsite, confirm what's involved, and provide a fixed-price quote before starting.

As a Sydney plumbing company operating locally for over 15 years, we're familiar with the infrastructure constraints common to central Sydney properties: limited ceiling access in converted warehouses, shared hot water supply systems in older apartment blocks, and Sydney Water compliance requirements for any work affecting the sewer main. Our team has completed thousands of jobs across the metro area, building practical experience with the plumbing faults typical to each building era.

For urgent situations?active leaks, gas odour, or complete loss of water supply?we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing dispatch. Urgent jobs are prioritised and sent out immediately, with the nearest available technician allocated to reduce wait times. An ETA is provided when you book, and we update you if traffic or the previous job affects arrival timing.

We provide clear scope confirmation and upfront pricing for non-urgent work. The technician assesses the fault, explains what's needed, and provides a fixed quote before any work begins. That quote is priced by the job, not by the hour, so the price you're quoted is the price you pay?no hidden costs added at completion. If diagnostics reveal additional issues, we explain the options and provide a revised quote before proceeding.

Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers all workmanship. If a fault traces back to our work, we return and fix it at no additional cost. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to parts and appliances, and we provide documentation where compliance certification is required under Sydney Water or NSW Fair Trading regulations.

Every technician arrives in uniform, confirms identity on arrival, and follows entry instructions carefully. We use protective floor coverings in occupied homes, isolate the work area where practical, and clean up before leaving. For strata and commercial properties, we can follow site induction requirements and provide job documentation suitable for maintenance logs.

Contact us today at 1800 349 338 or book an appointment online to arrange an onsite assessment. We'll explain the process, confirm the scope, and provide a fixed quote before starting work.

Fixed Upfront Pricing

We provide a flat-rate quote after assessing the job onsite, and that price doesn't change once work starts. You'll know the cost before we begin, with no hidden fees added at the end.

Verified Customer Reviews

Our near-perfect 5-star rating across 800+ verified reviews reflects consistent work quality and honest communication. We've built our reputation through repeat customers and direct referrals over 15+ years.

Immediate Emergency Dispatch

Urgent jobs are sent out first, with the nearest available technician allocated from our Sydney dispatch network. We provide an ETA when you book and update you if timing changes.

Licensed & Insured Team

Every attending plumber holds a current NSW licence (305428C) and is covered by our Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance, protecting you and your property during the work.

Our Comprehensive Plumbing Services

We cover the full range of commercial and domestic plumbing work across Sydney, from emergency repairs where safety is at risk to scheduled installations and routine maintenance. The process starts with onsite assessment?confirming the problem area, identifying the fault, and explaining what's involved?followed by a fixed-price quote and completion once you decide to proceed. That approach applies whether you're dealing with a blocked drain in a Pyrmont apartment or a hot water failure in a Darlinghurst terrace.

Our team uses high-definition drain inspection cameras for blockage diagnostics, high-pressure water jetting to clear obstructions without damaging pipework, and electronic ultrasonic leak detection to locate concealed pipe failures. For hot water and gas work, we handle compliance documentation required under Australian Standards and Sydney Water regulations, ensuring installations meet safety and warranty requirements.

Emergency Plumbing Services

When a pipe bursts, a drain backs up into living areas, or you detect a gas odour, the priority is making it safe and stopping further damage. Fixed Today Plumbing dispatches 24/7 for plumbing emergencies, sending the nearest available properly licensed technician to assess the situation and provide an immediate solution. Urgent jobs are prioritised over scheduled work, and an ETA is provided when you book.

Emergency callouts typically involve:

  • Isolating broken pipes and repairing the failed section to restore water supply
  • Clearing blocked drains that are causing sewage backup or water overflow
  • Gas leak detection, isolation, and pressure testing to confirm the system is safe
  • Hot water system faults where the unit has failed completely or is leaking
  • Toilet and cistern failures causing continuous water flow or internal flooding

The first visit focuses on making the situation safe and assessing what's required for a permanent fix. If temporary repairs are needed to stop immediate damage, we explain what's been done and what full resolution involves. For jobs requiring parts or extended work, we provide a fixed quote and timeframe once scope is confirmed.

Blocked Drains and Stormwater Drains

Drainage blockages in Sydney CBD properties often trace to fat and grease buildup in kitchen lines, foreign objects lodged in toilet bends, or tree root intrusion in older terracotta sewer pipes. High-rise apartments can experience blockages in shared stacks where multiple units drain to a common line, and heritage buildings near The Rocks sometimes have original clay drains that have deteriorated or collapsed over time.

We start by locating the restriction using a high-definition CCTV drain camera, which allows us to see exactly what's causing the blockage and whether structural damage is present. That CCTV inspection is recorded, and footage is provided where strata or building managers require documentation. Once the blockage type and location are confirmed, we clear it using high-pressure water jetting, which removes grease, roots, and debris without damaging the pipe walls.

For blockages caused by pipe collapse or severe root intrusion, clearing alone won't prevent recurrence. In those cases, we explain the options?excavation and replacement, or trenchless pipe relining where access permits?and provide a fixed quote for the permanent fix once you've decided how to proceed.

Stormwater drain blockages are treated separately from sewer lines. These blockages typically involve leaf litter, silt buildup, or collapsed pits, and clearing them restores surface drainage to prevent water pooling during heavy rain. We confirm which system is affected during the initial assessment.

Hot Water System Services

Hot water failures in Sydney properties typically present as no hot water at the tap, rust-coloured water indicating tank corrosion, or visible leaks from the relief valve or tank base. Older electric storage systems often fail due to element burnout or sacrificial anode depletion, while continuous flow gas units can develop ignition faults or scale buildup in the heat exchanger.

We assess the unit onsite?checking for error codes, testing the thermostat and heating elements, and inspecting for leaks or corrosion. If the unit can be repaired, we explain what's involved and provide a fixed quote. If replacement is more practical, we recommend a suitable system based on household size, fuel type availability, and space constraints, then provide a quote covering removal, installation, and compliance certification.

Our hot water service services include electric storage tanks, continuous flow gas units, heat pump systems, and solar-boosted installations. All installations meet Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3500) and include mandatory Tempering Valves to prevent scalding and Pressure Relief Valves to protect against tank over-pressurisation. Compliance documentation is provided where required by Sydney Water or strata regulations.

For high-rise apartments with centralised hot water plants, we coordinate with building managers to schedule work during low-demand periods and confirm whether the issue affects individual units or the shared system.

Gas Fitting Services

Gas work in Sydney requires a duly licensed gas fitter and compliance with AS/NZS 5601.1, the Australian Standard governing gas installations. That standard mandates pressure testing after any repair or alteration to confirm the system is gas-tight, and a compliance certificate must be issued to verify the work meets safety requirements.

Common gas fitting jobs in Sydney CBD properties include connecting new cooktops or ovens, relocating gas points during kitchen renovations, and detecting leaks in ageing copper or steel pipework. The distinctive "rotten egg" odour added to natural gas signals a leak, and any gas smell requires immediate attention?isolate the gas meter if accessible, ventilate the area, and arrange an assessment without using electrical switches or open flames.

We use combustible gas detectors and thermal imaging to locate leaks concealed behind walls or under floors, then isolate the affected section and repair or replace the faulty pipe. After completion, the system undergoes a pressure loss test to confirm no leaks remain, and a compliance certificate is issued.

For new appliance installations, we confirm the existing gas supply capacity is adequate, install the connection point to code, and test the appliance to ensure correct ignition and flame characteristics. All work is documented and complies with NSW Fair Trading gas fitting regulations.

Bathroom Renovations and Plumbing

Bathroom renovation work in Sydney often involves replacing outdated fixtures, relocating pipe positions to suit new layouts, and ensuring waterproofing compliance under AS/NZS 3740. Older apartments and terraces sometimes have concealed pipe damage or inadequate fall in waste lines that only becomes apparent once tiles and fixtures are removed.

We handle the plumbing component of bathroom renovations?installing new tapware, replacing shower mixers, relocating toilets and vanities, and connecting drainage to suit the updated layout. All fixture installations include water supply isolation points for future servicing, and waste connections are tested to confirm correct fall and seal integrity.

Waterproofing must meet current standards before tiling proceeds, and we coordinate with waterproofers and tilers to ensure the sequence is correct. For strata properties, we confirm whether building manager approval is required before starting work that affects common property plumbing or requires water shut-off to multiple units.

If the renovation exposes corroded pipes or inadequate supply pressure, we explain what's required to bring the system up to standard and provide a quote for that additional work separately from the planned fixture installations.

Leak Detection and Repair

Concealed leaks?where water escapes inside walls, under floors, or within ceiling cavities?often present as unexplained water meter movement, damp patches on plasterboard, or water staining without an obvious source. In high-rise buildings, leaks in upper-level apartments can travel down through wall cavities and appear several floors below the actual failure point.

We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection equipment to locate the leak without invasive opening of walls or ceilings. This equipment detects the sound frequency of water escaping under pressure, allowing us to pinpoint the failure location and minimise the area that needs opening for repair access. For slab leaks or underground pipe failures, we may use thermal imaging or tracer gas to confirm the exact position before excavation.

Once the leak is located, we assess whether the pipe can be repaired or needs replacement. Pinhole leaks in copper pipes can sometimes be repaired with compression fittings, but if corrosion is widespread, replacing the affected section prevents recurrence. We provide a fixed quote once the scope is agreed and explain what opening and reinstatement work is required.

After repair, we test water pressure and flow to confirm the leak is resolved and monitor the meter to verify no further water loss. For strata properties, we provide documentation of the leak location and repair for building records.

Commercial Plumbing Services

Commercial properties in Sydney CBD?office buildings, retail tenancies, restaurants, and industrial facilities?require plumbing work that minimises disruption to business operations. We schedule around trading hours where possible, coordinate with building managers for access to plant rooms and service risers, and provide job documentation suitable for compliance logs and strata records.

Typical commercial plumbing work includes blocked grease trap maintenance in food service premises, backflow prevention device testing to Sydney Water requirements, hot water plant servicing for multi-tenancy buildings, and emergency repairs where a plumbing fault affects trading capability.

For restaurants and cafés, grease trap blockages are a common issue. Regular maintenance involves pumping out accumulated fats and checking the trap's condition to ensure it's functioning correctly. If the trap is undersized or incorrectly installed, we explain what's required to meet Sydney Water trade waste approval conditions.

Backflow prevention devices must be tested annually under Sydney Water regulations. We perform onsite testing, provide compliance certification, and arrange repairs or replacements if the device fails the test. That certification is lodged with Sydney Water and provided to the property owner for their records.

Emergency commercial callouts are prioritised based on the impact to operations. If a burst pipe or drain blockage is preventing trading, we dispatch immediately and focus on temporary make-safe measures to allow the business to reopen while permanent repairs are scheduled.

Our near-perfect 5-star rating across 800+ verified reviews reflects that reliability, and a large portion of our work comes from repeat customers and direct referrals.

We're a family-owned business, not a franchise network. Every plumber dispatched to your property is employed by Fixed Today, holds a current NSW licence, and is covered by our Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. That employment structure means we control training, standards, and accountability directly.

Experienced and Licensed Team

Every technician attending your property holds a current NSW plumbing licence (our business licence is 305428C) and has undergone police and background checks. They arrive in uniform, can identify themselves on arrival, and follow entry instructions carefully to respect your property and privacy.

Our team's combined experience covers the full range of Sydney building types?from heritage sandstone cottages in The Rocks to modern high-rise apartments in Barangaroo. That experience base means we can anticipate common issues with each property era and explain what's likely involved before opening walls or lifting floors.

We use professional-grade equipment: high-definition drain inspection cameras, high-pressure water jetters, electronic leak detection gear, and fully stocked mobile workshops with premium parts. That equipment investment allows us to diagnose accurately and complete most jobs on the first visit, provided access and parts availability permit.

Rapid Response Times

We dispatch from localised hubs across Sydney?including West Sydney, Dolans Bay, and Ruse?to reduce travel time to central metro jobs. For emergency callouts, the nearest available technician is allocated immediately, and an ETA is provided when you book. If traffic or the previous job affects timing, we update you before the arrival window changes.

That dispatch model works because we maintain a multi-van fleet and stagger job schedules to keep capacity available for urgent work. Emergency plumbers are sent out first, ahead of scheduled maintenance jobs, and carry the tools and parts needed to handle common urgent faults without returning to base for supplies.

For non-urgent work, we schedule around your availability and confirm the appointment window in advance. If access timing is constrained?loading zone windows, building manager requirements, or strata booking rules?we coordinate accordingly.

Upfront and Transparent Pricing

We provide a fixed-price quote after assessing the job onsite. The technician explains what's involved, confirms inclusions and exclusions, and provides a price before any work starts. That quote is priced by the job, not by the hour, so the final cost matches the quote provided?no hidden fees added at completion.

For properties in many Sydney service areas, there's no call-out fee. Confirm the call-out status for your specific location when booking. If diagnostics reveal additional issues not visible during the initial assessment, we explain the options and provide a revised quote before proceeding with any extra work.

All quotes remain valid for one month from the date issued, giving you time to decide whether to proceed. For insurance claims or strata approval processes, we can provide detailed scope documentation and photos to support your submission.

Customer-Centric Approach

We explain the fault and the proposed solution in plain English, without assuming you understand plumbing terminology. If multiple options exist?repair versus replacement, temporary versus permanent fix?we outline the trade-offs and let you decide based on cost, timeframe, and long-term outcome.

For occupied homes, we use protective floor coverings, isolate the work area where practical, and clean up before leaving. We don't wear outdoor boots inside unless the job requires it, and we confirm access permissions before entering private areas like bedrooms or home offices.

Our team is trained to communicate clearly and answer questions without making you feel rushed. If you're unsure about the recommendation, we'll explain the reasoning and provide time to consider before committing.

Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee

Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers all workmanship we complete. If a fault relates to our work?incorrect installation, improper sealing, or faulty joint?we return and fix it at no additional cost. That warranty applies to the labour component only; manufacturer warranties cover parts and appliances separately.

This guarantee is backed by our business continuity. We've operated for over 15 years, and our family-owned structure means we're not dependent on external franchise agreements or third-party warranty schemes. If you experience an issue years after the original work, we're still here to address it.

We document every job?photos, scope detail, and materials used?so if a warranty claim arises, we have a record of what was done and can assess whether the fault is workmanship-related or due to external factors like ground movement or water quality.

Plumbing FAQ's in Sydney

Plumbing faults in central Sydney properties?whether it's a blocked drain in a CBD apartment or a hot water failure in a heritage terrace?raise practical questions about cost, timing, and process. The answers below address the most common concerns based on our experience across Sydney's varied building types and infrastructure constraints.

Is there a call-out fee for plumbing in Sydney CBD?

For many properties in the Sydney service area, there's no call-out fee. Confirm the call-out status for your specific location when booking. The assessment and quote are provided onsite, and if you proceed with the work, the quote includes all labour, materials, and travel. If you decide not to proceed after the assessment, the call-out fee (where applicable) covers the technician's time and travel.

How quickly can you reach Sydney CBD for an emergency?

We dispatch from localised hubs across Sydney, including West Sydney and surrounding points, with the nearest available technician allocated for urgent jobs. An ETA is provided when you book, typically within standard metro response windows. Traffic conditions?particularly around peak commuter periods or major events?can affect timing, and we update you if the arrival window changes.

What affects the cost of plumbing work in Sydney?

The cost depends on the scope of work, access constraints, parts required, and time on site. A drain blockage in an easily accessible inspection point costs less than clearing a restriction deep within a shared strata stack. Hot water replacements vary by system type, capacity, and whether existing pipework needs upgrading. We provide a fixed quote after assessing the job onsite, so you know the cost before work begins.

Can you work in strata buildings and high-rise apartments?

We regularly work in strata and high-rise properties across Sydney CBD. This often involves coordinating with building managers for access to plant rooms, riser cupboards, or common property areas. We follow site induction requirements where needed and provide job documentation suitable for strata records. If work affects shared systems or requires water shut-off to multiple units, we confirm the process with the building manager before starting.

What's involved in clearing a blocked drain in Sydney?

We start with a CCTV camera inspection to locate the blockage and identify the cause?grease buildup, tree roots, foreign objects, or pipe damage. Once located, we clear the obstruction using high-pressure water jetting, which removes debris without damaging the pipe. If the camera reveals structural issues like collapsed sections or severe root intrusion, we explain the permanent repair options and provide a quote for that additional work.

Do I need to be home for the plumber to attend?

Someone with access authority needs to be present to grant entry, explain the fault, and approve the quoted work. For rental properties, that's usually the tenant. For strata buildings, we can sometimes coordinate access through the building manager if you've arranged it in advance. If you can't be present, confirm the access arrangement when booking.

What should I do if I smell gas in my Sydney property?

If you detect the distinctive "rotten egg" odour of gas, isolate the gas meter if it's accessible, ventilate the area by opening windows, and avoid using electrical switches or open flames. Then arrange an immediate assessment. We dispatch for gas emergencies with priority over scheduled work. The technician will locate the leak, isolate the affected section, and test the system to confirm it's safe before leaving.

Can heritage buildings in The Rocks be plumbed to modern standards?

Heritage properties often have original terracotta or cast iron drains, galvanised steel supply pipes, and limited ceiling or wall cavity access. Modern plumbing can be retrofitted, but the approach depends on heritage overlay restrictions and structural limitations. We assess what's feasible onsite, coordinate with Sydney Water for compliance where required, and explain the constraints before quoting.

How long does a water heater replacement take?

A straightforward electric or gas storage replacement typically takes 2?4 hours once the unit is onsite and old unit removal is straightforward. Continuous flow gas units or heat pump systems can take longer due to gas line modifications or electrical compliance requirements. If existing pipework needs upgrading or the installation location changes, we explain the additional timeframe and provide a revised schedule.

What's covered by your Lifetime Labour Warranty?

The warranty covers all workmanship we complete?installation quality, joint integrity, and sealing. If a fault traces back to our work, we return and fix it at no additional cost. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to parts and appliances, and those terms vary by brand and product type. We provide documentation for both at the time of installation.
