Plumber Tamarama

Fixed Today Plumbing handles commercial and residential plumbing across Tamarama, including drain blockages, hot water service repairs, tap leaks, and gas appliance installations. Our scope covers typical plumbing problems in accessible locations; if onsite inspection reveals structural damage or concealed pipework issues, we explain the options and confirm scope before proceeding with additional work. We quote upfront with fixed pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour), so you know the cost before we start and can decide once scope is finalised.

We operate as a family-owned business across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, with over 15 years of practical experience resolving plumbing faults in varied property types. Our multi-van fleet carries diagnostic equipment including high-definition CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetters, meaning we can assess and clear most blockages without returning for parts. All attending technicians are licensed plumbers in NSW, and we're properly insured with Public Liability and Workers Compensation coverage.

In practice, Tamarama properties present a mix of renovated interiors and older external pipework. We see frequent callouts for tap washers, toilet cistern faults, and hot water temperature fluctuations, particularly in units where original copper pipes are still in service. Our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship means if the repair fails due to our work, we return and fix it at no additional cost.

We provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible, and our technicians arrive in uniform with police and background checks completed. Before starting, we confirm what's included in the quoted scope, explain the process in plain English, and protect floors with drop sheets where needed. After completing the work, we test function and verify the repair before leaving, then provide documentation suitable for property managers or strata records if required.

A blocked drain typically presents as slow drainage, gurgling sounds, or water backing up through lower fixtures. The blockage is usually caused by accumulated debris (soap scum, hair, food waste) in kitchen and bathroom lines, or tree root intrusion in external sewer pipes. We locate the restriction using high-definition CCTV drain cameras, then clear it with high-pressure water jetting (hydro-jetting at 3,000-5,000 PSI) to restore flow and scour buildup from pipe walls. If camera inspection shows structural pipe damage or root intrusion requiring excavation or relining, we explain the options and provide a fixed quote before additional work proceeds.

Our emergency plumbing service is available 24/7 for severe blockages causing flooding or sewage backup. In practice, we see frequent blockages in Tamarama properties where older terracotta or clay pipes haven't been replaced, and tree roots from street plantings seek moisture through microscopic cracks. Kitchen lines often accumulate fat, oil, and grease (FOG), which solidifies as it cools and traps solid waste.

After clearing the blockage, we run the camera through again to verify flow is restored and document the pipe condition. If the line is clear and structurally sound, that's the end of the job. If root intrusion or pipe deterioration is visible, we provide footage and discuss long-term solutions including trenchless pipe relining, which creates a seamless pipe-within-a-pipe without excavation.

Roof and gutter plumbing protects your property from water damage by channelling stormwater away from the structure. We inspect gutters, downpipes, and roof flashings to identify blockages, leaks, or deterioration, then clear debris and repair or replace damaged sections to restore proper drainage. This covers typical gutter maintenance and minor leak repairs in accessible areas; if the roof structure itself is damaged or full gutter replacement is needed, we explain the scope and provide a fixed quote before proceeding.

Sydney's storm season puts pressure on roofing systems, and blocked gutters can cause water to overflow and enter the property through ceiling spaces or external walls. In coastal areas like Tamarama, salt air accelerates corrosion of metal gutters and flashings, particularly on older Colorbond or galvanised steel installations. From many jobs like this, we've found that leaf litter and sand buildup in valley gutters is a common issue in suburbs with mature street trees.

During the inspection, we check that downpipes are clear and flowing freely, and verify that gutter fall (slope) is adequate to prevent standing water. If roof penetrations like vent pipes or skylights are leaking, we re-seal or replace the flashing to make them watertight. All work is carried out by licensed plumbers, and we take care on tiled or metal roofs to avoid damaging the roofing material.

A malfunctioning toilet creates hygiene concerns and risks water damage if left unattended. Common faults include a constantly running cistern (caused by a faulty inlet valve or deteriorated flapper), weak flush (often due to blocked rim jets or a failing flush valve), or a complete blockage preventing drainage. We assess the problem onsite, confirm the repair scope and fixed price, then replace the faulty cistern components or clear the blockage to restore normal function. If the toilet bowl is cracked or the waste outlet is damaged, we provide a replacement quote and confirm scope before proceeding.

Our toilet repair service includes diagnosing cistern faults, clearing blocked pans, replacing inlet and flush valves, and addressing water leaks at the base of the toilet. In Tamarama properties, we commonly see dual-flush cisterns where the push-button mechanism has worn or the flush valve seal has perished, causing the cistern to continuously refill and waste water.

We carry common cistern parts (inlet valves, flush valves, and flappers) in our fully stocked vans, so most repairs are completed on the first visit without needing to return for parts. After replacing the faulty component, we test the flush cycle multiple times to verify the cistern fills and stops correctly, and check the floor around the toilet base for signs of leaking that might indicate a failing pan collar seal.

Active pipe leaks require urgent attention to prevent water damage and minimise repair costs. A burst pipe is usually caused by corrosion in older metal pipes, pressure surges, or impact damage to exposed pipework. We isolate the water supply to stop the leak, assess the extent of the damage using electronic ultrasonic leak detection equipment where needed, then repair or replace the affected section to restore water supply and make the system watertight. This covers accessible pipe repairs; if concealed pipes behind walls or under slabs are involved, we explain the access requirements and confirm scope before proceeding.

Our leaking pipe service includes ruptured pipe emergency response, hidden leak detection, and copper or PVC pipe repairs or replacements. In practice, we see pipe failures in Tamarama properties where original galvanised steel or copper pipes have corroded internally, particularly in hot water lines where scale buildup accelerates deterioration.

We respond 24/7 to active leaks and can isolate the affected section to restore water to the rest of the property while the repair is completed. After repairing or replacing the damaged pipe, we pressure-test the system to verify it's watertight and check surrounding pipes for signs of imminent failure, particularly where pipework is the same age and material.

Fixed Today Plumbing handles a comprehensive range of commercial and domestic plumbing work across Tamarama, including tap and toilet repairs, pipe leak fixes, water heater servicing, gas appliance installations, and drainage maintenance.

We assess the problem onsite, confirm what's included in the scope, provide a fixed-fee quote before work starts, complete the repair or installation, then test and verify function before leaving. Our technicians arrive in uniform with police and background checks completed, and we follow entry instructions carefully in strata or security-sensitive properties.

Services we commonly provide include bathroom and shower leak repairs, tap replacements and cartridge repairs, hot water service diagnostics and component replacement, toilet cistern repairs and pan replacements, gas appliance connections with compliance certification, roof and gutter inspections and repairs, and backflow prevention device installations where required by Sydney Water.
