Plumber in Wollstonecraft

Fixed Today Plumbing handles residential and commercial plumbing work across Wollstonecraft, from emergency service calls to planned installations. We use a fixed-price model: the price is quoted by the job, not by the hour, so you know the cost before work starts. This covers labour, materials, and verification testing; if the initial inspection reveals additional scope (such as structural pipe damage or unexpected access issues), options are explained and a revised quote is provided before proceeding. No hidden fees are added at the end.

All work is completed by NSW-licensed plumbers and backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. That warranty means we stand behind the quality of the repair or installation for as long as you own the property. Manufacturer warranties apply separately to hardware such as hot water supply tanks, tapware, or appliances. We test outcomes before leaving, flow rates after clearing a drain, leak-free joins after pipe repair, temperature and pressure after hot water work, so you can see the result is verified.

Our team includes licensed master plumbers and specialised technicians, each carrying tools for diagnostics and common repairs in fully stocked mobile workshops. We follow Australian Standards for all installations, with compliance certificates issued where required by regulation. If you're coordinating work with strata, agents, or council, we provide documentation suitable for maintenance logs and approval processes.

When a pipe bursts at a Wollstonecraft property, the priority is stopping water flow to limit damage. We use electronic ultrasonic leak detection to locate hidden leaks behind walls or under slabs without invasive demolition, then isolate the affected section and assess whether repair or replacement is needed. Active leaks justify emergency dispatch; we're available 24/7, with urgent jobs sent out immediately and an ETA provided based on the nearest available technician and current traffic.

Burst pipes in older homes often trace back to galvanised steel or copper lines that have corroded over decades, particularly where electrolysis occurs at joins or the pipe has been subjected to ground movement. In newer properties, bursts can result from water hammer, inadequate pressure regulation, or freeze-thaw cycles in exposed external lines. After the repair is completed, whether it's a sectional replacement, a compression fitting, or a full line renewal, we test the system under normal operating pressure to confirm the join is leak-free and secure.

Minor leaks at fixtures (dripping taps, weeping toilet cisterns) seem insignificant but waste substantial water over time and can cause hidden moisture damage to surrounding structures. We tighten or replace worn washers, seals, and valve components, then verify the fixture operates without drips or seepage. All pipe repairs are backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship.

Dripping taps waste water and increase utility bills, but the fix is typically straightforward. A constant drip usually indicates a worn washer, O-ring, or ceramic disc cartridge inside the tap body. We disassemble the tap, identify the failed component, and replace it with the correct part for your tap brand and model. The repair is tested under normal water pressure to confirm the leak is resolved and the tap operates smoothly without drips or stiffness.

In practice, older brass tapware often requires washer replacement, while modern mixer taps use cartridge systems that need full cartridge renewal when they fail. We carry common replacement parts for established brands (Caroma, Dorf, Methven, Clark) in our mobile workshops, allowing same-visit resolution for typical tap repairs. If the tap body itself is corroded or the valve seat is damaged beyond re-seating, replacement is recommended; we explain the options and provide a quote before ordering new fixtures.

Beyond stopping leaks, we can advise on water-efficient tap upgrades that reduce flow rates without affecting usability, particularly useful for investment properties or homes aiming to lower running costs.

Shower faults show up as low water pressure, temperature fluctuations, dripping showerheads, or leaks at the base or through walls. Fixed Today Plumbing assesses the symptom and traces the cause: blocked showerhead aerators reduce flow, worn mixer cartridges cause temperature swings or leaks at handles, and failed shower base seals or cracked grout allow water to penetrate the substrate and cause concealed damage.

We repair or replace faulty components, cartridges, showerheads, seals, or tapware, then test the shower under normal operating conditions to confirm flow, temperature control, and leak-free operation. For concealed leaks behind tiles or in the shower base, we use moisture meters or thermal imaging to locate the affected area before opening walls, minimising unnecessary damage to finished surfaces. If tile removal is required, we coordinate re-waterproofing and tiling with licensed waterproofers where structural penetration has occurred.

Upgrading to water-efficient showerheads (WELS-rated models) reduces water consumption without noticeable pressure loss, which helps lower utility costs over time. We explain options during repair visits where upgrades are relevant.

Gas work in Wollstonecraft covers installations, repairs, and safety checks for gas hot water systems, cooktops, ovens, and space heaters. All gas fitting is performed by NSW-licensed gasfitters (Licence 305428C) in strict accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1 gas installation standards. That standard governs pipe sizing, ventilation, appliance clearances, and pressure testing to ensure systems operate safely without leaks or combustion faults.

A gas leak is identified by the distinctive rotten-egg odour (added mercaptan), hissing sounds near appliances or pipes, or dying vegetation over underground gas lines. If you smell gas, the immediate action is to avoid ignition sources (switches, flames), ventilate the area, and isolate the supply at the meter if safe to do so; then book a properly licensed gasfitter for urgent assessment. We use electronic combustible gas detectors and soapy water tests to locate leaks, then repair or replace the faulty section. After any gas work, a mandatory pressure loss test is conducted to verify the system is gas-tight before recommissioning.

New gas connections, for example, adding a gas cooktop or connecting a gas hot water service system, require compliance certificates upon completion. We handle the full process: assessing the existing gas supply capacity, installing new pipework to the appliance location, fitting isolation valves and flexible connectors, testing the installation, and issuing the certificate. Gas appliance servicing includes checking burner operation, cleaning jets, testing for correct flame pattern and carbon monoxide levels, and confirming safe combustion and ventilation.

Fixed Today Plumbing operates as a family-owned business with over 15 years across Sydney. That longevity, combined with 800+ verified reviews and a near-perfect 5-star rating, reflects consistent quality and clear communication across thousands of completed jobs. We use licensed plumbers, maintain full insurance, and back all workmanship with a Lifetime Labour Warranty, bounded accountability tied to the quality of the installation or repair.

Our technicians wear uniforms, arrive in marked vehicles, and can confirm identity before entry where requested. Police checks and background checks are completed for all attending staff. We protect floors with drop sheets, use boot covers where appropriate, and clean up the work area before leaving. You're kept informed throughout: what's being done, what was found, and what the outcome verification involves.

Pricing is fixed and quoted by the job, not by the hour. The quote includes labour, parts, and testing; no hidden fees are added at completion. If scope changes during the work, such as additional damage found once a wall is opened or parts that need ordering—we pause, explain the situation, and provide a revised quote before continuing. You decide whether to proceed once the full picture is clear.
