The Specialisation of Saniflo Repairs Saniflo systems use macerating and pumping technology to move waste where gravity drainage is not possible. Because they combine electrical and mechanical components, they require specialist knowledge rather than standard plumbing methods.
London Repair Service
Can a Standard Plumber Repair a Saniflo? In many cases, no. Saniflo units rely on a macerator pump, membranes, microswitches, and electrical controls. Incorrect repairs can lead to repeat failures, leaks, or electrical faults.
- Complexity and Specialisation: Macerator systems require specialist diagnosis.
- Nature of the Job: Repairs involve contained waste systems and electrical components.
- Expertise Matters: Dedicated Saniflo engineers resolve faults faster and more reliably.
Our engineers regularly attend properties across London to diagnose blocked macerators, constant running units, intermittent activation, electrical cut-outs, slow pumping, and unpleasant odours caused by internal waste build-up.
A professional Saniflo repair service focuses on identifying the root cause of the problem rather than replacing the unit unnecessarily. Common faults include worn membranes, damaged microswitches, limescale build-up, restricted discharge pipework, and failing motors.
Saniflo systems are frequently installed in bathrooms, en-suites, basements, loft conversions, and commercial premises. Regular servicing helps prevent emergency breakdowns and significantly extends the working life of the macerator system.
If your Saniflo becomes noisy, slow to pump, or starts emitting bad smells, early inspection can prevent further damage. Addressing minor faults quickly often avoids motor failure or costly electrical repairs.

Saniflo Repairs Problems FAQ
1. Why won’t my Saniflo stop running?
This is usually caused by a faulty microswitch, damaged membrane, or water ingress into the pressure chamber.
2. My Saniflo is making loud noises. What does that mean?
Loud noises often indicate foreign objects or heavy limescale affecting the macerator blade.
3. What causes a Saniflo system to start by itself?
Intermittent activation is commonly linked to a leaking membrane, faulty microswitch, or non-return valve fault.
4. Why is my Saniflo leaking?
Leaks can be caused by worn seals, internal blockages, pressure build-up, or excessive chemical use.
5. How do I fix a Saniflo that’s not pumping out waste?
This may be due to a blocked discharge pipe, jammed macerator, frozen pipework, or a failing pump motor.
6. What does it mean if my Saniflo smells bad?
Bad odours usually result from waste build-up, poor descaling routines, or ventilation issues.
7. Why is my Saniflo activating intermittently?
This is often caused by a damaged membrane, faulty microswitch, or water ingress inside the unit.
8. How can I unblock my Saniflo?
Ensure power is connected, then check for blockages in the toilet, shower trap, or discharge pipework.
9. Why does my Saniflo keep tripping the electrics?
Electrical tripping is usually caused by water ingress, worn motor insulation, or capacitor failure.
10. What should I do if my Saniflo box is very hot?
A hot unit often indicates a jammed motor. Switch off the power and arrange an inspection immediately.
11. Can freezing weather affect my Saniflo system?
Yes. Waste pipes can freeze, preventing discharge and causing the unit to back up.
12. What causes foam to leak from my Saniflo?
Excessive use of high-foaming cleaners can create foam that interferes with pumping and causes leaks.
13. How can I stop my Saniflo from vibrating or buzzing?
Vibration is often caused by obstructions in the macerator blade or failing internal components.
14. What if my Saniflo won’t activate?
This may be due to a blocked breather pipe, broken membrane, faulty microswitch, or power supply issue.
15. Why is water backing up in my Saniflo?
Backups are commonly caused by blockages, restricted pipework, or mechanical faults inside the unit.
16. How do I prevent blockages in my Saniflo system?
Avoid flushing wipes, kitchen roll, sanitary products, and excessive chemicals.
17. Can I connect a washing machine to my Saniflo?
Yes, but only if the unit is designed for grey water. A Sanivite is normally used for washing machines.
18. Why does my Saniflo run for a long time after use?
Extended run times can indicate blocked pipework, stiff membranes, or internal limescale damage.
19. How often should I service my Saniflo?
Annual servicing is recommended to reduce breakdowns and extend the lifespan of the system.
20. My Saniflo is not flushing properly. What can I do?
This is often caused by partial blockages or ventilation problems within the system.
21. Why is my Saniflo making a humming noise but not working?
A humming sound with no operation usually indicates a blown capacitor or jammed motor.
22. Can I repair my Saniflo myself?
Minor issues may be resolved safely, but complex repairs should be handled by a specialist to avoid further damage.
These FAQs provide general guidance for common Saniflo issues. For accurate diagnosis and safe repairs, professional assessment is always recommended.
