The Saniflo parts that fix most machines.

Can a Saniflo be repaired?

In most cases yes. We have worked on a unit over twenty years old that was still going strong. All it needed was a new switch. Most plumbers will not touch a macerator because of what is inside one. Plenty of people have been told they need a new unit by someone who never took the lid off. Often it is an £11.99 switch. Repairing the machine you have is cheaper than replacing it and it keeps a working unit out of landfill. That is why this business exists.

When it is not worth repairing

We would rather tell you to stop spending than sell you parts that will not help.

• If it trips the breaker the motor has failed and the machine is finished
• If the blade turns freely with a new capacitor fitted and it still will not start, the motor has failed
• If the body is cracked or the outlet spigot has perished through, parts will not save it

Never remove the dielectric oil from a Saniflo motor. It needs it to run. There is nothing inside the motor to repair.

Before you start

Once the parts are fitted, set the machine up outside on an RCD adapter and fill it with water before plumbing it back in. Point the outlet into a drain or a bucket then let it run for a few minutes. If something is not seated correctly you will find out there rather than under the bathroom floor. More detail on faults is in our Saniflo troubleshooting FAQ.
