Macerator Repair

What macerator repair covers

If your macerator is struggling to drain, backing up, or creating unpleasant smells, the aim is to get it operating reliably again without unnecessary disruption.

• Fault finding to identify the cause of poor performance
• Safe clearing of blockages affecting the pump or discharge pipework
• Checks for leaks and overflow risks around the unit and connections
• Investigation of common odour causes linked to trapped waste or poor flow
• Functional testing to confirm normal pumping and drainage has been restored

When this service is most useful

This repair is a good fit when the unit is installed behind a toilet or in a downstairs cloakroom, basement, garage conversion or small commercial washroom, and you notice:

• The macerator runs but does not clear waste properly
• Slow drainage or repeated blockages
• Gurgling, excessive noise, or intermittent pumping
• Overflow, seepage, or a persistent sewage smell

How the repair is carried out

Work typically starts with isolating the unit safely, then inspecting the macerator and discharge route to locate the restriction or fault. Blockages are cleared using appropriate tools and methods for macerator systems, followed by checks for leaks or damaged components. The system is then tested to confirm it pumps away correctly and shuts off as it should.

Aftercare and preventing repeat problems

Once the macerator is running normally, you will get clear guidance on what should and should not go into the system, plus simple steps to reduce future call-outs. If wear or damage suggests repair will not be reliable long term, you will be told plainly so you can decide the next step.
