The three (3) biggest problems you are likely to face when you have problems with your Saniflo or any macerator that is not working, is:
The smells arrival from the broken macerator and/or minor flooding. seeing a engineer that can unblemished the work fast and will have parts with them. The Cost, some times the fix bill can be more than the price of a new macerator.

So exactly what can you do, here are few tips:
For the smell all you can positively do is open the loo room window and close the loo room door to keep the smell contained in one room and some fresh smelling spray could help, this is only for a broken macerator, if your unit is working Ok and the smell is the main or only qoute then there are other options ready to you, like internal cleaning, new carbon filters and important a breather pipe to the covering of your property. There positively is very diminutive point in calling a engineer that does not have all the major parts for your macerator on board as stock. Many habitancy who have problems with their macerator just call a local or friend or plumber, but they naturally will not have the parts or fully understand how the macerator works and will often just condemn a perfectly fixable macerator, by far your best option is to call some one that positively understands the macerator and will have spare parts with them and preferably some one that will offer a inexpensive fixed price fix service. The cost of repairing a macerator is regularly colse to £100 - £150 + parts, and parts are not high-priced if you do need them. But many habitancy will end up paying a lot more than £150 and most of that payment will be for the dismissal and re-installation of the macerator, the cost of the macerator fix can always and I positively mean always be kept to a minimum with a bit of notice at facility and planning as to how will the macerator be taken out for maintenance. If you think your facility may pose a few problems with dismissal and/or re-installation, and remember this is distinct from the actual fix even though in most cases you would be charged one continues charge, the fix of some macerators in some installations can not start until dismissal is complete, then ask, "if there is a dismissal charge, what is it? " you can expect this to be hourly as the engineer in most cases could not know how long it will take, but regularly even in the most greatest cases less than 1 day and in some cases you will not be charged for easy extractions where there as been good hereafter planning for maintenance as dismissal will be quick and easy or not needed
Often when a macerator is installed there is very diminutive notice as to how repairs will be carried out, this can be a very high-priced mistake, there is one sure fact you can be assured of, and that is that all electrical or mechanical items will stop working one day and your macerator is no different.
We all want our bath room/loo seeing as nice as possible, but just like you would not constantly tile in and fix in your washing motor so that it could not be taken out for repairs with out taking out the kitchen tiles and kitchen cupboards, it is nearly always a very high-priced mistake to install your macerator in this way, this can be positively avoided with easy planning and by remembering the rule below when planning.
The rule is "last in will be first out and the first in will be last out", this easy rule along with saniflo's published 10 golden rules can save you hundreds if not thousands of pounds in fix bills, what it means is that when installing your macerator and bath room/loo the last thing to be installed will nearly always be the first and easiest thing to take out and the first thing to be installed will nearly always be the last and hardest thing to take out, for this narrative were talking generally about tiled rooms.
Example 1: if you do your planning, put your macerator in place first, join together the pipes up, push up the loo against the macerator, unblemished the tiling up to and colse to the loo and macerator, when you need repairs, and one day you will, you may need to lift some tiles to be able to remove the loo so that the macerator can be taken out and repaired.
Example 2: if you plan for maintenance, then you would unblemished the floor tiling first and put both the loo and macerator on top of tiles production sure there is adequate room to positively remove the macerator with out the need to remove the loo or any tiles, any boxing in would be held in place with short screws and sealant production it easy to remove for hereafter fix work
As you can see in example 2 the first thing to be fitted would be the tiles and the last thing to be installed by the plumber would be the macerator and loo, so when maintenance is needed, it is quick and easy to get access to the macerator with out the need to remove the loo or tiles, every facility is unique and different, so its up to you to ensure the planning for hereafter maintenance for your exact installation, but remember the rule
Simple as this may sound, many habitancy do not realise that their macerator as been installed as in example 1 until it develops a fault and and the repairs start, but also many habitancy do not have tiles down and have easy access to the macerator, in both cases seeing a macerator engineer with fixed prices that carry adequate stock parts is a good idea, as a engineer without parts is more likely to just condemn the unit for their own benefit, I have also contain a link below to a contact that will offer you the fixed price macerator repairs service
