Pump Repair Leicester
24/7 pump repairs, servicing and supply from our Thurmaston workshop
When a pump stops, the problem rarely stays small. A failed sewage pump can flood a site, a booster pump fault can cut water pressure across a whole building, and a process pump breakdown can halt production within minutes.
From our CovElec workshop at 150 Church Hill Road, Thurmaston, we repair, service and supply pumps for businesses across Leicester and Leicestershire. Our engineers are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, backed by the pump specialists and test facilities of the Rotamec Group.
24/7 Pump Repair in Leicester
Our engineers respond to pump breakdowns day and night, including weekends and bank holidays. Here is how it works:
- Call us, day or night. An engineer answers 24/7.
- Site visit or collection. We attend site to find the fault, or collect the pump and bring it back to our workshop.
- Diagnosis. We strip and inspect the pump, including oil sample analysis where needed, and pinpoint the cause.
- Repair or replace. If repair is the right call, we aim to have the pump back with you within 24 hours for emergency breakdowns. If a replacement is quicker or better value, we tell you straight away and supply a unit from stock or through our distribution partners.
- Test and return. Repaired pumps are tested against the manufacturer’s flow and pressure figures before they go back.
- Reinstall. Our site engineers can refit and recommission the pump for you.
Energy Efficient Pump Upgrades
Pumps are among the biggest energy users on most sites. Pairing a high-efficiency motor with a variable speed drive can make a real difference to running costs: because pump power falls with the cube of speed, slowing a pump by 10% can cut its energy use by around 27%. We can advise on new pumps for upgrades and planned replacements, in line with WIMES specifications where required. Try our energy saving calculator.

Tested Before It Goes Back
A pump that turns over on the bench is not always a pump that performs on site. Using the test facilities across the Rotamec Group, including a high-capacity pump test rig and a submersible soak tank, we check repaired pumps against the manufacturer’s flow and pressure figures before they are returned. That way you are not paying to remove the same unit twice.
Planned Pump Maintenance
Servicing costs far less than a breakdown. We run scheduled maintenance for pump stations and building services, working to WIMES standards where required, so wear is picked up early. Our maintenance visits can include:
- Vibration and condition checks
- Seal, bearing and oil inspections
- Performance testing against duty point
- Control panel and float switch checks
- A clear report with recommended actions
See our preventative maintenance service for more detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you repair a pump in Leicester?
For emergency breakdowns, we aim to return a repaired pump within 24 hours, depending on the fault and parts availability.
Should I repair or replace my pump?
It depends on the age of the pump, its condition and whether parts are still available. We will give you an honest view on both options before any work begins.
Do you repair pumps on site?
Our site engineers can diagnose faults, carry out some repairs and reinstall pumps on site. Larger repairs are done in our workshop, where the pump can be stripped, rebuilt and tested properly.
Which pump brands do you repair?
We repair all major makes, including Grundfos, Flygt, Lowara, Ebara, KSB, DAB, Calpeda, Pedrollo, Sulzer, Mono, Flowserve and SPX Flow.
Do you offer pump maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance for pump stations and building services, working to WIMES standards where required.
Can you repair the motor on my pump?
Yes. We repair and rewind the drive motors on pumps in-house, so the whole unit is handled in one place.
