Pool & Spa Pump Repairs
Heater & Spa Parts repairs selected pool and spa pumps where we currently sell the brand, stock parts, or can properly support the repair. We do not offer guesswork repairs on unknown, unsupported or no-parts pumps.
Pump Repair Pricing
Pump repairs vary depending on the brand, model, condition, water damage, electrical condition and parts required. The prices below give you a practical starting point before we inspect the pump.
Inspection and quote only. Return shipping is extra if the pump needs to be sent back.
Minor repairs such as capacitors, simple leaks, leads, plugs or basic workshop repairs where suitable.
Bearing and mechanical seal repairs on suitable pumps. Final cost depends on pump type and condition.
Brands We Can Usually Help With
We only advertise repairs for pump brands we currently sell, support or regularly stock parts for. If your pump is an unsupported brand, an obscure import or a no-name pump, we may recommend replacement instead of repair.
Common Pump Repairs
Many pool and spa pumps fail from normal wear, leaking mechanical seals, noisy bearings, poor electrical connections, damaged capacitors or previous water ingress. We inspect the pump properly before recommending a repair.
- Noisy pump motor or grinding bearings
- Leaking mechanical seal
- Pump humming but not starting
- Failed start or run capacitor
- Minor electrical lead, plug or terminal repairs
- Wet-end leaks, cracked parts or damaged O-rings where parts are available
- Impeller, diffuser, seal plate or union issues where parts are available
When Repair Is Not Worthwhile
Some pumps are better replaced than repaired. We will tell you if a repair is uneconomical, unsafe or unlikely to last.
- Motor windings are burnt out
- The pump has heavy internal corrosion
- The shaft is badly damaged or seized
- The wet end or motor body is cracked
- The pump is an unsupported import with no reliable parts supply
- The repair cost is too close to the price of a suitable replacement pump
How It Works

- Photo of the pump label or motor nameplate
- Photo of the full pump
- Description of the fault
- Whether it is from a pool, spa, swim spa or circulation system
- Your suburb and whether you want drop-off, pickup or return shipping

Pump Repair FAQ
Do you repair every pump brand?
No. We generally only repair brands we currently sell, support or can source parts for. This avoids wasting money on pumps that cannot be repaired properly.
Is the $39 quote fee refundable?
The $39 quote fee covers inspection and assessment. If you want it treated differently when a repair proceeds, adjust this wording to match your internal policy.
Can you repair a noisy pump?
Often, yes. Noisy pumps commonly have worn bearings, but we still need to check for shaft damage, water ingress, corrosion and mechanical seal failure.
Can you repair a leaking pump?
Often, yes. Leaks are commonly caused by a failed mechanical seal, O-ring, wet-end part or union issue. Repairs depend on the brand, model and parts availability.
Can I post my pump to you?
Yes, if we have confirmed it is worth assessing. Return shipping is extra where required. Pumps must be drained, clean and packed properly before shipping.
Do you test the pump after repair?
Yes. Suitable repaired pumps are checked before return. Some faults only appear under site conditions, such as plumbing restriction, poor suction, air leaks or electrical supply issues.
