    Turn off the breaker to the pump before you do anything.
    You might have to run a brand new cable or use a waterproof resin joiner to rejoin cable.

    I would like to use that waterproof resin joiner is easy to get one on a Sunday morning?

    They are really meant for low power loads, although you can get much bigger ones. Would need to know details of pump wattage.

    A “submarine kit” will do it. I doubt you will get one anywhere on a Sunday. They are suitable for large loads too.
