When the existing cable breaks down.

I do have an RCD on the circuit; would that not

That depends on the fault. It should do, but like any mechanical
device it may not operate properly. There are also electrical faults
that such devices don't detect. As a result relying on one to save
one's life is foolish. Far better to avoid the possibility, by
getting a new pump with a new cable.
