Default Wanted, simple mains powered water pump for garden

Is there such a thing? We just want a simple pump with (probably)

Doesn't need to be continuous rated, it will only get run for tens of
minutes. Submersible pumps don't fill the bill. Needs to be able to
self prime and lift water a metre or so on the suction side.

You'd think it was a simple requirement but there really doesn't seem
to be such a thing at a sensible price (i.e. less than £100,
preferably a lot less).

Any ideas?

I'm using an old shower pump to boost pressure from our borehole. One
would probably do what you need.
