Check you have power to the pump with all the ch controlls on, room stat timer ect, if power to the pump check its spinning freely (at least 1500 rpm). what type of boiler/ system is it
 
I would say that the thermostatic valves have stuck themselves in the off position rather than a too small a pump as this would have been a problem from the word go.

take off the heads of the TRV's depending on the type you can usually do this by unscrewing them at the bottom of the head.

once off you should be able to see a pin. push it with a screwdriver, not heavily, if it don't go down then it is stuck

call your plumber to sort it out they should not need replacing just freeing off
 
Who said to small a pump ? I said said check it was working

You say all your radiators have thermostatic valves,there should be one without it unless it is bypass somewhere,to helps to protect the pump.
