What can I replace this with please? I want to minimise the pipe work modifications and the need to replace tiles. Can I have some suggestions please.

Thanks in advance.

Probably not. You'll need to expose the existing pipework and see what you are working with.
 
Wouldn't hurt to consider replacing the tiles anyways. Or cleaning them, at least. ;)

Would it be advisable to remove and take into screwfix to find a match?

If not, what am I looking for once this is exposed? Thanks for your help.

A match is well nigh impossible unless you can identify the valve and get the same one as a replacement.

Pipe layouts, connection positions etc. You should be able to get the outer chrome cover ring off and take a look.
 
The same one is no longer available. I checked with the manufacturer and eBay, etc.
 
The shower would have been fitted and then tiled over. Even if you had an exact match you wouldn't be able to fit it without removing tiles.
 
I've done a few, depends of the connections though, and how zealous the tiler has been.
