Default Replacing an Old Mira Shower

Hi all,
Can anyone help here.
My house is around 20 years old. I have a Mira 88 shower installed
which is tiled over - that I assume came with the house - I bought the
house 5 years ago. The shower, I believe, is a manual.
The shower has stopped working altogether. I've been told to get 'the
same shower unit' by a plumber and when I search Google they have the
newer Mira 88 Gem. Would this model be the same design as my Mira 88
(which I assume is from the mid 1980s)?
Also, how much would/ should it cost to replace this shower unit
(remembering it is tiled over)? I've just had a new combination boiler
put in with radiators - should I switch to another shower altogether.

Please note I am very new to showers and plumbing and would appreciate
if jargon and terminology is kept to a minimum.
Thank you v much for your response - this ng really is a lifesaver!

TH
