Default Electrical socket replacement

We have a 13A double switched socket in a tiled location. I don't know how
old it is but it's an old-fashioned type with four fixing screws, two at the
top and two at the bottom, as opposed to the modern ones of one at each
side. The socket was physically damaged when something hit it recently so
needs to be replaced. Is there any sort of adapter plate or something that
will get us round the problem of the fixing screws without having to replace
the backbox as well, or do I have to gingerly extracate the backbox from
said tiles?

TIA
