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

I doubt you're going to find a socket face with 4 screw holes.
Why not just get a surface socket and backbox and affix it over the hole,
providing the existing cables have enough slack of course
