Installed mid-1999 in my absence by someone I can't trace. Now the
temperature control knob (lower in second pic) has broken. Have ggogled my
life away but can find nothing just like it. Plumbers merchants are useless
unless I can tell them the exact make and model...

Designs do change, so you might not find the exact same one on the
manufacturers' web sites today. I would look for anything close, then send a
copy of the picture to the customer services department of the relevant
manufacturer and ask if they used to make one like it.

Looks very much like a Trevi shower, what model though is anyones guess.
Contact Trevi, they carry spares for years.

I'd agree with that

If you take the plate off and it looks like this
http://i1.tinypic.com/v7b2o3.jpg
(give or take detail of the knobs) then I think it's a valve sold under
the name 'Sol' by BES and Biasa ("traditional thermostatic shower
valve 31-241") by Bathroom Express (and maybe others). BES don't do spare
parts for theirs (though the whole valve is only £100). I haven't tried
Biasa/Bathroom Express). Please let me know how you get on with spares for
these.

PS Bathroom Express (who seem to identify themselves on the phone as
'Pegasus') are on 01633 244699. Their website didn't have the valve
on it when I fitted that valve a year ago so you probably need to phone
them.

Ta; v helpful. Actually all that's visible under the plate is the panel the
unit's fixed to, with two small holes for the fixing screws, so either the
body of the valve is only visible from the rear (much dismantling, just
redecorated, grr) or it's a different make.

Sounds like a different unit then. If it was the type I neant you'd see
seeing either plaster or concrete where some numpty had rendered it all in
or at least the screws for the flow adjusters either side.
