is it a built in valve? if so take off faceplate and have a look but chances are you will have to break tiles
if its exposed its just an allen key and 2 x 15mm nuts (turn off water)

Thanks for the reply BingoBongo
Its exposed type.
To confirm - its the allen key accessible from under the valve body and the two 15mms nuts are the ones going into the tiled wall?

the allen keys hold the actual shower onto a plate secured to the wall
yes the 2 nuts at the wall

Thanks - I'll shall remove the assembly tomorrow.
Hopefully it'll be serviceable and can go back on. Suspect I maybe better off fitting a new shower control.
Any recommendations on a make that will have a similar footprint to cover the holes left by the Mira?

Had a look at the Combiforce - fell off my stool - lot of money £224.
Control came off a treat this morning albeit with a big hole in the wall.
Stripped it on the bench - this thing is built so well I'm not going to scrap it. I'll buy some new plastic trims and fit the service kit then put it back on the wall.
Need to fill the hole (which is where the pipes lay) with something I can rawplug then mosaic the broken tiles on top.

Thanks for the offer Allan but I've already got a kit.
