Andy, the internals of mira mixers can be replaced, you can buy service kits from good plumbers merchants or direct from Mira. For the spindle sealing there is an O-ring which you get with the service kit.
To get the thing apart you need to pull off the outer and inner control knobs and unscrew the large brass nut (15/16" I think). There may also be a c-clip on the spindle which you need to lever off with a small screwdriver; this will, without fail, fly across the bathroom and probably dissapear down the toilet and round the U-bend. All of this is a lot easier if you run the shower on it's hottest setting for a while to warm the body up a bit and clean off the limescale with a splash of vinegar or proprietary stuff.
When you put it all back together again don't forget a dab of silicone grease on the moving parts.
