Unknown supplier of shower mixer

[Arti]

Hello,

Does anyone recognise this shower/bath mixer tap?? I need to replace the middle cartridge which is supposed to control temperature. Some time ago it started to malfunction and while previously there was only two positions that the knob could go to, now it rotates in clockwise direction without much resistance and it stops when you turn it in opposite direction.
I am not a plumber myself, just doing a bit of bathroom refurbishment for my friend. I really hope some of you guys would know how to go around this!!
Unfortunately the suppliers name is nowhere to be seen neither on a plate nor underneath it.
I am hoping that I will get away with not replacing the hole body, but for that I need to know the supplier and get the right part... I think... Or is there a more simple way??

Any good advise will be much appreciated!!

I fitted one of these about 6 months ago, or a very very similar one but for the love of chocolate can't remember who made it 🙁

Hi Arti This can be hassle for loads of us plumbers when it comes to built in or even surface mounted taps , mixers and even some showers but taps especially never often come with the brand written somewhere and it can be a nightmare trying to source bits / washers for said items, what i usually do is use my best friend google, it can be hassle but needs must, not sure what make you have but ill have squint on google,,,
