Zipponi shower - parts?

[ITGuy]

Hi,

I had a crew refit my bathroom a few years back and they installed a mixer shower which I've managed to identify as a Zipponi 1070C:

The temperature valve has, over the years, seized and I've been able to free it with WD40 and a friend's socket set. This last time, however, it's absolutely solid and even a local plumber couldn't get it free. Sadly, he'd never heard of the brand and wanted to rip out the Italian tiles to put in a different model. I don't have replacement or spare tiles to match.

He did say that he could apply strong heat and whip out the whole valve unit if I could find a replacement. So does anyone know where I can get hold of the parts for Zipponi in the UK? Internet searching has proved fruitless.

Many thanks, in advance,
Dave

Thanks for your time, Eco, but I tried doing this and the link doesn't work - the form won't submit. I've also tried emailing them but have not had a response.

Anyone heard of Zipponi showers in the UK?

Thanks again,
