I don't think you'll find many that are sold separately, without a rail. And you can find all the information online.

If not getting the true Mira item - but do try to - then compare their lengths - how far out the holder holds the handset. Certainly don't get a shorter one, as the hose can foul the wall.I'd try and get the part NOW, and then do the job!Check eBay - often very good for parts - even a good used item should do.1

Do you mean replacing the whole vertical pipe (with the holder)? Why? It's a pipe supplying the shower, not just a riser.ThisIsWeird said:If not getting the true Mira item - but do try to - then compare their lengths0 -
When I replaced one on our Mira electric it was easy enough to order online, came through the post quite quickly. Check parts number for your shower.philtheman379 said:think I will take the broken holder off and take it to the shops to ensure I get the right replacement
The one on electric shower is less complex than your one,hardest bit I found was finding recessed allan bolt to release plate.Play with the expectation of winning not the fear of failure. S.Clarke1 -

Just the handset holder - the broken part.
From unpleasant experience, many of the generic items will be annoyingly different - holder taper wrong, so wobbly handset, holder length too short, so exiting hose is pressed against the wall, making it hard to set, that sort of stuff.
Really worth trying to get the correct Mira item, if at all possible.2 -

Really worth trying to get the correct Mira item, if at all possible.Just £32 if you insist (+delivery I guess)Not that bad considering the shower price - almost £500.1 -
Nicely found - and £OUCH!1

By all means look for a third-party item, Phil, but please bear in mind the points I made - a sloppy fit just feels cheap, so test-fit if you can

Sometimes these things will come up on auction, so could be less.1 -
