I am planning a style change to my bathroom that involves replacing the taps 
and the shower mixer.

Taking that the gap between the entry pipes, hot and cold, is the same on 
the new unit is replacement just a matter of isolating supplies, detaching 
the existing unit and fitting the replacement or will I need to make holes 
in my walls to access the pipework.

It must make a difference what type of mixer you have. With mine, which is 
an Aqualiser, the pipework and connections to the mixer are behind the 
tiles, so replacement would not be that easy.  But if yours has them in 
front and visible it should be a doddle.
