If you are only changing the valve, you shouldn't need to be worried, just remove electricity from the pump, isolate the water and change it.
20 minute job if the entry points are the same on the new valve.

even if the valves don't quite close properly, removing the power from the pump will stop it turning on, and you will get a dribble of water at worst, but as it is in a shower, who cares!

I agree, but at my age I'm reluctant to go crawling about in the loft.

£80 to get something done that you are unable to isn't unreasonable.

Yes, I was quite happy to pay someone to do it, 10 years ago I wouldn't have had a problem with DIY, but old age teaches you common sense, even if it costs money.
