Push button flush?

The single push button flush on our toliet has snapped - Not surprising really as it's plastic painted silver. Wherever i look online, suggestions tell me to replace the entire leaver system rather than just the button and its housing. (Like this http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...0495&id=43148#) Anyone know where i might be able to buy this piece alone, rather than the entire thing?

The answer is NO!.
Unfortunately it's called 'economics'
I ran my own market stall several yrs ago and had a similar question from a customer for a vacuum cleaner switch button. I said yes I can order you one and it's £19.50 What!!. well I'll have to buy the whole thing and take the button off leaving me a switch I can't sell. Haven't you got one in stock? No it's like asking a car shop why they haven't got your number plate ready made in stock.
