You can just buy the transmitter in most cases. Just make sure it’s the same frequency band as the old, sometimes newer models are not the same!
If not it’s a new transmitter and receiver and you can buy any brand you like cheap or not. The only thing that might make your life difficult is if the wiring configuration is different/diff terminal identification and you don’t know how to wire it accordingly! In this situation buy a receiver with the same wiring configuration as the old! Manufacturers provide schematics and obviously you can check your old one.
Danfoss are no nonsense and good. If you are going cheap you could try a Salus RT500RF, 32 quid on Amazon for a programmer and receiver! It’s dirt cheap because of high customer dissatisfaction/difficulties. Much of which stems from using them with the default frequency setting (it can be changed), which nearly always suffers from interference and the fact the 5 time periods require a temperature as well as a time, which has caused many home-owners deep distress verging on nervous breakdown.
You can of course get a GSM one if you want to control it from your phone, it will cost though.
