It looks identical to the bulbs on this page

but it's in a ceiling fitting, so I can't believe it's low voltage. It must be 240V.
It has no markings or writing on it. Please help, it's in the loo and it's really dark in there.

I can believe that it is low voltage (all of those in the pictures are). A lot of those ceiling fixtures have small transformers built-in to reduce the line voltage to 12 volts or so (anything under 24 volts is "low").
What you need to do is pull a bulb out and read the number that is etched onto it. Then just put that number into google to find its info or bring it into a store like Lowes or HD and ask about areplacement.

There are 240 volt versions of this lamp are you sure there is no markings on either the fitting or the lamp?
Remember when you find a replacement that like all halogen lamps you must not touch the glass capsule with your fingers as it will cause the lamp to burn out very quickly, use the polythene wrapper to hold the capsule as you fit it.

I'll try to get you going in the correct direction:
1) It can be a low-voltage lamp. There is very possibly a small transformer in the light fixture that knocks the voltage down to keep the heat in the fixture low and to provide some sort of cost/usage value to the user.
My background is in the US market so I know of no manufactures/sellers in the UK with whom I have worked. I can invite you to use:

If I am incorrect please excuse me, I am going from your 'spec sheet' and can only hope that my response is correct! Good luck!

If it's a ceiling light it probably runs through a transformer and they are usually low voltage
