If you're going to replace it do yourself a favour and get an electronic one from your local electrical supplier, they run cooler, use less power, extend bulb life, don't flicker, and are generally far superior to the magnetic type (which is what you have) which are ancient technology!

Last time I bought one it was a double unit and cost around £20, singles are cheaper, just choose a wattage to match your tube.
I buy them from a local electrical wholesaler and they're cheaper than I can find online with no postage to pay, I usually get Philips ones but other brands should be just as good. They normally come without wires or caps, so just clip the wires off your old one before you chuck it out and use those.
