Or is this something that I need an engineer from openreach to do and if so how do I go about arranging it and how much do you think it'd cost. I've had an admittedly quick look on their site and cant see a way to contact them for this. Any help would be much appreciated

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

For clarity, are you referring to a cable which goes from the master socket to the modem it's self, or about a cable that goes to a box that the modem plugs into?
I might be mistaken, but your description of a pair of blue/white and with/blue wires connected to the BACK of the faceplate, sounds more like a standard extension connection than a modem RJ11. I.E. something like...
[ NTE 5 - master ] << blue / white pair >> [ socket ] << RJ 11 >> [ modem ]

Don't forget to 'disconnect' via your router interface before powering down the modem, when the wiring is complete connect and power the modem and wait for the DSL light to got solid green before firing up your router.

And I'm pretty sure it is the BT data extension.
So I should be alright getting a non flat rj11 cable with connectors and using that. If it doesn't work then I'll just put it back how it was connected to start with.

I put a link up before to something on Amazon that would do the job - I'll pop back with a link if I can find it.

This seems pretty straightforward. Just got to make sure I take pictures of where the wires are connected before taking them out just in case I need to put it back together the way it was before. All I need to do now is wait for the replacement cable to be delivered.
