I'm after a doorbell (preferably one which has two or more sounders) which doesn't use batteries at all. I.e. both the button(s) and the sounders are mains powered. I don't even mind all that much if wire is required between the button(s) and the sounders but wireless would be easier. Are there any out there? I can find quite a few with mains powered sounders but they still have battery powered buttons.

I don't know, but it's worth pointing out that the bell push batteries last pretty much the battery shelf life in normal use as they're only drained when the button is pushed. Cheers

Are there any 'all mains' doorbells at reasonable prices?

I tried 7up once and she didn't like it.

Yes, you can easily buy a bell and a transformer. Likely you can also modify a battery operated one to use power from a transformer. I recently did just that using a transformer that had 4,8 and 12v options.

When I replaced the push buttons at the front and back doors I found that there had obviously been many previous ones. Unlike the other mains operated one that has remained the same for the past 30 years.

The transformer I got looks like this:
