I've got a 4" extractor fan (Model GET GFAN4P) in my bathroom with a separate ceiling pull switch. It doesn't have a timer. Short of replacing the fan completely, is it possible to add a timer to the fan or pull switch?

I did buy a fan run-on timer circuit board on ebay once. The fan needs a switched and unswitched live connection, if you are going to install it in the fan casing.
Alternatively you could put it near the switch if the switch has a neutral wire available and there's somewhere suitable to house it safely.
Yes - you can get timer DIN modules for mains use from RS and Farnell in various configurations. Pop it in a small box en-route and Bob's your father's brother.
Yes, £17 off ebay or amazon.
