Hi Nick,
Very simple.
Purchase a replacement garage remote that is suitable for your system. eBay has many cheaper options for main stream systems.
Program that remote using the instructions from the manufacturer.
Purchase any button that you think would look good! Make sure it is a normally open contact (some buttons can do both n/o and n/c). It should also be just a momentary push button. I used one with an LED ring that I wired up to the lights, so when the lights are on its lit.
Solder wires across the remote control button you have programmed.
Solder the other ends to the new button you have bought. I used crimp spade connectors on the wires so I can easily remove the remote if needed.
Push the button!
If you need a better write up let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Kev.
