As manufacturers don't make their own batteries, they're all going to come from an unknown 3rd party manufacturer, and even they can get caught out (there was an issue with a batch of Samsung ones a while ago, though not affecting the S3 mini afaik).
You may strike lucky and find a shop that has one in stock. If it's faulty, you have an easy comeback, of course. I'm not sure that Amazon sell batteries themselves, so it'll be a 3rd part seller on marketplace. If you go there or ebay, make sure you use a UK-based supplier and that you pay a erasonable price (and check the feedback) - as I said, around ten pounds would be about right. Neither criterion is a guarantee, but it's about the best you can do.
Once a battery swells, it's a goner, so you need to do this as soon as you can. The best test of a new battery, of course, is that it works and keeps working!
