I purchased 2x 1/2” tap gland for my basin because the hot one was faulty.

A new one on me though....my internal Stop Tap/Cock is leaking from up between the spindle and the...
I would like to know if there is a bath tap base thread/gland with a 1 Inch thread? It is for a bath tap replacement. The one I bought inc the added spacer extra bit still is too small. And if so where in the UK can I get it ie diy store or ebay?
