If you haven't done it yet B&Q and Wickes also Focus do tap centre replacements. They are for updating older style taps without the need to remove the tap body. I've done all mine.

The tap probably has a bad washer and the hot water stem has stripped threads, a plumbing supply store will be able to set you in the right direction provided you bring in these parts.
