Trying to identify light fitting

Visited the parents at the weekend & they've managed to damage one of the light sockets, so a bayonet bulb won't clip in. I (foolishly?) volunteered to fix it, thinking it would be simple enough to get a replacement fitting, probably on eBay, and swap them over.
So far though I've been unable to find a replacement, possibly because I'm not searching for the correct term.
It's the white socket that the bulb twists in to.
The light is similar to
and the fitting is like this
Does anyone know
a) the correct name for the part
b) If I'm likely to be able to buy a spare
(alternatively a direct link to said item for sale somewhere would be most welcome)

Never seen them sold separately but you could buy a cheap fitting and remove the holder then fit it to your parents light.

If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it.0
