Default Blocking tap hole for stainless steel sink

We have an old stainless steel sink which we can't afford to/don't
necessarily want to replace at present. Trouble is, it has two holes
for taps rather than just one. The existing two-hole mixer tap is very
tatty, not really high enough, and needs replacing. I don't want to
fork out on a new, but effectively obsolete twohole mixer. If I get a
onehole mixer can I buy a nice blanking plate for one of the tap holes?
If so, where?


Why is a two hole fitting 'obsolete'? And so what anyway - so is the sink,
according to yourself. Two hole fittings are my preference - they are much
more rigid in stainless steel. No problems finding nice looking ones
either - or at least last time I checked.

Be aware too that one hole types are designed for high pressure water. If
your hot comes from a storage system they will reduce the flow
considerably.
