I have a reversible kitchen sink and the cover for the unused tap hole is need of replacement - it is chrome plated, but looks plasticy now. So far I have found this, this and this.
I like the last one best as it is stainless steel, but at £14 including postage I'm still looking around. Does anyone know of anywhere else i might get one from?

When it comes to installing would i do it in the following order of layers:

Cover
Plumbers mate
Sink
Nut
Little bit of mastic

Thanks for your help, I'm very grateful.

The Franke link don't work.

You get what you pay for, cheap plastic chrome or Stainless.

So do I too be Honest.

The washer goes under the sink to seal it, no other sealant is required, although silicon mastic gets used a lot under the flange.
