kitchen tap hole

[cesko]

Hi, my kitchen sink tap is leaking and I would like to replace it. I bought it from Ikea 10 years ago and cannot remember if the sink already had a hole or not. If it had, I assume it can be matched with most taps. But what if the hole was drilled in the sink for the tab I got? If it was, did it have to match the specific size of the tap? It has a 19 cm circumference, bigger than usual. My query now is: how can I find out if the hole is of a standard size? Not easy to see from the bottom. And very importantly I don't want to remove the leaking tap until I have bought the right new one.
Thank you so much.

Do you mean from underneath the sink?

You will probably find most Taps will fit.Is the sink steel.?

Chicken and egg then - you won't know whether the new one will fit until you've removed the old one and measured the size of the hole. Going to have to take the plunge one way or the other. IKEA have a nasty habit of making things in weird sizes
