I used these white plastic wall mounted door shields to cover the
holes in the sink. Color matched, easily modified and have a nice
beveled edge right out of the package. Two of these will do the
trick: http://hardware.hardwarestore.com/73-463-wall-bumpers/door-

Here's mine installed with a foot switch (stashed inside the sink
cabinet when not in use) that controls my faucet as well:
