Are all holes for taps the same size?

We have an old Astracast tap which is fitted to a hole in the back of the double sink. There is a single spout for both hot and cold. Can I assume that a similar-looking tap from my local plumbing shop will fit this hole, or do they come in different sizes? I shall get an expert to fit it, of course, but don't want to buy the wrong size. If I need to measure without removing the tap, can I just take the diameter where it enters the hole as a rough guide?
 
lifes never that simple! check the size of the thread on your current tap, some tap holes can only accomodate 1" threads
 
Monobloc Kitchen taps come in a standard size, so don't worry they will fit. Astracast sink origional cae without a hole cut and therefore the hole was made by the installer. :)
