Broken kitchen tap - help!

I've managed to break my kitchen tap, it's a mixer tap, and the cold water knob has come away from the entire thing (sorry it's not technical, best way I can describe it), and there's water dribbling from it. I've turned off the tap as best I can, but it's obviously still running a little.
We've got the plumber coming tomorrow to fix the shower for the landlord, so I'm going to ask him to fix it and will square him up for the tap as I'm the one that's broken it (trying to get it to stop dripping), so I don't want to call one out today, especially since it's a Sunday afternoon.
Is there anything I can do temporarily, or is it a case of grin and bear it until it gets fixed?
Oh, and does anyone know how much roughly it costs to fix something like this?

Hi.
Take the hot handle off and use it for both?

A photo or two would help.0

A new mixer tap can be purchased from around £20+, some are slightly cheaper. Labour would probably be the the bigger expense. Ceramic valves are meant to be more reliable.
Have a look on eBay.0
