Did you replace your radiator because of the hole? Or was it repairable and you got a radiator for another reason?
I replaced the whole radiator for peace of mind, plus I decided to install the new radiator myself so labour was zero cost.

You can get a new end tank fitted but I believe the repair cost would be more than a whole new ebay-spec alloy radiator.

The downside is that my car was off the road for a week or so while I waited for the radiator to arrive.

The upside is that the new all-alloy radiator looks damn blingy under the bonnet:
