Default Can you get a door handle spring repaired?

The spring has broken on one of our internal door handles. Is there
anyone who repairs them?

I can buy a new pair of handles for about 20 quid, but would pay up to
50 to get this one repaired, as new handles will not match the others in
the house and I would need to drill new screw holes. The originals are
c1965 so not much chance of getting exact replacements.

The handle does not appear to be user repairable, it looks like you
would have to remove a retaining metal ring and then replace the
internal spring, presumably a job for a suitably tooled expert. Do they
exist?
