Morning, first time poster

I couple of my upvc window handles aren't working properly. The push buttons are stuck so the opening mechanism isn't working.
I can get the windows open using a trick I saw on YouTube and am confident in how to replace handle. My question is whether the buttons can be repaired? Just trying to save a few pounds amd avoid buying new handles.
TIA

No way of repairing the buttons to my knowledge. It's effectively just a plastic clip ( some are metal ) , and honestly , really not uncommon foe them to go wrong

It's funny that you linked to those handles because they're exactly the ones I replace daily with failed push buttons, I've done 6 today already, 2 at one job and 4 at another

I've replaced four of my handles with these, and yes, two of the buttons have failed!
It's a pity, as the handle is nice and solid and has a positive closure, that keeps the handle level - perfect for my semi-OCD :)
