I said, no, the in-built UV/IR blocking filter over the sensor.

I don't blame them, they are not trained to do mods like this.
If they had to replace other parts within the camera they can but taking apart the sensor filter and replacing it with a third party filter is not what they are trained to do.

This sort of mod is only considered by people who are into astro imaging.
