I suppose there is a possible solution in replacing it with a good used one...whether your garage would agree to this is doubtfull...
If you're handy with spanners and can bleed brakes you could diy, not a hard job

Most garages won't do that because they can't prove the provenenance of the used one so have no idea if it was recently fitted to the breaker car that "donated" it or whether it was on its last legs and was the reason the car was sent to the breakers yard.
Two extremes there but the only way the garage could guarantee the work is to supply the master cylinder then their insurance will cover them from any damages arising from premature failure of the new master cylinder. Of course the idea is that with a new one that won't happen...............
