Can i have my iPhone 6 Home button replaced by apple? without error 53

I have an iPhone 6, which i unfortunately dropped, the screen smashed and the home button fell out, and i am very familar with error 53. I know that when you have your screen replaced by apple they give you a new touch id sensor, my question is if i take my phone in to apple to have the screen and home button replaced will i be given the touch id function back and loose the chance of error 53, or does the phone need to have the original touch id to get a replacement one?

Regards.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2

Hi,

"will i be given the touch id function back" : Yes, Apple and Apple Authorized Retailers (and only them) have the ability to install a new home button AND make it work again with the processor's secure enclave that allows Touch ID to function.
