Do I need a re-bore?

If my piston has worn, and damaged the bore, wil I need a re-bore, or can a kit overcome the problem?

yes is the answer ,you need to get it rebored to the next oversize for isnstance 0.5mm and get a piston kit to match it.when i rebore a barrel i will only do it once i have the new piston in my hand as they do fluctuate on size very slightly from manufacturer.so if the barrel is worn or scored yes you need a rebore or the new piston will get damaged very quickly and cannot seal against the cylinder wall properly anyway.

if you had it re-bored a new over-sized piston kit with ring's will be supplied for the price you have been quoted
