I'm actually quite impressed that they offered to pay upto £1200. I would get a repair quote and send the bill.
Asking for compensation for your time and such I think is pushing it unless you have travel insurance

And if you are paying 1200 GBP for just the trousers (fine, indeed better, to keep this on during travel ...) you would probably have a spare pair anyway... On a less facetious note, (i) agreed that it could also be damaged while being carried to the locker or during boarding, (ii) following the general line of answers above - bespoke travel insurance.

to golfmad's point, ive not been impressed with any travel insurance ive looked at. wonder what Lloyd's charges for the good stuff.
on EOS/E0 i was surprised to see a guy take off his trousers, wearing speedo style underwear, to change into pajamas. interesting times.
idea was just re clothing/jewelry/watch (not handbag) as opposed to baggage.

As I said above, it's 1,131 SDR regardless of your fashion taste. If you want to wear a bespoke suit or carry around a Jackson Pollock under your arm, you should self-insure or be prepared to take some risks.
