There are actual companies that just repair plastic bumpers without replacing the bumper. I never tried it, but I heard it's decent. But IMHO, if you want a good job repaired, you have to replace the whole bumper and get a good paint shop.

But then you get into a second problem, plastic bumpers are VERY hard to match the color of the body. Simply because you're painting on two different types of material. Plus the sun ages the paint a little on the original work. That is why some people even go as far and paint the whole car again when they get in an accident, off course the insurance company never pays for that.
