you can repair it by using epoxy and fiberglass. search related website for full info, commonly done with bumpers cover made of polyurethane, most body shop would know how to do it.

yes any body shop can repair if done properly. Or you can buy a plastic welder for $45 @ harbour freight and do it yourself. then finish as normal

I used the bondo bumper repair kit from autozone for like 8 dollars. worked well. or you could just use stiff mesh and bondo, the bumper repair kit uses a type of epoxy that bonds well to the plastic, but is a little more difficult to sand down.
