Is this repairable?

Some twat reversed into me the other day, came back to see the car like this. :mad: Haven't been to anybody shops yet but can this be easily repaired? The bumper is plastic and the paint is a pearl effect. wouldn't mind if its was just a few nicks but as you can see the plastic has bended slightly.

Course it is Damo, bring it out to Dev, I'd do it for you, but with the time involved, the bodyshop will end up being the same. Pearl paint's easy enough to match anyway.

cheers Owen, can imagine the marks can be easily filled but can one be able the make the plastic straight again, its a bit of an eye sore when the light catches it?
