   Some kind person did this to my front bumper then left without leaving any details.... I hope they catch something unpleasant!
   
   What I want to know is can it be plastic welded or is it new bumper time?

   Yeh should be easily fixable mate. Put a supporting plate on the backside of it and plastic weld it together.

   i would say roughly £150-£250 to repair / re-spray that.

   Probably cheaper to just pick up a second hand front bumper dude.

    drill a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it spreading further.
    
    Then just fiberglass, filler, sand and respray
