So this morning after de-icing my wifes car, she reverses out off drive and backs into mine parked opposite house on other side off the road.

 

cracked my rear bumper, starts from top edge off bumper below the light snd prob about 4 inches long.

 

what are my options, dont want the cost of replacing whole bumper. Whats the best cost effective fix?

 

i knew she was going to hit it, was waving arms like mad trying to get her to stop

Fixable, as long as the structural integrity of the bumper isn't compromised. (I'd be surprised if it is, but it isn't quite clear how the crack goes at the bottom right of your pic.)

You could do it yourself, but TBH I'd take it to someone like Chipsaway. They do this bumper stuff all the time.

Another recommendation for Chipsaway. Did a great job on my Decuma grey 2011 SR - concrete pillar jumped out and bit my read door and wheelarch. Come back like new, 

Just be aware that it is a franchise operation so the quality of work may vary.

Chips away appears to be a franchise.

 

have they fixed cracks for either off you.  Guy who covers my area doesnt repair cracks, says a crack needs plastic welding and his filler isnt strong enough.

 

appears that as a franchise they dont all offer the same services, probably the mobile guys dont fix cracks as it requires removing the buffer.

 

prob the franchises offering crack repairs are larger and have a site they work, and mobile guys are limited to what they can repair
