Best way to repair a minor ding / nick

[elecTED]

Had my first ding today. Low speed impact to back bumper whilst reversing Was inevitable a lapse in concentration would lead to something like this sooner or later.

There is a minor depression at the point of impact too.

Is it possible to get a Tesla touch-up pen or repair kit in the UK to fix this issue?

Has anyone repaired / touched up something like this before? And if so, has it come out really good?

Could a professional (body shop/mobile repair) fix this issue at reasonable cost?

That isn't metal - I think that's plastic. I'm amazed at what they can do to metal but don't know what can be done with plastic.

Thanks. I have a SC visit coming up in a few weeks so will ask them if they can do something too. They must have repair kits they use to fix / touch up minor marks and issues after handover.

Personal experience has taught me that the quality of work is very dependant on the individual who turns up. Of three times, two were great and one was poor.

Chipsaway here are very good. Run by an ex-army chap, who seems to be a bit of a perfectionist.

Depending on the dink the plastic bumper can tend to reshape to some extent over a period of time ... some warm sun on it helps the process ... it can continue improving over days or even longer. Maybe leave it a while if you can just to see how it ends up. Chipex make some touch up paint (I've got some but haven't tried it yet). My own bumper had a massive V shaped indentation from a garage door incident and a few hours later it it popped out! It continued to improve and you can only see a hint of a ripple if you look closely.

He's based in Amesbury, Hampshire, but seems to cover a radius of maybe 50 miles or so from there, I think.
