Damaged car - any idea on cost?

Hi,

I've recently got a quote to fix an Astra, about 2 years old, for a small scrape on the bumper about 3 inches long. It's just under the number plate, where the bumper bends in an L shape. The scrape in actually on the bend, if you know what I mean.

Anyone any ideas on potential costs to fix this? I realise it'll be hard to give a figure, but just a very rough estimate would be good! Can't see any dents to the body work at all.

    assuming it's on the same panel, I suspect it'll cost £100 - £150 to have it resprayed by chips away. not used them though so not sure of quality. I believe Halfords offer a similar service too but higher price.
    :D
