As Kelv said, should be very straight forward & not much ££ either.

i know it sounds daft mate but what you can see isnt always all thats wrong

take the bumper off and look behind it
if 5he rest of the panel is ok its a pice of piss should cost no more than £150 to be done right

imo you won't need any filler as you can dent pull (machine) or pdi(paintless dent removal) file and sand the area a bit of high build primer top and clear

Job done

Alex, i had a dink in my panel there on my old black Escos years ago, pretty similar looking to yours.

guy only needed the car for a day and i dont think it cost me anymore than £150.
