bring it to the shop.. they have to over lay more fiberglass to fix it. No other choice... or you can buy another front bumper

There is a polyeurothane bumper repair kit that they can use. It should be no problem, except for the fact that it will have to be painted. When it is done, before you install the back bumper. Cover it with plastic sheeting then get a can of spray foam (hardware store) and fill in the gap between the bumper skin and the steel reinforcement. That will prevent this in the future.
