Hit garage wall at low speed - is this easily fixed?

Stupidly hit the garage wall earlier at about 1mph. The damage is less than expected and no cracks etc but it's left what look like a line of stone chips.

Is this easily repairable by a body shop? Tried TCut colour fast black which has slightly improved the look of it.

It’ll need paint if you want a perfect finish.
T cut can’t repair broken paint.

Was just wondering if the chips could be filled. I've got a touch up pen from VW but I imagine it'll take a bodyshop to get it 100% as it was.

If you've got a rotary / da / strong arms and patience, I'd give it a better going over with polish to see if you can reduce the damage to a satisfactory level before getting too drastic.

If it was me I’d have a go at fixing the damaged bits individually like stonechips. Plenty of how to’s on YouTube. The advantage the punter has over the pros is much more time.
A body shop will just rub the lot down and refinish the area. No pros (including the chips away types) would mess about like you can at home.

Wall is easily repaired with a few bricks and cement, no amount of t cut or polish will even touch it..

Thanks all.

As said it was at around 1-2 mph with some stone chips which have polished/been touched up. Car seems fine and drives OK, no chance of any hidden damage is there or has the bumper just flexed?

I'm disappointed as its brand new (well just over 6 months old).

Unlikely to be any hidden damage at that speed.

I feel your pain, reversed my last Focus into a low wall when dropping my wife at the train station when it was less than 3 months old, left a very small hairline crack in the bumper which fortunately was only visible if you knew it was there (which I did ).... my new Focus has reversing sensors.
