Rear Bumper Insert damage and Bumper lowered

I am gutted. Just bought my wife first gen Black and white cooper and some dick head has hit it in a car park. It doesn't look too bad but its annoying as car was mint and we've had it a week. Damage is a 2 inch gash on the chrome insert. Does anyone know or have tried a chrome paint as its only taken the paint off.

The second problem is its shifted the bumper down by about 5mm, not a disaster i know but really annoying. How easy is it to get straightened and lined up again? I am in Berkhamsted Hertfordshire UK if anyone knows of a decent non rip off body shop.

Any suggestions welcome
