Well it depends on how bad/deep it is - a photo would help. Personally, if it's the lower-front bumper I'd say get some touch-up paint and cover it up. Bumpers will get scratches. They are also plastic which typically means dealers will want to respray the whole thing which is gonna be expensive - a popular dealer in Brussels wanted to charge me close to 1000 EUR for a respray ;-) I don't think they do spot repair on plastic (spot repair is quite cheaper). Anyway, see what quote a dealer would give you, but unless it's horrid a touch-up will save you some cash until it gets so bad due to scrapes/stone chips that a respray would be needed. if you need to / decide to go for a respray any good bodyshop can help out for far less in terms of $$$ as the process is basically sanding, priming, respraying. Not all bodyshop will be able to colour-match the paint though...
