The Bumpers on my van are not painted. Unfortunately I managed to drive the van gently into a wall when manoeuvring in a tight space. I appreciate that there may not be an easy fix for this but does anyone have any ideas to improve this cosmetically, perhaps by very gently rubbing down with very fine emery for example. This may not work at all and/or make it worse.

There are companies that repair that type of damage.

Thanks Andy I am trying to contact Revive to see what they can offer and if I get anywhere I will post an update.

Sand it down with fine wet and dry then use linseed oil on all bumpers and trims
 
I said I would update responses.
Curiously the various options for a "proper" fix all cost in the region of £300-£350. The options offered are :-
1. Revive
a) Treat area (they don't say exactly how) and repaint. They say for a match all three bumper sections need to be painted. £300
b) Same as above but repaint whole bumper to match van colour including a gloss coat. £350
2. Replace Bumper
OEM part approx £200 + say £100 for labour.
Local breaker does not have a part meantime but charges approx 50% of new price for parts.
There would be a concern that a new part would not colour match the existing bumper sections.

I can see little downside in attempting gentle abrasion because it won't compromise the other possibilities.
