Bumper repair-plastic weld/solvent cement?

[Chromag]

Due to my front bumper having been off a few times, the strip which runs inside the wheel arch and with the aid if the wee screws and clips secures the bumper, has started to come away from the main visible part of said bumper.

Can I repair this by gluing it with solvent cement myself or should I get a professional to do it?

I recently repaired mine using Arildite epoxy. I’d recommend using the 1hr cure time version they sell as the one I used took over 8hrs to cure. I briefly covered it in my thread here:

Brilliant Steve, thanks. I'll look in to that. Can you tell me what you used to clamp it in to place?

I just used a pair of ratchet hand clamps and some masking tape for the bottom edges. It worked well tbh Stew

Cheers I'll look into that just directly.
