there is special urethane bumper repair stuff, i don't know if its called an epoxy or whatnot but its a 2 part mixture, you spread it on and it can be sanded down.
Id use that stuff with some type of mesh, probably fiberglass, and then scuff up the bumper(inside obviously) behind the crack and apply the fix.
That would be the easiest way to keep it from spreading IMO.

I agree with Paul.....scuff the inside of the cover with rough paper and apply some fiberglass matting. Then you can bodywork the crack on the outside if you want with some proper filler.

Can this stuff, if used by a professional, produce near perfect results? Or would it be better to replace?

It's really hit or miss depending on the quality of the original material and the prep. You need some good scratches in the plastic to get some bite. And if you ever hit it again it'll be the first thing to crack. But if done right it should provide a long lasting repair.
