Bumpers are extremely easy to change, had mine off many times
But to answer your question, they shouldn't need more than 2 hours for a skilled one to do it.

Seriously, do the bumpers yourself! I can have the front off in less than 10 mins, rear slightly longer but I reckon I could have both changed within 45 mins.
Bonnet is much easier with 2 people though.

Front bumper 5 minutes
Rear bumper 20 minutes
Bonnet 30 minutes plus one person
Grab a mate and some tools and get busy
Garages are most likely to scratch everything
if you damage them then you only got yourself to blame
