A retrofit kit includes brackets and a readily replaceable impactable cover plate for protecting a conventional polymeric bumper at a loading dock. In some cases, the retrofit kit includes an adjustment feature that allows the impactable cover plate to fit bumpers of various projections, wherein a bumper's projection is the distance that the bumper protrudes away from the wall or other surface to which the bumper is attached. The impactable plate can be installed to protect various types of conventional bumpers such as unitary molded bumpers or those that comprise a stack of rubber pads. The impactable plate is designed to be more durable and easier to replace than the original bumper itself. The kit and method can be used for retrofitting bumpers made of rubber, plastic or other polymers.
