Easy repair at any body shop. Figure on about $2k to fix it.
Alternatively, that's a $400 bolt-on outer panel that can be easily replaced with a half day of labour, but the paint job is still going to cost at least $500.
Both alternatives end up at roughly the same $2k cost.

always helps to install tall flags at the back corners of a trailer as well to see where it is... My small little Radio Flyer trailer completely disappears behind the Maverick.

Yep been there, done that, know how, got the tee-shirt. Not a Mav but my 2016 F-150 Screw 157" WB a couple years ago. Same general area. If memory serves yes it was around $1800.

My lesson learned - when backing up a 6x12 pipe top utility trailer into the tractor shed stall, and it's muddy, and the tires 'suddenly' gain traction, a jack-knifed trailer can do bad things.

Small trailers are a PIA to back up . They turn sideways easy . Especially when you can't see them . In the future disconnect trailer light pigtail so rear camera works might help . hindsight you know . live and learn .

I'm probably due because a bicyclist waited at the end of my driveway a couple weeks ago just to tell me he's never seen any do such a good job backing a small trailer.

Try spending a couple hundred dollars with a paintless dent removal guy (pdr) ,you may be amazed how close they can get !
Practice some more trailer parking and fix to perfection at your leisure.

I have a long narrow curvy driveway. Sometimes I'll put some extra weight on the back of the trailer and move it like a big wheelbarrow for the tough spots.
