there's any antidote, particularly now it shows up quite clearly?

I very much doubt it. Try u.r.g.


Probably happened a couple of weeks ago -- I noticed an area last
week which wasn't very green and watered it. By this week, it's
very clear from the pattern of the dead area exactly what's happened,
a dead spray shaped area with a sharp cutoff caused by the gate post.
Also, it's dying at the same rate as the weeds on the pavement.

Telephone them and explain, nicely - they have untold millions
of people giving them ear-ache straight off. They will probably
be using a contractor, and are insured in any case. Say what's
happened, e-mail pics/get someone to come around for a look.
You're best off turfing for a quick fix. Select an appropriate
turf to blend in with existing.
