What makes us a winning partnership?

WHAT MAKES US A WINNER?

The judges in the BIA 2020 praised our adaptability and professionalism throughout the year and our strong commitment to helping our clients become more sustainable in their efforts to save landfill wastage in the management of their claims.

WHY DO WE DESERVE TO WIN?

As the UK’s leading surface repair specialist within the insurance industry, Plastic Surgeon work with insurers focusing on restoring surface damage claims rather than offering an automatic replacement as a solution.

The benefits of this service are numerous: it is far less intrusive, saving both costs and time as well as improving sustainability by reducing landfill and material wastes. We continue to educate customers and the industry on the endless benefits of restoration over replacement and its positive impact on the environment

WHAT ARE THE MAIN ISSUES THAT PLASTIC SURGEON FACE IN THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY?

The industry continues to be under increasing strain, facing rising costs, the pressure to reduce cycle times and improve the customer journey and, as claims become increasingly complex, this pressure is exuberated further.

Plastic Surgeon identified that there was a real opportunity to change the way that insurers approach claims. A replacement first approach to handling claims was the industry standard so we have invested time in raising awareness about a restoration first approach to the management of claims.

Our approach can greatly reduce the claim life cycle and the overall claim cost – and as claim lifecycles are the largest impact on customer satisfaction ratings – greatly increase customer satisfaction, whilst offering impactful sustainability credentials.

Lauren Robson, our Insurance Services Account Manager was delighted by the win;

“The success of Plastic Surgeon really is a team effort and there are many people who work hard to ensure that we carry out a professional service, worthy of this award.
It gives us the opportunity to highlight the services that we offer and make claims handlers aware of the extent of our capabilities.
From small jobs to a cracked tile right up to complete kitchen reworks following extensive flood damage, the skills of Plastic Surgeon finishers using the very latest technology means that we can repair over 80% of surface damage repairs, taking items back to their original condition without the need for disruption and the costs associated with replacement.
Amongst the benefits to both insurers and the claimants are the reduced claim lifecycle, the minimal disruption and the speed at which repairs can be made, often with just one quick visit by one of our team, vital during these difficult times when homeowners are wary of visitors entering their property”
