Good article here in the Seattle Times about the repair technique:

Boeing readies patch for fire-damaged 787 | Business & Technology | The Seattle Times

Apparently it's scheduled to take 5 weeks, and will be followed by flight tests of the aircraft while fitted with strain gauges before the repair can finally be signed off.

ET expect to have the aircraft back in service in about two months' time.
