Isle of Wight RIB tube repairs

According to local folklore on the Isle of Wight there is a woman who does amazing repairs on tubes, I believe she's ex RNLI and known as rubber this or latex that. I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows who she is/contact details to do some extensive work on our RIB and all the clues point to a shop with beads over the doors with that name; so I'm after some more sensible solutions.

TIA

Sue’s her name 07582 145488 - she specialises in repairs, doubt she’ll take anything like a re-tube on, also try Adam at A P marine for repairs, he’s based in E Cowes, both really helpful people. For major work / re-tube i’d recommend kerion at ribshop located in the hamble 👍

Thank you so much! I believe that’s her, I’ll giver her a call on Monday and see what she recommends. Tops are threadbare. Bottom are fine; but the last ever time I’ll touch pvc tubes.
