Hello @ELI5 

Thanks for sharing your question about your fascia. In this particular instance, I suggest engaging the services of a tradesperson or builder. They will do an Indepth investigation on how far the rot has travelled into the fascia. If it has affected the entire piece or more than 3/4 of its surface, it would be better to replace it than trying to repair it. 

In regards to covering it, Colorbond is also a good option. If the Colorbond fascia is properly mounted and does not leak or bridge water over to the other timber surfaces, it should provide a long service life. Depending on your budget, I propose getting a quote from your builder on how much it will cost to wrap the fascia in Colorbond.

Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
