Aston now has full workshop facilities

The purpose built workshop at Aston Marina - near Stone on the Trent & Mersey - is now fully operational with experienced staff.  The workshop now offers a full engineering service, boat lift out, blacking and painting.

Aston's workshop and slipway are
located in the marina's southern basin

"We have invested around £350,000 in the workshop facility at Aston," says marina manager Alex Clayton.  "It has taken a little while to get to this fully operational stage as we needed to ensure other facilities were up and running smoothly first."

"Owners are understandably cautious about putting their boats in the hands of a painter with whom they are not familiar, but there are now several boats moored at Aston that have been painted here, and I think they provide an excellent advertisement for the quality of work we can offer," comments Alex.

The timing will be particularly helpful for syndicates with their shared ownership boats moored at Aston, as most are now deciding what they want done for their winter maintenance.  Painting slots have already been allocated for several of these boats, so any others need to reserve their slot promptly if winter works are not to curtail the cruising season.
