The correct fix is to replace the worn hub, of course this is quite expensive. If you're a serious/competition rider I guess you'd just go ahead and replace the hub or complete wheel. But if you're a serious/competition then you wouldn't be riding an old/worn bike like mine, you'd have a nice new bike, maybe a few years old at the most! 
However, I fixed the problem by using a centre punch to 'peen' the bearing housings and fitted the bearings using Loctite 660 bearing fit.
I'm really pleased with how it worked, even after putting plenty of hours on the bike, I still can't feel any play in the wheel.
Yes, it's a bit of a bodge, but why not try it?

I've used that method in the past. Definitely works.. and if it fails again, then move onto the more expensive options of having the hub machined and sleeved or sourcing a new wheel.
