Introduction
Bath stone is a defining feature of many historic and listed buildings across the South West of England. However, exposure to the elements over time can cause deterioration, requiring expert repair and restoration. At White Acre Stonemasonry, we specialise in Bath stone repair and stone cleaning, helping homeowners restore their properties to their former beauty while maintaining structural integrity.
Why Bath Stone Requires Expert Care
Bath stone is a high-quality limestone known for its warm, honey-coloured appearance. While beautiful, it is also porous and susceptible to weathering, pollution, and biological growth. If left untreated, damage can worsen, leading to costly structural issues. Ensuring professional stone repair and stone replacement is essential for preserving the integrity of your home.
Bath Stone Repair & Replacement Services

Bay Window Restoration
Bath stone bay windows are a stunning architectural feature but are particularly vulnerable to weather damage. Our bay window repair service includes structural assessments, repair, and replacement to maintain their aesthetic appeal and durability.
Chimney Repair & Restoration
Chimneys are especially exposed to wind, rain, and frost, which can accelerate wear and tear. We provide expert chimney repair services to ensure your chimney remains both functional and visually in keeping with your home’s character.
Specialist Stone Cleaning Methods
Over time, Bath stone accumulates dirt, algae, and pollution stains. Cleaning requires specialist techniques to avoid damage. At White Acre Stonemasonry, we offer two of the most effective cleaning methods:
ThermaTech Stone Cleaning
ThermaTech is a high-temperature steam-based system that gently removes dirt, algae, and carbon deposits from Bath stone surfaces. This eco-friendly method is ideal for delicate stonework, ensuring effective cleaning without damage.
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning is a gentle, low-pressure cleaning technique designed for fragile historic masonry. It works by maintaining a fine mist of water over the surface, gradually softening dirt and grime without harming the stone.
Both methods are highly effective for stone cleaning, preserving the beauty and integrity of Bath stone buildings.
