Introduction to Bath Stone Repair & Restoration
Bath Stone is a stunning natural limestone, widely used in historic and period homes throughout the South West of England. However, exposure to weather, pollution, and general wear can cause damage over time. White Acre Stonemasonry specializes in Bath stone repair and stone cleaning, helping homeowners restore their properties to their former glory.
Why Bath Stone Needs Regular Maintenance
Due to its porous nature, Bath Stone is particularly susceptible to damage from moisture, biological growth, and air pollution. Without regular care, this can lead to crumbling, discoloration, and structural weaknesses. Whether you own a period home or a listed building, maintaining your stonework is essential to preserving both its beauty and integrity.

Bay Window Repairs
One of the most common problem areas in Bath Stone properties is bay windows. Over time, these beautiful architectural features can suffer from weathering and structural issues. We specialize in bay window repairs to restore their strength and aesthetic appeal.
Chimney Repairs
Chimneys are particularly exposed to the elements, making them prone to deterioration. Our chimney repair service ensures that your chimney remains safe and structurally sound while preserving the character of your property.
Specialist Stone Cleaning Services
To complement our restoration work, we offer professional stone cleaning services using advanced techniques:
ThermaTech Cleaning
ThermaTech is a high-temperature steam-based system designed to gently remove dirt, paint, and biological growth from stone surfaces without causing damage. This method is particularly effective for listed buildings, as it preserves the integrity of the stone while restoring its original appearance.
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning is a low-impact method that uses fine water misting to gradually clean the stone surface, reducing the risk of damage. This approach is ideal for delicate or historic stonework, ensuring thorough cleaning while maintaining the natural patina of Bath Stone.
The Importance of Professional Stone Replacement
In cases where Bath Stone is too damaged to repair, professional stone replacement is essential. At White Acre Stonemasonry, we source high-quality Bath Stone that seamlessly matches the original, ensuring a flawless restoration that blends with the existing structure.
Preserving Historic and Listed Buildings
