Whether your home requires stone repair, stone cleaning, or complete stone replacement, our expert team is here to help you preserve the natural beauty and structural integrity of your property.
The Importance of Bath Stone in the South West
Bath Stone is a soft limestone that has been used for centuries to build the stunning architecture we see in Bath and surrounding areas. Its warm, honey-coloured appearance is beloved by homeowners and architects alike. However, due to its porous nature, Bath Stone is susceptible to weathering, pollution, and damage over time. This is where White Acre Stonemasonry steps in with our specialist services.
Bath Stone Restoration and Replacement
If your Bath Stone has suffered from cracks, erosion, or other forms of damage, it’s essential to address the issue as soon as possible. Left untreated, minor damage can quickly become a significant problem, leading to costly repairs in the future.

Our skilled craftsmen have years of experience working with Bath Stone, ensuring that repairs blend seamlessly with the existing material, maintaining the aesthetic appeal and structural integrity of your home.

Professional Stone Cleaning and Stone Restoration Services
Over time, Bath Stone can accumulate dirt, grime, and biological growths, which can dull its appearance and cause long-term damage. At White Acre Stonemasonry, we use advanced cleaning techniques to restore your stone to its original beauty without causing any harm to the material.
Our stone cleaning services include:
ThermaTech Cleaning
ThermaTech is a high-temperature, low-pressure steam cleaning system that effectively removes dirt, algae, moss, and other contaminants from Bath Stone. This method is gentle enough to preserve the integrity of the stone while being powerful enough to clean even the most stubborn stains. It's an environmentally friendly cleaning option that uses minimal water and no harsh chemicals, making it ideal for historic and sensitive buildings.
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning
For particularly delicate Bath Stone, we offer Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning. This technique involves a fine mist of water applied over an extended period to gently soften and remove dirt, pollution, and biological growths. It’s perfect for cleaning intricate details and carvings without causing any damage to the stone.
These methods are part of our commitment to using the best technology available to care for your Bath Stone. Whether you need a thorough cleaning or just a touch-up, our professional cleaning services will enhance the look of your property while protecting it for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Bath Stone needs repair?
Look for signs of cracks, crumbling, or discolouration in your stonework. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to contact a professional for an assessment. Even minor damage can escalate if not addressed promptly.
How often should Bath Stone be cleaned?
The frequency of cleaning depends on the location and exposure of your stonework. Typically, Bath Stone should be cleaned every 5-10 years, but more frequent cleaning may be necessary in areas with high pollution or biological growth.
What is the difference between ThermaTech and Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning?
ThermaTech uses high-temperature steam to clean stone, making it ideal for removing tough stains and biological growths. Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning, on the other hand, uses a gentle mist of water over time, which is better suited for very delicate or intricately carved stonework.
How long does a stone repair or replacement take?
The time required for stone repair or replacement depends on the extent of the damage and the specific needs of your project. After an initial assessment, we can provide a detailed timeline tailored to your situation.
