Bath stone repair

Bath Stone is a defining feature of many homes across the South West of England, particularly in historic and listed buildings. Its distinctive warm, honey-coloured appearance gives properties a timeless elegance, but like any natural stone, it requires expert care and maintenance to preserve its beauty and structural integrity. At White Acre Stonemasonry, we specialise in Bath Stone repair and replacement, helping to restore your home’s charm while ensuring its long-term durability.


What is Bath Stone and Why Does It Need Repair?

Bath Stone is a type of limestone that has been quarried in and around the city of Bath for centuries. It has been used extensively in Georgian architecture and remains one of the most sought-after materials for building homes in the region. However, as a porous material, Bath Stone is susceptible to weathering, pollution, and general wear and tear, which can lead to crumbling, cracking, and surface deterioration over time.


Whether you're dealing with damaged stonework on your facade, eroding bay windows, or a deteriorating chimney, maintaining your Bath Stone is essential for both aesthetic and structural reasons. At White Acre Stonemasonry, we offer comprehensive repair and stone replacement services to keep your home looking its best.

Professional Stone Cleaning Services: ThermaTech and Nebulous Water Spray

Over time, Bath Stone can accumulate dirt, algae, and pollutants that dull its appearance and contribute to its decay. That's why we also offer specialist stone cleaning services to revitalise your stonework. We use the latest cleaning technologies, including ThermaTech and Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning, both of which are non-invasive methods that preserve the integrity of your stone while effectively removing grime.

  • ThermaTech Cleaning uses superheated water to gently clean the stone surface without causing any damage. It is an eco-friendly option that removes biological growth, dirt, and pollutants without the need for harsh chemicals.

  • Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning involves the use of a fine mist of water, which is particularly effective for removing surface dirt and pollutants from softer stones like Bath Stone. This method ensures that the stone remains intact during the cleaning process, making it ideal for historic and listed buildings.
