By area
The city centre has the biggest share of hair and beauty salons, solicitors and estate agents, around Milsom Street, Green Street, George Street and Queen Square. Weston has many of the barbers and dentists, spread along Chelsea Road, Newbridge Road and the High Street, and Oldfield Park has gyms plus barbers and salons on Moorland Road. Odd Down's Upper Bloomfield Road has salons, barbers and a martial arts academy, Larkhall has estate agents and beauty salons around London Road, and Widcombe and Combe Down add gyms, nurseries and vets. Most plumbers and electricians are home-based, many of them in Weston, Twerton, Odd Down and Larkhall, and come to you.
Before you book
Book ahead. Most salons, barbers and clinics take appointments online or by phone, and several take a deposit or charge for late cancellations, so read the terms on each listing. Check each listing for appointments and parking too: some dentists, vets and gyms away from the centre have parking, while some city-centre practices point you to nearby pay car parks. Where a listing says we could not read a website, call before you go.
Frequently asked questions about services in Bath
How do I find a good hairdresser in Bath?+
Start with the hair salons page, where every salon has a score from its public reviews, and read each listing for prices and booking terms. Cherry Blossom Hair Studios on Frome Road in Odd Down, Number Three on Saville Row and HUE Salon on Gloucester Street, which specialises in colour, are among the highest scoring. Some salons ask new colour clients for a skin test 48 hours before, so allow time.
Which dentists in Bath offer private care?+
Aquae Sulis Dental in Weston, Widcombe Dental, Bath Spa Dentistry and Green Park Dental all describe themselves as private practices, and several offer membership or payment plans for routine care. Chelsea Road Dental in Weston calls itself an NHS practice that also treats private patients, though its website says it is not taking new NHS patients. Ask each practice about new patient places and fees before you register.
Which vets in Bath have out-of-hours care?+
Bath Vet Hospital (Rosemary Lodge) on Wellsway has on-site out-of-hours emergency care, and Bath Veterinary Centre on Julian Road gives a separate out-of-hours number on its website. Group practices such as Bath Vets Station Road in Weston give their own out-of-hours number and clinic, so save your practice's number before you need it.
How do I find a plumber or electrician in Bath?+
Most plumbers, heating engineers and electricians listed here work from home and come to you, so their listings show the part of Bath they are based in rather than a street. Phil Lauder Boiler & Heating Care says it is Gas Safe registered and Soulcraft Electric says it is NICEIC registered, while Ace Energy has a branch and radiator showroom on London Road. Check each listing for the work it takes on and how to get a quote.
Which gyms and studios in Bath offer a trial?+
MARCHON Bath on Henry Street runs a 21-day trial with no contract, The Barre Fitness Studio offers a seven-day free trial with its monthly and annual memberships, and Gracie Barra Bath in Odd Down starts newcomers with a free trial class. Stanza Fitness on Trim Street offers a free intro session, and CrossFit Bath runs a Foundations course for beginners. Check each listing for current offers before you sign up.
