Bath, like the rest of Britain, uses standard British plugs with three rectangular prongs, known to a few as BS 1363.

If you've heard somewhere about Britain having different plugs in Bath, you (or whoever told you that) may have misheard: Britain uses different plugs in bathrooms. British electrical safety regulations are very tight, and normal outlets are not allowed anywhere near water. In a bathroom, you can only put BS 4573 shaver sockets. These sockets accept European, Australian, and sometimes (if a transformer for 115V is included) US plugs.

Electric razors and toothbrushes (but not hairdryers) sold in the UK have European two-pronged plugs. They fit in British shaver outlets and in European outlets, but not in the other outlets in a British house.
