Alterations in Bath
Bath’s Georgian streets host weddings, formal dinners and a race season on Lansdown, high above the city. It is a place where clothes are noticed.
We alter suits, dinner jackets, shirts and overcoats at your address, including older pieces that need a light hand.
Fittings can be at home or in a hotel. Bristol, a short drive away, is one of our express cities; in Bath, standard turnaround applies unless we confirm otherwise when you book.
