The property had multiple uses including retail, offices and residential on the second and third floors.
Two people were evacuated during the incident, which took place at 9pm on Tuesday, and there were no injuries.
Once the electrics were isolated, 24 firefighters in breathing apparatus used four high pressure hose reels and four water jets to tackle the fire.
Although the fire was contained in the basement there was heavy smoke throughout the building which required crews to use a ventilation fan.
The British Red Cross emergency response service attended the scene to give support to the residents.
Crews remained on scene throughout the night damping down.
Crews from Bath, Kingswood, Temple and Hicks Gate attended the incident.
