Well I guess get a really REALLY early start on the train to Bath! Actually I'd go to Stonehenge first as it is a solo single sight - Bath is the type of city you could spend days in - if you go there first you will feel rushed just to get over to Stonehenge - at Stonehenge everyone feels rushed! (It's main negative - too many other tourists there kind of ruins the solemnity of the place - but if you go really really early you may have the place more to yourself.
Then mosey over to Bath and stay until early evening.

I found this tour: http://www.premiumtours.co.uk/tours/...014.id288.html.
I have not taken this tour so can't vouch for it one way or the other. This one takes you inside the stones of Stonehenge which most visitors do not get to do. I am sure there are other similar tours offered by other companies as well.
We did arrange for an after hours access tour of Stonehenge which we really enjoyed but rented a car and drove there ourselves. My family and I loved the experience but this would make for a very late day for you.

Are you ending your trip in London - if so considering cancelling the last two nights of your London hotel and stay in Bath one night and then go via Salisbury and Stonehenge and then end up near Heathrow Airport for your final night - you can take trains from Salisbury I believe to Fletham from which air buses go to many airport periphery hotels.
Just a thot.
