Wintry weather conditions hindered both sides as they looked to attack in the first half, with the home side turning to Nick Macleod to kick them to a 9-3 lead at half time.
The visitors made a strong start to the second half, resulting in a try from Horatio Agulla, which put Bath one point ahead after Tom Heathcote added the conversion.
Try-scoring opportunities remained at a premium throughout the second period, until a bright spell from Sale saw Brady cross the try line inside the last 10 minutes.
Heathcote added a penalty late on, but the kick left the visitors a point behind their opponents.
The result moves Sale six points clear of bottom side London Welsh.
