But with their first attack on nine minutes, Bath opened the scoring when Josh Low's cross from the right was turned in by Tom Nicholls.
After Kington was just off-target with a free kick, Bath struck again on 12 minutes, Charlie Griffin heading in Low's corner kick.
Weston responded and McClaggon had a header beaten out, while Ross Stearn had a shot blocked on the line.
On 36 minutes, Weston were awarded a penalty when Jamie Price was brought down and Stearn scored his third goal in two games from the penalty spot.
Minutes later Mellor made a superb double save to first deny Stearn and then McClaggon from the rebound.
