How can I get from Gatwick to Heathrow by bus?

You do not state why you wish to travel by bus rather than train.
The main advantage of the bus is that you put your luggage on at one airport and take it off at the other so giving you minimal hassle. You need to bear in mind though that the traffic conditions round London, expecially between 0700 to 1000 and 1600 to 1900, can be difficult and the bus may take longer than advertised.
To add to @HankyPanky's answer there is another budget option. Take the Thameslink service from Gatwick, usually with destination Bedford, and change at King's Cross/St Pancras onto the Piccadilly line direct to Heathrow. The fare for the rail part is about GBP 11 which is much cheaper than the Gatwick Express. Bear in mind here though that the rush hour on the Piccadilly line will not be too pleasant with heavy luggage.
