Try using the bathtub and smearing peanut butter all along the edges of the tub to distract her. I've seen this trick work many times. Associate treats with bath time so that she looks forward to the baths or at least does not mind them. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
