I would start her on a pretty intense behavior modification/positive reinforcement training program to get her used to listening to you and learning to do what you say so that she learns to trust you. Once she trusts you, she won't be so scared that she has to try to bite you to get out of the bath experience and she will start to accept it as one other thing she's being taught how to do by you. You can read a lot about that training method here on YT in the library and online. When done properly, it can transform a regular, confused owner into a proper dog trainer and a little hellion into a well-behaved dog and it is all fun for both of you. It takes some patience and time and you being more persistent than she is but it is do-able.

Good luck.
