Toddler refuses bath

Hi, hoping you can help.
about 3 months ago my daughter got in a bath slightly too warm (not burn level but hotter than she would like) she’s refused baths ever since. We managed to get her to stand in it and splash her but we can’t wash her properly without tears and screaming. She won’t shower either. We’ve tried making them fun, adding toys, changing the language, getting in ourselves. She was sick last night and her hair is full of vomit which we desperately need to wash… anyone had anything similar in terms of bath resistance?

Put her in an empty bath and fill it around her, obviously continuous swirling the water so there are no hot spots.

Put some soft play style balls in there s the water is hidden, wash hair with a jug.

When she's better take her swimming and then make her shower afterwards 'because those are the rules' doing it out of the house will be better.

When she's better visit a family member and give her a bath there, the novelty should help.
