Notes to answerer
Asker: Pense en "bidet" pero el hecho de que mencione que dos de ellos tienen bañeras y luego hablen de "ducha y pileta" me indica que la pileta es un elemento de naturaleza similar a la de la bañera. ¿Existe alguna diferencia real entre bathtub y tub? Ya mencionan las bañeras en otros de los dos baños. Lo siento....no imagenes...

  -> Gracias, Yaotl! Aunque ahora me surge la duda de las "bañeras" que mencionan antes... ¿Será que quieren decir "bidet" para la opción que genera dudas?

shower stall


Explanation:
The 'banera' seems to be the 'tub/bathtub' in this case. 'Showerstall' would be the logical counterpoint, with a 'shower head/overhead spray nozzle'.

basin/wash basin/sink


Explanation:
Sorry this is so long, but it seemed helpful to me.
"Bathroom with sink and shower" - 566,000 hits on Google.
"Bathroom with basin and shower" - 185,000 hits.
"Bathroom with wash basin and shower" - 144,000 hits.

“Lavamanos con meseta” would be either “wash basin with counter” or “sink with counter” – to avoid repeating basin, you could translate it as the latter.
