Why is it feminine?
Banheira is feminine because it derives from the Latin "balneum" (bath), which became "banho" in Portuguese, and the diminutive/agent suffix "-eira" (originally from Latin "-aria") naturally produces feminine nouns in Portuguese. The suffix "-eira" itself is feminine, so any noun formed with it inherits that gender.
