I'm with Kevplumb. Plastic pipe has a large coefficient of thermal expansion. When you empty your bath the pipe gets longer (or shorter for cold water) and something has to move. The more water you put down the pipe the greater the effect. All it needs now is for some part of the pipework to be a tight fit in a hole. You might also have noticed this phenomenon with plastic guttering as the sun warms it up.
The gurgling is another problem. Since the basin waste joins a, presumably horizontal, soil pipe I would suspect a partial blockage at this point.
