It could well be that when you have a bath that the Bathroom gets all steamy. If so the steam is causing a short circuit with you lights.
Can can stop this by having an extractor fan fitted to the bathroom and then about 15 minutes before taking the bath turn it on, or fit a heater into the bathroom which you turn on to heat the room. Otherwise open the window before you fill the bath.
If none of this stops your problem call out an electrician.

Sounds like a dodgy connection somewhere on the circuit. Turn the power off at the trip switch, start by checking the connections on the switch and work your way to the light fitting.

Maybe the switch on or near the door needs to be placed outside the bathroom I had this problem because the bathroom was damp from washing showering etc. Once the switch was changed to outside the room there was no more trouble

Wet terminals are creating a short-circuit. Therefore they need to be dried..
I have done this quiet recently, with a hair drier. However, you do need to isolate the light from the electricity supply.

check that all the connections in the switch and the light fitting are tight, and that there is no moisture in the fitting! also have you had any work done recently that might have damaged any of the cables?

It's called a short circuit. Not good. Get professional help or be certain your homeowners is up to date.
