Hmmm. Could be a UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) which means you should take your cat to the vet immediately. For whatever reason cats like peeing/pooing on cold surfaces when they have a UTI because it soothes the pain. Get your cat looked at immediately.
Seirously.

Health issues aside you need at least two cat boxes and males especially seem to like one to pee in and another one to poop in so get a total of three to be on the safe side. They don't have to all be in the same place either. If the kitten is being a nuisance when the older cat is trying to use the box that can lead to toilet issues too so take the cover off the box for a while so the kitten doesn't hide and pounce at those private times.

Some cats really like pooping in the tub, it's been speculated that it's a holdover from their life in the wild if they defecated over water (while standing on horizontal branches) to hide their poop.
At least it's an easy clean up. A friend's cat does this all the time, she just accepts it and keeps kleenex next to the tub.
