We had this problem recently. It was clogged. My husband opened up the sponga hole and cleaned it out and poured some drain unclogging stuff (a lot) down the hole and down the bathtub drain. He also opened up the bathtub drain and cleaned It out. Since then we haven't had any problems.

We were told that ours does this because the pipes cannot handle the pressure of the water in the bathtub. Old pipes...
Try the above suggestions, or you can do what we do - only let the drain open half way (or less). It drains slowly but doesn't flood the bathroom.
We were told that its not fixable...

Not necessarily old pipes - can also be pipes that just aren't wide enough to handle the rush of a large volume of water all at once. We have that in our house in one of the bathrooms and the pipes were brand new when we moved in. Your solution is what we do too on the (thankfully) rare occasion that the bathtub is used in that bathroom.
