circuit breaker tripping for no apparent reason

I am not sure if this is a problem or not, so I thought I would inquire here before I had it investigated in person. I had my hardwood floors refinished this week, and the first day called for the use of a floor sander which required a 220 outlet. They plugged into my electric range outlet and everything seemed fine until after they left and I discovered the breaker for the bathroom had tripped. 2nd day they used a buffer and plugged it into my 110 outlet for the TV. no problem. 3rd day they used the buffer and the tv outlet again, and the bathroom breaker tripped again.The tv outlet and the range outlet are on two separate breakers and do not share a breaker with the bathroom. Would it be possible for usage on these 2 breakers to cause a problem on a third breaker, or is this just a coincidence and there is a potential problem with the third breaker? I have had no construction work done lately so new nails to pierce any wires. Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!
