I used concrete patch that came in a little tub. I cannot recall the brand and couldn't find a link, but I did buy it at Home Depot. I just scrubbed the bath, let it dry in the sun, then used a putty knife to apply it. I used a damp rag to smooth it out, let it dry for a day. Viola! No leaky, ucky bird bath.1 marked as helpful Reply -

Spray paint is an easy fix. Use a wire brush to get rid of any debris, you can hand paint and seal with a clear spray paint, or just go with spray paint. Rustoleum gives good results.Helpful Reply -

Put newspaper in bottom, and pour bleach, to cover at least 1/3 of bird bath. Let it sit until Sunshine is over it, and give it 3 hours remove paper dump liquid in a safe place, blast hose on it to rinseHelpful Reply -

Just wash it out thoroughly with a natural bristle brush and some dawn dish soap. Rinse well, now you are back in business!Helpful Reply -
