    We have a stone, could be concrete, bird bath and today I noticed it is leaking. I cannot see a crack. Is there anything I can do to fix it? It's about eight years old.

        There are paints that work as a sealant - at least over here there are. They are used in cellars to stop leaks. Perhaps you can find one of these?

            Like Lori said you could use a sealant, I have used something similar called Ronseal damp seal before on my shed/toilet walls, inside and out, it's not brilliant but it stops it penetrating to some extent

                Thank you all very much for pointing me in the right direction. :blue thumb: I'll look into your suggestions and let you know how I get on.
