"...... The rain is back. Surely cracks drain better than cracks filled with
sand. Try filling the bath plug hole with sand ...."

Quite right martin..........

BUT

The bath doesn't expand when it has a prolonged wetting, given a really good
soak the soil will expand and close the cracks, then the next question we
will have to answer is
"My lawn is laid on clay and with all this heavy rain the water doesn't
drain away, what can I do to improve the drainage? "
