A lot depends on how big the sand bath is & how much it gets used, I scoop pee out of mine when needed but I've never actually had one get smelly & don't completely clean them or change all the sand that often but if yours is smelly then it's definitely time to clean it out!
How long has it been in the cage now? Maybe use that as a guide & change it after a slightly shorter time on a regular basis to stop any smell building up.
