Hi, Hoping someone can help me.
I live in Manchester, England and My shower has been leaking around the shower bowl. This caused the light underneith in the hall way to blow. Since fixing the leak I have changed the buld and checked the fuse box. The swith is still in live position but the light isn't working?
Do i need a new fuse?
Fuse wire?
Tried a second bulb, Still not working?
Can anyone help?

@zackpacker,
A possibility is the wiring behind the light fixture or the socket where the bulb screws in could have an open or is not making contact. I would change the fuse anyhow. If you checked it thoroughly for continuity be aware that sometimes a cracked fuse doesn't show up visibly.
Highly unlikely it's the wiring at the fuse socket. It's more likely to be the wiring to the light fixture. You might want to use a continuity-checker or a Volt-Ohmeter. If this sounds at all daunting or foreign to you, then why not hire an electrician and not waste more time or potentially give yourself an unwanted curly perm?
