Ok, so I was moving furniture and dropped a chair on a plug socket, managed to crack the thing in such a way that the face plate broke around the screws.
So, is this fixable by someone with no knowledge of the working of an plug socket? Can I just waltz up to B&Q and buy a new face plate, re wire it the same way as the broken one and bobs your uncle?
Am I likely to kill myself in the process?
I've so far avoided touching it because electricity scares me but I can cut the power from the breakers in my house, is this enough to make it safe or will touching a wire even then turn me into a small peice of charcoal?
