Pull the glass off and stick a potato into the metal bits and twist. I promise you, this works.

a lot of mirrors (the mirror would not be over the just the sink, over the entire wall)

and bright, light colors (use a bright white for the walls, not an off white…but that is a pain to clean)

forget about the toilet, wasted space, when someone asks, just tell them they are crazy

If it will push in, gently push the bulb in and out a few times. This should loosen it sufficiently to allow you to turn it and remove it.

If that fails, the next stage involves removing the light fitting. Switch off at the fuse box before you start. If it’s a pendant dangling from a ceiling rose, open the rose and disconnect the wires (after making a note of where they connect!). If it’s a metal fitting attached to the ceiling, there’s a good chance of doing dangerous damage and it’s best to get an electrician in.

Once you’ve got the fitting down, put a tiny drop of oil on the metal part of the bulb and continue pushing it in and out. If that doesn’t work. wear a glove and give the bulb a good twist anticlockwise. The glass bit will come away and you can lever the metal bit out with a small screwdriver and pliers.

Turn the lighting circuit off at the fuseboard. Check it’s really off by trying to turn off all the other ceiling lights nearby. If none of them switch on, you’re safe. Get a pair of pliers with insulated handles (just in case!) and use these to remove the remaining metal section of the bulb. Chances are the fitting has developed a fault or warped, so it’s probably time to replace the lampholder – unless you are competent that’s probably a good job for an electrician or handyman. In the meantime, you can install a new bulb. Turn the power back on, and everything should be fine.
