    Shower light cover

    Hi. Hopefully a simple one but does anyone know how I'd go about removing one of these covers from a light in a shower please? And also where I could possibly get a replacement? The cosmetic damage to it just bothers me a bit and I'm guessing they're probably cheap to replace. Cheers
