Dimmer switch cover plate missing?How to fit a new one?

Ive moved into a new house and have noticed the top cover plate from a dimmer switch is missing. All is left is a white plastic plate with a black stick to turn that turns the light on and off. Do i need to buy a new white plastic cover plate or can i upgrade with a chrome or steel plate? Is it easy to convert my old bedroom switch (non dimmer) to a dimmer switch or would i need an electrician?

The advice above is good. However in the long run you are going to have to get rid of your dimmer switches. The EC are determined that we should all use long life bulbs. At the moment there are none that can safely be used with dimmers.
