However, recently the bulb went and ever since relacing the bulb,
touching it has no effect on it.


Is there anything that can be done or have I lost the touch facility
forever?


It's a form of dimmer, and dimmers often blow so they don't dim anymore
after a bulb has blown - the bulb shorts internally. It might be possible
to replace the diac and triac if they are seperate components - but it
might just be all one chip.
