Hi - I bought 2 x 6" waterproof speakers for my en suite bathroom, which I want to connect to my PC (which is in my bedroom).
Getting the cabling done is fine, but I assume that I'll need a small amp (or similar) to power the speakers - my plan is to basically plug them into my PC stereo output so I can rock out in the shower, etc. Can anyone recommend a way of powering them?

You probably don't need something that powerful for a bathroom - anything in the 20W range would probably even be too much, you can usually pick up a small amp like that on eBay no problem.

Are you sure that the ceiling speakers are normal low-impedance speakers, make sure they're not 100V speakers (these ones will have a small transformer mounted on them). 100V speakers need a slightly different type of amplifier to power them.
