You don't say if the power indicator on the shower comes on !
It may be on its own isolating switch which should be sited outside of the bathroom. Check if it is and is it switched on, is it fused and blown ?
It may also be on its own circuit from the main box, check if it is labeled there and is on (not tripped).
 
AFAIK, most electric showers need power as they have solenoid valves, so no power = no water, not even cold.

hi philo, if your shower and it's circuit comply with the regs then you should have a 30amp double pole pull switch located away from the shower or by a 30amp wall switch outside the room but also like bathjobby says check your consumer unit ( fuse box ) and see if it's on it's own fuse or breaker, sometimes there is a seperate 1 way box with a 40amp fuse or breaker and could be on a RCD unit check them all

good luck :D
