If the water is absolutely cold then you may have a faulty Thermal Cut Out

A faulty TCO will have no continuity across the two terminals (The black thing on top of the heating tank)

Therefore a good TCO will have power at both connections and a faulty TCO will have power at only one.

(The function of the TCO is, if the water over heats it cuts the power off to the elements)

If there is some heat from the shower you could have a faulty Outlet TCO, or a faulty element.

Examine the connections closely if you see any discoloration / signs of overheating then the TCO needs replaced.

 

Itmay be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three inmost 10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should havea reading of around 12>18 ohms.

If you have power to the elements and no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements then it's probably a micro switch.

Ifyou don’t have a multimeter we sell them at £10 each with a guide onhow to use them for checking and testing the various parts of yourshower.

Apartfrom helping to fix your shower, they are really useful for checkingyou have a power supply to appliances, for checking fuses, letting youknow much power you have left in batteries

(so you know if they are dud or not) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the £10.

If these prove to be ok then I would suspect the PCB.
