Yes itcould be a faulty element in the heating tank (there are two, three in most10kw showers) you can check them with a multi meter you should have a readingof around 12>18 ohms.
If you have power to the elementsand no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements thenit's probably a micro switch.

If you don’t have amultimeter we sell them at around £10 each with a link to an on line guideon how to use them for checking and testing the various parts of your shower.
Apart from helping to fix yourshower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply toappliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left inbatteries
(so you know if they are dud ornot) and lots of other jobs, in short they are well worth the £10.

Ifit is the element you will have to check whether you have the 9.5 or 10.8version
