Would this show, internally?

Your original post said "no power to shower" but how do you know this? Did you take the cover off and check the incoming mains with a meter? If there is power there, then further investigation could take place. Turn the heat input selector switch to one of the settings and press START. What happens? If nothing, try one of the other positions. Press START, what happens. If nothing, then suspect start button or internals of switch. This investigation should take place with the shower isolated at fuse board.

If you don't feel confident or are not competent, time to call a spark.

On pressing the start button with the dials in any position, nothing happens.

^^^ OK, it's time to investigate with a multi-meter or call a spark.
