You would need a macerator/pump system. Log onto saniflo.co.uk for details.

I agree with the ‘firebobb’s’ comment about a macerator – you need that to ‘push’ the water and waste up to ground floor sewer level. You would need a ’saniflo’ or similar that has connectors for the toilet and shower. However, if you install a power-shower you must check the ‘Saniflo’ can handle the volume of waste water. Anyway, cost for the ‘Saniflo’ about £250 plus the toilet etc. say £200 plus the shower (depends) say £300…. And it’s not difficult to do if you are good at DIY but certainly not for a ‘beginner’.

The WC can be installed by you as above but officially you are no longer allowed to install your own shower if it uses electricity unless you are a registered electrical domestic installer who can certify there work is safe or you contact building control and they send an inspector to check the work (for a hefty price) at the same time they would check to make sure the rest of the bathroom complies with our wireing regulations if it doesn’t they can get upset

You need to decide what kind of shower you want. A cold feed electric should be the simplest and most effective. It would need to have a switch outside the basement, or at least well away from the shower, and any lights in the basement would have to be pull-cord switched, or switched from outside the basement, like the bathroom.
