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.

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'.
