Sounds very much as though you have a blown fuse or Circuit breaker. You need to check. Otherwise it could be your switch.
Also your light should be on a seperate circuit to your shower. your shower is probably protected by a 30 amp fuse/circuit breaker, way to big for your light.
Lighting ccts should be protected by a 5 amp fuse or circuit breaker.

First check the fuse in the fuse box it should have it's own fuse probably 30amp or more,you will have to find it anyway if you need to change the switch.
