Could be the mains element burnt out. I have just renewed mine. [HI]They are not cheap[/HI].
Did you check the fuse?

Is the heating element only for electric use? I ask this as it works on the gas.
Completely clueless about this sort of thing (and many many others).

You havn't said what boiler it is, assuming its a truma ultrastore check what Gerry has pointed out, if you have just fired it up with no water in and it has overheated just switch it off at the mains and leave it for ten minutes and switch on again once you have the boiler full of water, if no joy after checking all of what has been said it will be the element, as for expensive as far as I can remember depending which element it is they are around £75, having said that as long as you can get to the boiler easy enough it is a pretty easy diy fix.
If it is a carver boiler then the white box on the end of the boiler where the wires enter there is normall a litle cover that swings out of the way and there is a red reset button behind it, have to say I've never had to change the element on a carver so can't tell you much more about them.
