Have bought 10.5 kW shower.
Cable run 12 MTRS approx. Will upgrade to 10mm cable.
RCCB in CU is rated 40A, current shower connected to 32A MCB.

What needs upgraded in CU ?

10500 / 240 = 43.75A, You need a 45A MCB, and the RCD lacks adequate switching capacity, is this a split board? I would advise a B45 30ma RCBO on the non RCD side of the board. (if such an item is available for your board)

It is also worth noting that this work is notifiable to local building control
