if your fusebox is that old you're probably due for a new one fairly soon, and possibly some rewiring depending on the age/state of the existing wiring.
So get a few consumer unit with other spare ways for your shower and future requirements. As the electrician would have to disconnect and reconnect the existing fuseboard if you had a new CU installed for the shower only, he'll have to check and test all the existing wiring on reconnection, so it's really little more work to have a complete new CU.
