'Ello.
Any chance of a 'pic' of your existing fuseboard, tails, service head etc ?
It would be a lot easier to advise.
You should have RCD protection on your shower in my opinion.
10 mm is your cable, on a 40amp mcb. (not possible with your existing fuseboard, maybe another enclosure is needed ? )

PS Make sure you get your supplementary equip bonding in as you go when re-fitting your bathroom

Dare I mention Part 'P' ??
Cheers

my incoming supply says pme on it does this help do i need to change my concumer unit please help

Most shower manufacturers insist on RCD protection, so I would suggest getting an electrician in to fit a separate consumer unit with RCD and 40A MCB.

Get 10mm² cable fitted for the shower, you might also find that the main earthing plus supplementary/main bonding conductors need upgrading while he is there.

Yes you can run the cable in YT4 trunking, and yes it has been suggested that you fit a new consumer unit with RCD protection to supply the shower.
