Have you the space in your consumer unit ?
If so, turn off the mains, connect neutral(black) to the neutral block. Connect Earth (bare) to the earth block after sheathing it in yellow/green sleeve.
Now the fun bit, the most powerful 'draw' should go next to the mains isolating switch/rcd and the smallest (i.e. lighting, 5amp) furthest away. This means you are going to have to move all your other mcb's along one space on the busbar to accomodate your new shower mcb.
Hope thats clearer than mud !!
 
scoby_beasley is right, but since you ask what size is the shower and what size is the cable?

The shower needs to be protected by an rcd, whether it's heated or just has a pump.
