Not if it's 9.5kW you can't.
sorry lads think i may be a bit mistaken there the towel heater in my other bathroom says 900 watts on it i imagine this one will be the same ,the old blow heater was mounted about 6 foot high can i just lower the connecting box its fused ,or does it need to go outside the bathroom
 
What is the distance horizontally from the nearest edge of the bath or shower to the proposed new location of the spur?
 
You will be fine at 1.5m away from the bath.

Does the spur have a switch on it?
 
What condition is the cable, is it suitable and safe to use.
Where is this circuit coming form, where is it fed from?
looks like its fed through the skt ring main cct
So should not be any overload concerns then.
Sound providing you keep within permitted safe zone with route of cable, you should be okay. Remember RCD protection.
