To me and other competent electricians its no worries to change the mbc and acess the cable routing, locating double pole switched isolation as well as ensure the circuit is safe to use before energized. i.e. test and inspection carried out to ensure it is safe to use and all functional devices...

you can replace it with 7.3Kw shower as you have a 32A mcb. however, you can replace the 32a mcb with a 40A and will be able to run 9.2Kw. Thats assuming it is 10mm cable feeding it. Depending on the cable run length you could put a 45A mcb in and run 10.3Kw. This circuit should also be...
