Yes, a picture is required of the item that trips please, this way we can advise you. If the electrician didnt check properly in the first place then perhaps a new one should be instructed, get one from reccomendation if possible.

It is like pulling teeth...
OK you have two items in the picture. which one trips, the big one with the test button on it or the one next to it??
The picture doesnt show what is writen on the item that trips. Again, what is written on it???

There is nothing written on the blue switch. On the front of the switch next to it, where the test switch is, it says 63 mA.

I'll up that. £10 says that it does not say 63 mA. 
Do come and collect the £10 if I'm wrong though.
Can't help Anne uless we get told what we ask for. I'm going to do a Dragon's Den - I'm out!

Thanks for that. Will need to check out the rest of the information. Fuse box difficult to read as in awkward position. Will get back.
Shower engineer said that it is a 40 amp fuse.
Hi, i'm back,
O.K: The blue switch on the right is the switch that keeps tripping. This is the main switch and does not have anything written on it.
The middle switch, is the test switch and on it is written: 63 Amp, 230 V, 0.03 Amp, IEC61008.
On the black switch, on the left, is written: 6508 W, B50, 230/400 V, BSEN60898.
Hope this makes things clearer.

If that keeps tripping then you need a tidy spark with some test instruments to test the circuit cables, if the cables have acceptable readings then it is back to the shower company.
Be carefull with that cover off, or better still, put it back, there will be connections in there that may well always be live and have no way of turning them off, also the fuse protecting them will not protect you.

There is no 'middle switch'. That is one unit.
