Am i right in thinking that a 10.8kw shower should be wired
with 10mm T&E and protected by a 45A mcb. Clipped direct
with a run of about 10m

45A is right on the limit for 10.8Kw @ 240V. You'll be better off with a 50A MCB, but this depends on your CU capabilities/capacity.
Also you need to ensure there is no thermal insulation along the cable run and no high ambient temperature otherwise the calcs will need confirming.
RCD also recommended !
 
check the house supply fuse is large enough. some are only 60A
