Its an mem. Just moved into a new house and the shower was wired into a 5 amp fuse with 15amp wire in it, but kept blowing the fuse wire. and have been told i need to replace it with the correct amp fuse and wire.

Sounds like a bit of bodging has been going on, one thing for sure you should not replace a fuse with anything bigger without ensuring the existing cable and arrangements are suitable for the additional load.
I think your best bet will be to get a qualified electrician in to take a look.

Many fuses are sized and can only safely accept a maximum size of fusewire.
What size is the shower?

Just had a look through the achives, and came up with these fuse boxes with ceramic fuses.
Does your fuse box look like any of these?
The first two are MEM, the third is made by 'falkes' (No I havn't either)
