If indeed it is 8mm that you have that is OK , but make sure it is and not 6mm,( although 6mm is rated at 45 amps).

For 9.5kW shower you will need to upgrade to a 10mm cable. I've never seen 8mm - you've probably got 6mm and this won't be big enough for the load. This sort of work should be done by a qualified electrician though. in compliance with part P of the building regs.

If you are yet to purchase the cable, then go for 10mm but 8mm is also quite fine. You need to take the advice of a local electrician after making him to insepect the entire setup...
All the best.

Yes renew in 10mm,as old cable is probably 6mm anyway.And fit a new breaker rated at 45amp and make it an rccbo breaker.

there is no such thing as 8mm cable but if you mean 6mm then no its no good for a 9.5 kw shower you need 10mm, but as this is now a notifiable job under the building regulations part P you should leave well alone

I'm in the US. I have never heard of a shower than needs electricity. Ours run on water pressure alone. What is this?

Hmm contained in the bathe With A digital camera... no longer one of those undesirable theory extremely. nicely, the fog is probable condensation gathering on the lens and l.c.d reveal screen from the nice and comfortable temperature water. to evade this, extremely of direction, try taking a chilly, luke-warmth bathe, yet warm-water will fog the lens.
