    I assume you mean minute circuit breaker (switch) instead of fuse (wire that you cut). It might be that your consumer unit is newer than your shower, i.e. your current consumer board is more sensitive than the one that was there when they installed the shower. In any case you need an electrician, either your consumer board is playing up (bad mojo) or your shower is dangerous (bad bad mojo).
