Maybe the fact you couldn't get a Chint breaker locally has answered the question why the correct MCB wasn't installed in the first place? The previous electrician could just have been told to go and run the circuit in, then found that the client had the shower ready to go and wanted it running, so had to fit the biggest breaker he had in his van and make it work?
