Answer 3

If it's a like-for like (same power rating in same place) of a previously existent shower, then it a "Minor Works"  certificate.

If the circuit (Fusing /wiring) is new as well as the shower, then its an "Electrical Installation" certificate.

Answer 4

If it is new work, then yes you should have a certificate for it.
