Sounds like it's either the relay or thermal cut out. This shower comes in several different power ratings.
Firstly try cleaning the inlet filter, see page 17

The relay might be getting old

Replacement may be a more economical option.
For a new shower:
Look at the cable going into the shower, if it's 6mm2 only buy a shower rated up to 8kW. If it's 10 or 16mm2 you can buy a shower rated up to 10kW.
If you want to put a new shower in it must now be done by a part P qualified electrician. They will also check out that you have the correct protection at the consumer unit end. I'm only telling you what you can buy as a replacement. If your shower was not powerful enough before and you want one more than 8kW you will more than likely have to get the cable and protection circuits upgraded as well.
