No not if your not changing/upgrading wiring.
8.5 kw is an electric shower only not power shower.

I could be wrong, but I thought a bathroom was a special (?) location, an therefore ANY elec work is controlled?

It is but it's not having a rewire, new circuit, or additions to existing circuit it's only a like for like replacement so not notifiable work.
