Can I break into 60mm twin & earth cable to move my shower pull-switch by 2 
feet? I've done it succesfully with socket and lighting  circuits and used 
junction blocks or boxes, but the shower carries potentially 35 amps and I 
can't find a 35(or more)amp juction box. TIA. Dave

Not very good practice. Why not just replace 6mm cable from pull switch to
shower.

The problem is, the cable coming INTO the switch from the CU will not reach 
to my proposed new switch position.
p.s. well spotted for realising I meant 6mm not 60mm.

Sorry.

Use a 'service connection block ' These take up to 100amps and are used to
join the tails between the consumer unit and meter. Don't forget to join the
earth conductor,these things are only double pole.
Can be found in Screwfix for around 7.00

Or use

It looks ideal.

Thanks bob and ARW, I think you may have solved it.
