Beginning two days ago, my shower hot water supply does not get nearly
as hot as it used to. The sinks around the house seem be the same as
they always have (nice and hot), it's jsut the bathroom shower that
seems to have cooled down.


...

If it's a new development (as you say) and the other hot taps in the
same bath are still hot, it's not the supply to the branch point but
after -- therefore, it's almost certainly a failure in the metering
valve or, if it's a fairly new control, the automagic temperature/anti-
scald mechanism.


Actually, it could be a simple as a loose handle not turning the
control valve the full distance...
