    Thermostatic shower not getting hot enough

    Hi there could anyone help me to work out why a thermostatic mixer shower fed by mains cold and tank hot isn't getting as hot as it used to. I've tried turning the cold pressure down a bit but then the entire shower pressure is not great. Any ideas please? Thanks in advance
