I think Herk hit it on the head. A bad mixing valve or cartridge near the shower could cause this. I recently had a +/- 40 year old 12 unit apartment building where about half of the faucets wouldn't get hot water. After a couple hours of investigating, I found about 20 older moen cartridges that were bad, allowing cold water to pass through into the hot lines. Rebuilt all of the faucets, and th e place worked good as new!
