Shower hot water problem.

Is the shower control a single-handle style? Could be a problem in the cartridge leaking cold into the hot side. Could also be a "scald-guard" type with a sticking mechanism. Neither problem involves knocking walls down...

Yes.

Could be a problem

Would these problem somehow "fix" themselves?

My cartrige had a stone in the hot water side. Remove valve or cartrige to see if there is any debris present

Thanks. Kind of like a kidney stone?

Probably a lot less painful!

It may be something as simple as replacing the washer to the hot water faucet.
