Shower not getting hot.

I've got a non electric shower over the bath, it's only used when I have visitors, I'm a bath person! It has started to only run luke warm. Nothing has changed plumbing wise. I've cleaned the shower head. There are two knobs, one to turn the water on and control the flow the other should change the temperature. Both knobs turn. Water is heated by a condensing boiler. Any ideas?

    It's a separate supply to the bath taps. It's not a power shower.

    Check the thermostatic cartridge. Whilst you have it out check the inlet filters as well. It could be that the hot filter is blocked by scale and all sorts of other carp.
