Most likely cause & what to check
Check whether hot water is available from other taps — if all hot water is out, see the No Hot Water category.
For thermostatic mixer showers: check the temperature limit stop on the valve — a plastic disc inside the handle that can be adjusted.
For electric showers: check the consumer unit for a tripped circuit breaker. Also check the shower's own reset button.
If the mixer shower cartridge is worn, it may not be mixing correctly — replacement cartridges are widely available.
