    Hi Helen...

    Is this a new development or has it always been warm water at the shower and hot water at the sink?

    If it has always been warm at the shower and hot at the sink then your shower valve probably has a temperature limiting device that can be adjusted to increase temperature. If not, then the hot water side of the valve or cartridge is clogged and will need to be replaced or cleared... ;)

    Let me know the name brand of shower valve... see what we can come up with.
