    Sounds like you have debris blocking the inlet ports of the valves cartridge. This is an easy fix that that now require replacing the valve.
    Turn the water off to the showers and open up the valve. Remove the cartridge and checking clean the inlet ports. Before you reassemble, turn the water on for a few seconds to flush out the supplies. Reassemble and test. Good luck, Tom
