I have a shower that can't get beyond luke warm. Sink next to it gets plenty of hot water. I have sterling fixtures throughout and the house is about 15 years old. I changed out the mixing valve, but that didn't completely solve the problem. I can finally get medium warm water if I let it run for 5 minutes, and then, every once in a while full hot water comes through (not good if you're in the shower!). Attaching 2 pictures. Do I need to replace the mixing tank/fixture behind the valve, clean something out somehow, or something else? Trying to avoid the major plumbing bill if I can....
