Ok.Lots of good advice here.As someone who does almost all my own servicing of mechanicals and enjoys the satisfaction of repairing things for short money,here is what I would do.First,as suggested many times above,I would check the mixing valve by doing what was posted above and see how different the temp is before and after the mixing valve.These valves are only about $100 or less and usually can be replace in 5 minutes if the same type is used.If the mixing valve seems ok I would check to see if the problem is just at the shower.If you still have hot water at your sinks then I would look at the mixing valvein your shower.Most shower valve controls have limiting cams under the handle that can be changed.It could have been set up too low to start with.If you find your shower starts hot and cools down quick then I would definately look at the coil.Pretty easy replacement when I did mine.
