Hot water in shower problem

Hey guys I'm just wondering. I have this problem in that all the faucets and showers in the house works fine and gets hot water, except for one shower. When we turn on the water it just comes out luke warm, I am just curious as to what possibilities could be causing this problem, and what I might need to do to fix it. Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance

Do you know the make and model of the faucet? I will assume it is a single handled unit, unless you tell me differant.

Not sure of what type you have, but I know some of the newer shower faucets have a anti-scald adjustment in them. Here is a site for a Delta, look at the last pages where it describes how to set it. You could just have some gunk in the faucet or the valve could be defective. But this should help some:
