I have a Bristan mixer shower that keeps going cold, it goes cold for a minute or so and then comes back hot before going cold again. I have replaced the cartridge in the shower and also replaced the shower hose, there was a slight improvement for a week or so but it is now back to what it was like before. I have the same model shower over the bath and there are no problems with that so I assume the problem is with the shower itself. Any advice to help sort this out would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hot and cold pipes in the right way ?

Always done it or just started ?
 
This has only started over the last few months and slowly got worse. The shower is a number of years old and worked okay before, nothing done to the pipework so the hot and cold are in the right way round.
 
All other taps ok ?
 
I have the same shower over the bath in the same room and there are no problems with that.
How do I get to the non-return valves and filters to check them, do I have to take the cartridge out?

Thanks for your responses.
