There are several possible causes to this problem, but that one is the most common.
Turn down the temperature of your water heater.
But that reduces the maximum length of your shower.
And saves both energy and water.
Because it is hard to make a cheap valve that has a wide mixing 'sweet spot'.
Rich people showers don't have this problem
The cartridge is likely bad. They get clogged up with lime scale over time and start to perform worse and worse. Either replace the cartridge or the whole faucet itself.
You should just move to a more tropical area. Where I live, I only ever use the "Cold" tap and sometimes, even that is too warm.
That's how it is for me in the summer, and Jersey ain't exactly tropical. But it's kinda nice being able to just turn on the shower and get in. The cold water is likecold in the summers, and it's usually humid, so a shower with no hot water ends up very refreshing.
I could've sworn there was a Seinfeld bit about the shower temperatures being sensitive when you adjust the tap but I can't find it now
...yes, that used to be a thing before thermostatic valves were commonplace...
Yeah I really thought the bit would come up easily. I can hear his voice saying something like "a million degrees" or "hotter than the surface of the sun". It probably also started with the classic "what's the deal with..." that he used.
Probably American build.
Yep, if China had products at this quality and price point muricans would never shut up.
