The easy answer would be to say that you need a new thermostatic cartridge, however...........

 

First check this, see if you can get hold of the hot supply pipe before it enters the shower or perhaps as it leaves the boiler.

 

If when holding this pipe the temperature fluctuates or goes cool then the problem is not with the shower but more likely with the boiler as the shower can only deliver what the boiler sends to it.        #

 

Disregard the temperature at the taps as they have a different flow rate.

The fact that you have said that you have fitted  a pressure reducing valve suggests that you have had unequal pressures can you let me know what pressures you have /had?

 

Is your pressure reducing valve something like this?
