    Jackhammer the floor and move plumbing, once in position refill hole and the new shower should cover repair to floor. A bit more prep is req but that is the way you have to do it, you don't mention if you are going to do it yourself or have plumber do it for you.
    Best of luck on the project, keep us informed on what you do.
