How old is the house? Not sure what a 'cottage home' is, and I do not understand removing the shower, unless this is one piece fiberglass type shower. If that is the case, it sounds like there may have been an installation problem with the shower possibly flexing more than the plumbing could tolerate. I would call home warranty, this MIGHT be considered structural and covered, in any case they may be able to provide additional info.
Good luck with your project.
