When filling a Roman shower, how long does the concrete take to cure?

We plan on having our 13" deep Roman shower filled, so that it is level with the rest of the bathroom floor. Then we will put a bathtub on top of it. Question: approximately how long should that concrete take to cure?

Thank you in advance for all your help!

Kind regards,

Jackie

@User Thank you for your response! I don't know the method yet, but I was surprised when talking to one contractor and he said the next day you can put a bathtub on the new concrete that was poured in the roman shower. I just wanted to ask on Houzz to get a ball park so I know to hire someone that knows what they are talking about. StarCraft Custom Builders above wrote 3-7 days. Do you think that sounds about right depending on the method, etc, or could it be longer? It's great to get a second opinion. I really appreciate it. Thank you in advance for your response.
