They're going to patch it up but have warned that that new screed needs a week of drying before they can tile over it. I'd get it if it were a whole new floor, but a 1.5m sq patch? Is that a thing?
Yes, as has already been mentioned, it's the depth not the area which is important. I can't remember the recommended drying rates, but it's mms per day. And laying any floor coverings before it's properly dry is a bad thing.

Quick q: we're having the unused downstairs shower room taken out to make a more usable utility room. When they took up the shower tray the concrete floor came with it leaving a hole about... well about the size of a shower tray. maybe 1.5m sq?

PS i realise that referring to "an unused downstairs shower room" could lead directly to the golf club thread but it's nothing to brag about. The house had previously been converted into two flats, then recombined but they left the downstairs shower room they'd built into a shonky blockwork extension off the basement kitchen. We've lived here 5 years now and no-one has ever used the shower which just gets piled up with laundry, pushchairs and other junk that won't fit under the stairs.
