OK, I will bite, what is a concrete shower? Inside, outside, application? Are you talking about a shower that is tiled, these are typically a concrete pan, and concrete board (or similar) walls with tile over top of the concrete board.
If you are talking about adding a walking type shower, there have been many threads on this subject, and there are many vendors that do this type of work. I do not have first hand experience so I cannot make recommendations.

You haven't received any replies because a concrete shower isn't really a type of shower. Some builders use fiberglass shower inserts because they're much cheaper and easier to install than tile showers. The other option is a tile shower, which is basically tile applied over a board product.

In the past installers, builders used green board, which was a drywall specially made for damp areas that was water resistant. Nowadays green board has been replaced by Durock backer board, which nick-name is cement board, which is probably what you heard, just say you want a tile shower or an artificial stone shower.

I'm planning on having a fiberglass shower removed in the very near future myself and replaced with a tile shower or two other products. After reading reviews and I've kind of narrowed it down to local companies who use newer products that are replacing tile, and I plan to call them.

One is Central Florida Kitchen and Bath in Summerfield and they use a product called Terra Stone

Remodeling Kitchen and Bathroom in Summerfield

The other is Jettastone of Wildwood, and that's the name of their product.
