Hello all, As may be seen in the attached picture, the shower pipes are fitted in a chased hollow in the blockwork. What I would like guidance / advice on is if is okay for me to simply cement over the pipes flush to the vertical wall and then tile over in due course. Looking forward to any / all feedback. Thanks.

yes it should be fine to plaster over the pipes but just fit lagging to all the exposed pipes.

Difficult to see the depth to which the pipe are fitted into the wall but you will need to cover the insulated pipes before plastering. nail on metallic lathing or something similar prior to plastering.
