Hi,
we have just changed our shower to a mixer shower. To do this we had to cut a channel, about 6 inches wide, for the hot and cold water supply to reacg the shower, plus the shower water outlet.
The pipes are practically flush with the surrounding wall, but we want to tile te bathroom.
I was wondering if I needed to use a filler/plaster to cover te pipes before tiling over them? A freind has suggested some plasterboard tape. overthe pipes and filler for the gap between, but I just wanted to check what the correct thing to do is, as I wasn't sure if I could just use tile adhesive over pipes.

Many thanks
