newbie - shower question

[nobbynobby]

Hi there

I am about to attempt to fit a mixer shower into our bathroom. the wall i am going to run the pipes in is brick. I know i am going to have to cut two channels in the wall for the pipes.

My question is to i lag the pipes with anything??? when i have or haven't done that do i plaster over the pipes or cover them with plasterboard and then tile????

what would be the best/easist thing to do????

HI

make bigger channel use 22mm plastic pipe to prevent pipes from corrosion,etc then plaster lightly over it
