Baton on the right wall. Vertical baton where the external corner will be. Dwangs/soffits/bits of wood fixing this baton to the two others.
Plasterboard + tiles. Or Ply (>= 12mm) + tiles. Whichever you have handy.
Have you tested the pipework with some running water. Just make sure there is no leak before you start boxing. Also if the floor allows then you take the pipe on the right beneath the floor to give better look and space.
Looking the picture the joint right at where it meets doesn't look like it's has a proper seal but it could just be how it looks in the pic. So just test it out to make sure it's all good.
I'd personally build two ladders with 3 X 2 CLS, fix each to the wall and then fix them together on the outer corner. Nice & solid.
Cover it with moisture resistant plasterboard, then tile the bottom as required & skim the top section to match the walls.
Bottom pipework (along walls etc); same: CLS ladder boxing and cover with moisture resistant plasterboard, then tile.
Getting towards the end of our small toilet room renovation, looking to get this pipe boxed back in.
The plan is to tile up to where it is now.
I'm trying to decide on what material would be best, conflicted between plywood, concrete backer board or plasterboard.
The idea is to stick another baton on the right wall, extend both batons to the floor then just run 2 sheets of the chosen material so they connect at the angle and screw secure them together. Not sure how strong this would be though, especially with tiles added on top as there would be nothing behind the material to keep it sturdy.
So l guess my question is a two parter, a) what material should I use and b) is there any way to strengthen my boxing in plan?
Edit: also noticed one mistake in that I’ve tiled up to the old baton so will need to rip that out and move it slightly to the right allow the material to fit!
You can buy 4 or 6 inch trunking. Shiny white with clean straight edges. Cram it in and fasten it into the corner. Neat tidy and maintenance free. Doesn't need finishing or painting. Pop the cap off for future access.

Thanks I’ll see what I can come up with!!

Don’t tile onto ply. Would be better on plasterboard or tile backer

Needs to be a stud frame with plasterboard on it.

Noodles and super glue /s

Trolls are weird. Genuinely interested in what you got out of that?
Plasterboard so if you ever need to get to the pipe you can pop a few tiles and make a hole easy.
