Rather than install a standard large shaver socket in the tiled

Zone three no longer exists - it was removed with the introduction
of the 17th edition. Sockets are permitted in bathrooms now so long
as they are 3m from the end of zone 2 (so only large bathrooms need
apply!)

As far as I can see this does not fall foul of the regs - am I
correct?

depends on how far away the cupboard is, and whether you need a
tool to open in.

The cupboard is part of a run of fitted furniture (tool not required
to open it) and will be within 3 metres of the edge of the bath,
however, I had thought of using a switched connection unit rather than
a socket and hardwiring the contactless shaver charger to it.

This would not be new wiring, just picking up that to the existing,
now redundant, shavolite.

Why not just put a shaver socket in the cupboard?
