GIB REPAIR AUCKLAND
Damaged plasterboard can make an otherwise well-maintained room look unfinished. Whether it’s a hole left by a door handle, cracking around a joint or damage following plumbing work, careful repairs can restore the appearance of your walls and ceilings.
Our plastering services in Auckland cover everything from minor patching to replacing damaged sections of GIB when required. We prepare the affected area, reinforce joints and apply finishing compounds to create a smooth surface ready for painting.
We can also complete the painting once repairs are finished, helping you achieve a consistent appearance without arranging separate trades.

The finish level of your plasterboard can noticeably affect the appearance of painted walls and ceilings. Level 4 and Level 5 finishes serve different purposes, depending on the room, lighting and desired result.
Level 4 plastering is commonly used for standard residential interiors. Joints, fasteners and corners are stopped and finished to provide a suitable surface for many conventional paint systems under normal lighting conditions.
Level 5 plastering adds a skim coat or approved equivalent treatment across the entire plasterboard surface. This reduces visible differences between the board and joint compound, particularly under critical lighting or with certain paint finishes.
We’ll help you choose the appropriate level based on your lighting, paint selection and expectations.
