James from Ginges Plastering Services is your local Tauranga plastering expert, specialising in top-quality interior plastering for homes across the Bay of Plenty.
At Ginges Plastering, I keep things simple from start to finish. Whether it’s a new build or a renovation, I make sure to tailor to your needs, keep tidy work, and ready for paint without the stress. Straightforward service, top-quality workmanship, and work that keeps trades ahead of me and my clients satisfied.
Every job gets the same level of care and attention to detail. I take pride in my finish, industry standard approved materials using full Winstones Gib system and proven techniques to make sure your walls stay solid for years to come. You’ll see the difference from the first coat to the final result.
I turn up when I say I will, keep you in the loop, and finish on time. You’ll never be left guessing what’s next. It’s straightforward communication and reliable service every step of the way, with results you can count on.
With over 10 years in the trade, I’ve worked on everything from small renovations and group-housing to high end architectural detailed new builds across Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty. With a passion for my craft i look at my work constantly striving to do things better then last time never going backwards only forwards.
I take pride in doing the job properly — no shortcuts, no cutting corners. Most of my work comes from word of mouth, and that says a lot. Whether it’s a new home or a tidy-up, you can count on a professional finish and service that’s honest, reliable, and local.
From small touch-ups to full wall finishes.
Every job gets the same care.
Smooth, seamless walls start with expert GIB stopping. I handle everything from new homes and extensions to full renovations, preparing every surface to the highest standard. Whether you need a Level 4 or Level 5 finish, I follow the right steps to make sure your walls are perfectly smooth and ready for paint.
My focus is on precision. Every joint, corner, and edge is finished cleanly, leaving you with a strong foundation for your interior decorating. You can count on consistent results, done properly the first time.
If your walls are showing signs of wear or old textures, skim coating is the best way to bring them back to life. I apply a fine, even skim coat or two across the entire surface to smooth out imperfections, patch repairs, or outdated finishes. It’s a great option for anyone wanting to refresh older homes or prepare for a new colour scheme.
I take the time to get each section just right, giving you beautifully even walls with a modern, professional look. Once painted, you’ll never see the difference between old and new, just a clean, consistent surface throughout.
Cracks, dents, or water damage can make even a freshly painted room look tired. I specialise in all types of plaster repair, from small patch-ups to larger wall sections that need rebuilding. Using the correct plaster where needed, I repair damage properly so it stays fixed long-term. It’s a simple way to give your space a clean, cared-for appearance without needing a full re-plaster.
Ceilings often show the first signs of wear, especially around joins or water-damaged areas. I can remove existing paper re-tape, skim, and smooth ceilings back to a high-quality paint finish so they look new again. Whether you’re fixing up a few small areas or refreshing the whole ceiling, I make sure every edge and surface is clean, sharp, and consistent. I also supply and install ceiling cove or square stop finishes for that crisp, modern edge. With a careful, tidy approach, you’ll be left with a ceiling that brightens the whole room.

James is a lovely guy who does excellent work. You can always rely on him to get the job done to a very high standard. Highly recommend.
Top quality job. Great communication and flexible timing. Also asked James to do a bit of extra plastering that wasn't part of the initial job and he managed to fit this in and it was no problem at all. Definitely recommend James.
Ginges Plastering Services were excellent to deal with, very professional and experienced and completed the job in the time allocated and to a high standard. Would definitely recommend.
James did some work on our house and we were really impressed with the quality. He was reliable, easy to deal with, and the workmanship was spot on. Would happily recommend him.
We hired James and his crew to plaster our entire house during our renovation and he exceeded all our expectations. We had a few contractors all trying to get in at a similar time and James was very flexible in accommodating a start date to suit our timeline. He was very easy to get a hold of and would answer any calls or questions we had, making the process seamless and put our minds at ease. Very happy with the end product and we would recommend him to anyone needing plastering services!
If you’re planning a renovation, fixing up damaged walls, or starting a new build, I’d love to help. Give me a call or flick me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
