Amelia WilliamsEver have a wall so lumpy you can’t even hang your Sabrina Carpenter posters? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But don’t give up on your walls just yet!
A good plaster job can totally fix that uneven mess (and it’s something you’ll want to do before painting).
To save you the hassle, we’ll hook you up with the best plasterers in Auckland who know how to get the job done right. And hey, maybe it’s the perfect time to add a few cornices while you’re at it. Some of these pros can handle that too.
How much does plastering cost in Auckland?
Plastering in Auckland usually costs between $35 and $75 per square metre for indoor work and around $45 to $90 per square metre for outdoor walls. The price depends on the size of the area and how easy it is to access.
1. Absolute Plasterboard Services Ltd
Address: 70 Cedar Heights Avenue, Massey
Phone: +64 22 390 8070
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7 AM – 5 PM
Most plasterers stick to one thing, but Absolute Plasterboard Services seems to do it all.
Besides smoothing walls and ceilings, they can also create fancy cornices and coving that give old homes a bit of character.
Their ornamental plastering is impressive. We looked into their portfolio, and their works are decorative and detailed.
We also liked how seriously they take surface preparation. Their team goes the extra mile. They strip away old textures, clean thoroughly, and make sure every surface is smooth.
They’re also great at ceiling transformations, especially turning those dated textured ceilings into modern finishes.
As a team, we found them to be incredibly versatile. They move between interior and exterior work and can take on both small residential jobs and large-scale projects with the same level of professionalism.
Customers we heard from echo this. Many said they were so happy with the results that they’d hire the team again without hesitation.
We wished they offered a price guide, though. They do free quotes, which is great. But for people who like to compare costs right away, a general price range would make things a bit easier.
We’d use them again without hesitation
“Highly recommend Taza and Mathew – delivered outstanding results on our small laundry job. The guys are total professionals, communicate well, and we’d use them again without hesitation.”

2. A5 Interior Linings
Address: 15 Tuck Nathan Drive, Glen Eden
Phone: +64 210 430 518
Business hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 8 AM – 5 PM
Most of the customers we spoke to couldn’t stop praising how reliable and easy the A5 Interior Lining team is to work with. You call, they show up, and the job actually gets done when they say they will.
One customer even said their ceiling looked brand new after being re-plastered. Another was impressed at how quickly A5 handled a surprise mould issue during a bathroom renovation.
That’s what impressed us. They didn’t panic, didn’t push back—they just got on with it.
The real charm is how communicative and friendly the team seems. Everyone we came across mentioned how quick they are to reply and how smooth the whole process feels.
And when it comes to results, their plasterwork has that clean look that instantly freshens up a space.
We’ll admit, there’s one thing we wish they could improve, and that’s pricing transparency. They don’t list their rates online, which makes it a little harder to get a sense of the budget before reaching out.
That said, most customers agreed that the final bill was fair for the quality of work.
Good communication and workmanship
“Fabulous team. I needed some interior holes to be gibbed and plastered quickly before it was painted. They responded quickly, and the job was done pronto. Good communication and workmanship. Highly recommend”

Efficient, professional, and communicated well
“I had the A5 team come in for a full plaster and paint of a two-bedroom unit. Bashir and his team were efficient, professional, and communicated well. They managed to create a great finish even though they were working with our second-hand Gib. I highly recommend A5 for plastering and painting, and I’ll be using them again for future projects.”

3. North Harbour Plaster and Painting
Address: 8 Te One Place, Belmont
Phone: +64 21 255 8781
Business hours:
- Monday to Saturday: Open 24 hours
- Sunday: Closed
North Harbour Plaster and Painting doesn’t need flashy marketing to stand out—the way people talk about their experience says it all.
From what we’ve gathered, Simon, who runs the business, is incredibly reliable. He turns up when he says he will and finishes right on schedule.
Clients also appreciated that he kept them informed and addressed challenges without fuss.
One of the big pluses is that Simon takes care of both plastering and painting. You don’t have to juggle multiple tradespeople, and everything will run more smoothly from start to finish.
The workmanship is also consistently strong. Simon’s work always has smooth and blemish-free finishes.
It’s also great to see that Simon goes beyond the basics. He handles wall repairs and even flood damage restoration. It shows he knows how to prepare surfaces properly for a long-lasting finish, not just make them look good in the short term.
That said, North Harbour seems best for residential or light commercial projects. Simon seems to run a small, hands-on business, so you’ll need to book ahead.
Positive attitude and easy to work with
“Great service, Simon completed the interior plastering for our home renovation on Waiheke Island. Great communication, a class finish, positive attitude and easy to work with. Would recommend for anyone who needs interior plastering on a residential scale.”
Harry Macintosh, Google review
The plastering was done very professionally
“Simon was very prompt in replying to my request and gave me a time frame which he kept to. The plastering was done very professionally, and the finish looks really good on the walls. I would recommend Simon to anyone who wanted plastering and painting done.”

4. Unique Finishes Plastering
Phone: +64 210 844 3320
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 7 AM – 7 PM
The Unique Finishes Plastering team is a certified Ambitec installer. They’ve mastered the art of luxury plaster finishes—the kind you usually see in designer homes, boutique hotels, and magazines.
At the heart of it all is Gui, the man behind the company. He’s meticulous, hardworking, and by all accounts, a genuinely good guy to deal with.
Their lineup includes Venetian plasters, raw concrete textures, Japanese clay, and more. If you want walls with personality, they’ve got you covered quite literally.
They also stick to the best brands out there: Sto, Rockcote, Specialized, and Novacolor. The results are finishes that don’t just look beautiful, but you can feel them too.
One person even said their feature wall looked like something out of an award-winning interior design shoot.
Of course, quality like this doesn’t come cheap. They’re definitely on the pricier side, and that might be a dealbreaker if you’re just after a basic plaster job or trying to stay on a tight budget.
Gui and his team are the best
“This dude was fantastic! The team showed up and smashed the job; the finish was impeccable and very professional. My feature wall is definitely award-winning quality, and every single person who sees it asks who has done it. Gui and his team are the best.”
Marco Antonio, Google review
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Unique Finishes
“Gui from Unique Finishes has a real eye for detail, and all his work is top quality. He’s friendly, professional, turns up on time and does exactly what he promises. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Unique Finishes for all your plastering needs.”

5. Auckland Plastering Group Limited
Address: 97C Central Park Drive, Henderson
Phone: +64 800 274 475
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7:30 AM – 4:30 PM
- Saturday to Sunday: Closed
Right off the bat, what stood out is how organised and reliable Auckalnd Plastering Group is. They’ve got a big crew that can handle multiple projects without the usual chaos.
Their system runs like clockwork. Every project, big or small, gets the attention it deserves.
That’s probably why clients keep mentioning names like Grant, Aidan, and Saimon, saying they’re friendly, easy to deal with, and good at what they do. We’ve seen their work, and it’s the kind of finish that makes you want to touch it.
They offer different finish levels depending on your project, from Level 3 for behind-the-scenes areas to the ultra-smooth Level 5 that looks flawless under any light.
And because they use top-notch GIB products, you’re getting walls that stay looking fresh for years.
However, they’re not the cheapest plasterers in town. The extra cost makes sense, though, once you see how much smoother the process (and the walls) turn out.
Best in Auckland by a country mile
“I’ve used Grant, Aidan, Simon and the team on a few of my jobs now and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a professional and friendly GIB fixing, plastering and painting solution. Best in Auckland by a country mile, cheers guys!”
