Gib stopping and plastering for a small Glendowie bathroom

Summary

The customer needed gib stopping, plastering and sanding for a small bathroom (4.6m x 1.2m) plus an outer wall. The brief required materials to be provided by the contractor and allowance for 2–3 visits to let joints properly dry; the builder had also estimated the job at about $400. The site is half way down the beach access path to Karaka Bay, which affected how the team organised the visit. The job attracted four offers and the customer accepted an offer of $550. Initial hurdles included a new member not being able to share callout details and coordinating suitable visit times, but a site visit was arranged, a proper quote agreed and the work progressed over multiple visits to a paint-ready finish. The customer left a five-star review, describing the contractor as a “plaster master” and saying they’d call them again.
