New rims, constant punctures - advice?

Total n00b to the forum, so hello.

I had new rims fitted about two months ago - DT Swiss R24 Spinline - and in the last week I've been getting constant punctures. Five in seven rides.

First seemed to be glass incident, second on the same ride possibly pinch. After the third just a day later I thought 'time to change the tyre!' New Gatorskin; bought a slightly wider one (25), as thought the existing (23) didn't feel right on corners.

Nope. Still getting punctures. And it is driving me insane. In.Sane.

What's the next step? New rim tape? I've never fitted it before, so I don't know what to buy, nor what size on those rims (website doesn't make it clear).

Any advice/help appreciated before I get full-on Saturday rage would be great. Ta!
