CONTACT · FIRST STEP
Tell me about your bathroom. A text is the easiest start.
I’m Ivan Bodnar, an independent home renovation specialist based in Melbourne. Send me a short message about the bathroom, where the property is and what you’d like to change. If it sounds like a good fit, we can arrange a free on-site assessment. You’ll be talking to me from the first message, and I’m the person who assesses the room and is responsible for the work.

PREFERRED · TEXT MESSAGE
0413 142 055
A text lets you send the details and a few photos in your own time, and I can reply once I’ve looked at them. Photos of the whole room, the floor and any problem areas are really helpful.
PHONE
If you’d rather talk it through, call between 9am and 6pm. If I’m on site and can’t answer, a text helps me get back to you with the context.
Email works well for longer descriptions or when you have several photos to share.
ENQUIRY · WHAT TO INCLUDE
A few details make the first conversation useful.
You don’t need a plan or a material list. Just tell me what the room is like now and what isn’t working for you. Whatever you send, I can only properly judge condition and scope once I’ve seen the bathroom on site. Final pricing then comes from a written quotation based on the scope we agree.
01 THE BATHROOM
Approximate size, age of the finishes, and whether it’s the main bathroom, an ensuite or a powder room.
02 CONDITION
Worn or damaged surfaces, cracked tiles, tired grout, an impractical layout, or any signs of moisture you’ve noticed.
03 WHAT YOU’D LIKE TO CHANGE
A full renovation, or something smaller. If you’re not sure which you need, this guide may help.
04 LOCATION
The property’s suburb or postcode. Brighton and the nearby suburbs are my focus, and I also work across metropolitan Melbourne.
05 TIMING
When an assessment would suit you, and any timing you’re working towards for the renovation.
FORM · ENQUIRY
Prefer to write it down here?
The form asks for your name, email and phone, the property’s suburb or postcode, and the service you need, which for most people is a bathroom renovation. It also asks about timing, so you can mention a preferred day for the assessment, and there’s space for a message about the room.
When you submit it, you’ll see a confirmation that your enquiry has been received. If you’d like to share photos, text them to 0413 142 055 or email them.
How your enquiry details are handled is explained in the Privacy Policy. Quotation and booking terms are in Quotation & Renovation Terms.
AVAILABILITY · HOURS
9am to 6pm, seven days.
Not a 24/7 call-out service.
I arrange assessments and schedule renovation work myself, around the projects I’m already working on. Weekend appointments or urgent work may be possible, depending on my schedule, but I can’t guarantee them. I don’t offer a 24/7 emergency service. If water is actively leaking or there’s an electrical fault, contact a licensed plumber or electrician directly.
Plumbing and electrical work in a renovation is always done by appropriately licensed specialists, and I may coordinate their involvement.
