Other home improvements, same hands-on approach
Most of my work is bathroom renovations in Brighton and the surrounding suburbs. I’m Ivan Bodnar, an independent home renovation specialist in Melbourne, and I also take on other residential improvement work. If you have a job in mind, ask me whether it suits my availability.

Taken on depending on my schedule and whether the project suits the way I work. Bathrooms stay the priority.
A smaller part of the work. The same approach.
Each job starts the same way as a bathroom renovation. We talk it through, I look at the space, and the agreed scope goes into a written quotation. Work outside that quotation isn’t automatically included. Cost and timing depend on the existing property, the materials you choose and the agreed scope.
Kitchens and laundries
These rooms are used hard, a lot like bathrooms. Surfaces, layout and wear all need a practical look before anything is replaced.
Flooring, plastering and painting
Surface work is close to the core of what I do. My experience is mainly in tiling, flooring and surface preparation, so these jobs build on the same skills.
Decking, pergolas, fencing and outdoor improvements
Outdoor work is available on request. It suits homeowners who would rather deal with one person they already know than find someone new for a separate job.
Kitchens and laundries often need plumbing or electrical work.
I don’t personally do licensed plumbing or electrical work. Where a job needs it, that regulated work has to be done by appropriately licensed specialists, and I may coordinate their involvement. Read more about plumbing & electrical work by licensed specialists.
Three questions worth settling first
Is my job a good fit?
Tell me what you’d like done, where the property is and what condition the area is in. Photos help. I’ll tell you plainly whether it’s work I can take on.
Can it be done alongside a bathroom renovation?
Mention it early. Whether the two jobs can be scheduled together depends on the agreed scope and my availability. Anything not in the written quotation isn’t included automatically.
How soon can you start?
It depends on my schedule. I’m reachable between 9am and 6pm, seven days a week. Weekend appointments or urgent work may be possible, but I can’t guarantee them, and I don’t offer a 24/7 emergency call-out service.
