Bathroom renovations in Brighton, starting at your door.

If you’re planning to update an existing bathroom in Brighton, the first step is a free on-site assessment with me, Ivan Bodnar. I’m an independent home renovation specialist with about 15 years of hands-on residential experience. I look at the room as it stands, tell you what I can and can’t see yet, and set out the agreed scope in a written quotation.

CONDITION

What an older bathroom usually asks of you

In established homes, an older bathroom may have dated finishes, worn grout, damaged surfaces or a layout that no longer suits how the room is used. Sometimes there are signs of moisture that need a closer look before anything else is decided.

On an established property, what’s behind the tiles matters as much as what goes on them. During the assessment I check:

the condition of walls, floors and existing surfaces
visible signs of moisture or past water damage
how the current layout works, and its practical limits
where licensed plumbing or electrical work is likely to be needed

Some issues can’t be confirmed until the old finishes come off. I’ll tell you plainly which ones those are. Not every worn bathroom needs a full renovation, either. Sometimes a repair or a cosmetic update is enough. Do You Need a Full Renovation? explains the difference.

ENQUIRY

Text, call or email me. Tell me about the bathroom, your suburb and what you’d like to change. Photos are helpful.

VISIT

We arrange a time for a free on-site assessment, depending on my availability. Weekend visits may be possible, but I can’t guarantee them.

SCOPE

We go through what you want from the room and what the existing conditions allow, along with anything that stays uncertain until demolition.

QUOTATION

You receive a written quotation for the agreed scope, and from there you deal with me directly through to completion. The full process.

LICENSED TRADES · COST · TIMEFRAME

Who does what, and what shapes the price

My own work focuses on bathroom renovation, tiling, flooring and surface work. I don’t personally carry out plumbing or electrical work. Where a renovation needs it, licensed specialists complete it, and I may coordinate their involvement. See Plumbing & Electrical Work by Licensed Specialists.

Cost and timeframe depend on the size and condition of the bathroom, how much demolition and preparation is needed, the materials you choose, trade coordination and anything uncovered once work begins. Any figure you hear before a written quotation is general guidance only. Work outside the agreed quotation isn’t automatically included. More detail is in What Affects Renovation Cost and Timeframe.

A short text with your suburb, a line about what’s bothering you in the room and a couple of photos is enough to get started. I’m available 9am–6pm, seven days a week. I don’t offer a 24/7 emergency call-out. For the full service, including what a renovation can include, read Bathroom Renovations in Brighton, Melbourne.
