SERVICES · ONE INDEPENDENT SPECIALIST
Renovation services, led by bathrooms.
I’m Ivan Bodnar, an independent home renovation specialist based in Melbourne. Most of my work is practical bathroom renovation for homeowners in Brighton and the surrounding suburbs. Whichever service you need, you deal with one person. I assess the room, write the quotation and take responsibility for the work I carry out.

01 · PRIMARY SERVICE
Bathroom renovations in Brighton, Melbourne
This is the work the rest of the business is built around. Bathroom renovations suit homeowners whose bathroom has become outdated, worn, hard to keep clean or no longer practical for the household. The usual starting points are dated finishes, damaged surfaces, an awkward layout, tired materials and signs of moisture.
Depending on the agreed scope, the work begins with a discussion and an on-site assessment. I review the bathroom’s condition and its practical limitations, then plan tiling, flooring and surface work to suit. You end up with a bathroom renovated to the agreed scope, with updated finishes and improvements that fit the way you use the room.
02 · SCOPE: FULL STRIP-OUT
Complete bathroom renovations
When problems go deeper than the surface, a complete renovation lets them be dealt with properly. A complete renovation strips out the existing finishes and fittings, prepares the walls and floors properly, and rebuilds the room with new surfaces and a layout that works. Once the old tiles come off, the condition underneath can change what’s needed. I tell you straight away what I’ve found and how it affects the agreed scope.
03–04 · BEFORE & DURING
Written down. Done by the right people.
03 · QUOTATION
Free On-Site Assessment & Written Quotation
I don’t publish prices for bathroom renovations, because two bathrooms are rarely the same. I come out and look at yours for free, and I explain what I can assess and what is still uncertain. The agreed scope then goes into a free written quotation. Any figure discussed before that is general guidance only. Work outside the written quotation isn’t automatically included.
04 · LICENSED TRADES
Plumbing & Electrical Work by Licensed Specialists
I don’t personally provide licensed plumbing or electrical services. Most bathroom renovations involve some regulated work, and that work has to be done by appropriately licensed specialists. Where it’s needed, I can coordinate their involvement so it fits around the rest of the renovation, and you still have one main point of contact.
RESPONSIBILITY
One person, start to finish
I learned renovation work alongside my father, then built my skills with tradespeople and renovation teams. That adds up to about 15 years of hands-on experience, mostly in bathrooms, tiling, flooring and surface work. I now work independently so that you can deal directly with me. The person who quotes your bathroom is the person responsible for the work.

BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
Read first, then text
I work across metropolitan Melbourne, with a focus on Brighton and the surrounding suburbs. Costs and timeframes depend on your property, the materials you choose and the agreed scope. Weekend or urgent work may be possible by arrangement, but it isn’t guaranteed, and I don’t offer a 24/7 call-out service. When you’re ready, send a text with a few photos of the bathroom, or use the enquiry form.
