START AT THE SURFACE — I’LL LOOK DEEPER ON SITE
If you’re thinking about renovating your bathroom, the first step is simply a conversation. Tell me a little about the room, what’s bothering you about it and what you’d like it to become. From there, I can arrange to come and look at it properly.
I’m Ivan Bodnar, an independent renovation specialist working in Malvern and surrounding Melbourne suburbs. You’ll be dealing with me directly, from this first enquiry through to the on-site assessment and the written quotation.

1 — SEND AN ENQUIRY
Only your name, email and a short message are required. Your phone number, suburb or postcode, a subject and any budget or timeframe you have in mind are optional, so add them if they help. In the message, describe the room in your own words. Is it tired and outdated, hard to keep clean, awkward to use or showing cracks, loose tiles or stains? Do you want a complete renovation or something smaller? You don’t need a budget figure to ask for a quote, because the quotation follows an on-site assessment.
Once you send it, you’ll see a message on screen confirming that your enquiry has been received.
