09 · MAIN RENOVATION SERVICES · MURRUMBEENA AND MELBOURNE
I’m Ivan Bodnar, an independent home renovation specialist working as a sole trader in Melbourne. Bathroom renovations are my main focus; kitchen and laundry renovations use the same skills. Bathrooms sit first on this page because tiling, flooring, surface preparation, plastering and painting all meet in one small, hard-working room.

MAIN SERVICE
Murrumbeena and across Melbourne. I handle the tiling, flooring, wall preparation, plasterboard, plastering and painting myself. The scope depends on what the room’s condition shows once it’s inspected.
RELATED SERVICE
Splashback tiling, flooring, wall repairs, plastering and painting around the kitchen. Any plumbing, electrical or other regulated work is carried out by appropriately licensed specialists.
RELATED SERVICE
Laundries are smaller, but the floors and walls still take water and wear. The same preparation, tiling and finishing apply, with licensed trades brought in for regulated connections.

FIELD 02 · SHARED SKILLS
A bathroom brings together all of my hands-on work: tiling, flooring, surface preparation, plasterboard installation, plastering and painting. A kitchen uses the same skills on the splashback, floor and walls. A laundry uses them on floors and walls that take water and wear.
In each room, the preparation under the finish matters just as much as the finish you can see. What the job actually needs depends on the room’s condition once it’s inspected.

FIELD 04 · QUESTIONS
I have work in more than one room. Which should I mention first?
Start with the room you most want done, then list any others you’re thinking about. For each one, give a short description of the work, and include your suburb at the top.
My job is a kitchen or laundry, not a bathroom. Is that still worth raising?
Yes. Bathroom renovations are my main focus, but kitchen and laundry renovations use the same tiling, flooring, surface preparation, plastering and painting skills.
Does the room I raise first change the price?
No. Each quotation depends on the assessed scope, materials, existing conditions and other requirements specific to the project, not on the order you list the rooms in.
What if the room needs plumbing or electrical changes?
Mention it in your message. What’s needed depends on the room’s condition, and regulated components are handled by appropriately licensed specialists where required.
Why does preparation get so much attention?
Because good preparation matters just as much as the finish you can see. Why preparation matters →
