It employs 151 people across sites in London, Wiltshire, Greater Manchester and Yorkshire.
The group distributes branded bathroom, shower and plumbing products as well as manufactures its own product line.
Following a challenging trading period, FRP was commissioned to run an accelerated sales process.
The joint administrators completed the pre-pack sale of the group and its assets to Halifax-based Roxor Group, which has traded for more than 30 years.
The agreement sees the preservation of all employees jobs and will ensure continuity for customers of the Robert Lee group of businesses.
Restructuring advisory partner at FRP Anthony Collier said: “Robert Lee was a firmly established operation, managing more than 30,000 product lines to a loyal customer base.
“However, it was not immune to the economic pressures felt across a range of sectors in recent years.
“We’re pleased to have found a high-quality buyer in Roxor Group, preserving the heritage of the business as well as a large number of jobs across the country.”
