Bathroom refurb - anyone interested in the job? Or a recommendation

I have a rental property and found out on Thursday that the tiles have blown and water is leaking into the property below from the shower over the bath. The company the letting agent called out have quoted for re-tiling and a total refurb, which they recommend. Tbh it is an old bathroom and pretty much in need of a refurb (as over 20 years old and been patched up too many time) and even just doing the tiling isn't straightforward.

Is anyone on here interested in the job? The toilet is separate, so just the bath (and shower over) plus hand basin, but all the walls are tiled so ripping it all out and starting again makes it more of a job. I can send photos

Edit - I've just realised this should have gone into Marketplace, but don't know how to re-categorise it

It's in Forest Hill

    Thank B, I'll contact him. All good thanks (apart from this!) - hope the same with you and the family. We must have a meet up at a game some time - maybe next time EL Del is back?

    El Del was over for the Fleetwood game as we did our usual away weekend a bit earlier than usual.

    Yes, all good here too, thanks.

    Does everything and specialises in refurbishment after place is vacated.

    His review average is 4.6 out of five, but it would have been all fives but for one awkward customer who blamed an old underfloor flood on him.

    Thanks. Do you know them? I thought it worth asking on here if anyone wanted the work, rather than just look at reviews for a stranger.

    There are tenants, but the whole bathroom (not toilet) needs striping out and a new one fitted

    Yes I know them, work out of the Bromley area.
    The great thing about Lee and his team is they can do absolutely everything in terms of a refurbishment from sourcing and fitting kitchens and bathrooms to doing a curtain rail and supplying curtains.

    Like others might suggest, get more than one quote.

    I wouldn't dilly dally too long. You have tenants & the downstairs property to think about. The longer nothing happens the bigger the problem. Are the tenants still using the shower?  What would you do if you were living there.

    I got a great rec from you years back Seth. Pete C. He was brilliant and so reasonable, an all rounder when we moved in to our house. Always grateful for that one.

    Oh yes, definitely. Of course I will ask the ones from the callout how soon it needs doing too - I'm pretty much thinking immediately. So this will limit who can do the job anyway. I confirmed the callout to check the situation within minutes of being notified of water dripping into the downstairs property and already asked the property affected be told I'm on it and getting it done asap.

    I just wanted to give someone on here the job if they were interested. Plus obviously, I want to get a few quotes as don't just want to reply on the callout people, as have had previous issues with companies used by the letting agent. A previous letting agent charged, or rather tried to charge me just for a quote for some work. I don't want the call-out company thinking they don't need to be competitive because the landlord isn't on-site etc.
