Who are these mythical high end retailers?
In the majority of town and cities, they simply don't exist. TPT are in direct competition with the DIY majors, in general they are cheaper, online cheaper still, independent tile specialists, competitive because they source direct from factories and move the stock less than TPT. In addition to the major online folks you listed, there are numerous others, it's so cheap to have an online presence. One of them offers direct from the factory pricing, bordering illegality but who polices the online space? No, I'm not naive in any way, the industry is harsh and demanding, as are the customers. It's widely recognised that UK isn't as prosperous as it was, so I believe more changes will follow
