If you were happy with the price when you ordered them what is the problem?

I bought a new kitchen sink and taps from n online source presuming that I was buying a British item as the manufacturer was registered in England.  

You presumed wrong, and there is nothing out there thats misleading you.

Tap Warehouse, Drench, Only Radiators, Butler & Rose etc are all brands of Beyond Retail... if you go to their website it lists all the brands that they operate. None of their sites that I've seen make any claims as to where the goods originate from and indeed if you have a conversation on their Live Chat they openly admit that most the goods come from the far east (though obviously yours is the middle east).

White labeling is a common thing in all aspects of business, this can be as simple as putting the same product in multiple different branded boxes or can be a manufacturer making a bespoke item for their partner. Just look at food recall notices like the one last week were Asda, Sainsburys, Waitrose and Co-Op all issued recall notices for products containing mussels... thats not because coincidently all four supermarket's factories have had the same problem but because they all pay the same company to make product under their brand for them.

The only issue you have here is that somewhere along the line they forgot to rebox the item from its manufacturer box to the Butler & Rose box. Anything else is your wrong assumptions and not doing any homework if things like place of manufacture is important to you.

Dyson is a UK brand but makes most of its products in Asia, Apple is a US company but I don't think they make anything in America.

Apple doesnt make much of its own product at all, most is outsourced to Foxconn who's main manufacturing base is in China but also has a major plant in India and lots of other plants in the far east (its a Taiwanese company). 

The Mac Pro for the USA market is "made" in Texas, came to light recently as the first machine made from the facility was given to Trump during his tour after it was switched back from China. In reality complex electronic devices are assembled from parts made by many different companies and so the "made" really means assembled as the Intel processor will have come from wherever Intel does it manufacture, similarly the AMD graphics card etc
