Bathroom Suite - where to source

We have a builder we trust to install our bathroom once we have picked it.
I am looking online and in brochures at Kartell, Tavistock, Victoria Plum and Howdens.
Does anyone have any experience fitting a bathroom from these or similar companies who can advise on quality? I do not want to be looking at cracked, swollen or chipped bathroom furniture in a few short years, would rather pay more upfront as long as it is actually better quality.
Also need to pick tiles but assume Topps is fine for this, I think our kitchen tiles came from b&q.

@DavinaSmith How you getting on? We pressed the button on ours today. We are ripping everything out and starting again … under floor heating and humidity ceiling fan no less. Gone for Ideal Standard i.life basin and wc, Carronite integra eco bath and further future proofing with a walk in shower tray. Stopped short of high rise wc.

We have finished phase one so have a toilet and shower over bath. The whole wall behind the bath is tiled so we can take the bath away in future if we need to. We would be more likely to put a wet room in downstairs though.
Slight pause while the sink/cupboard unit is delivered. Nice to have a break from the noise and dust at the moment.
We are using the bath taps to wash hands and brush teeth. Luckily they are at the end of the bath so easy to teach.
