The reseller, uk-cheapest does not respond to any support tickets or emails and I have contacted directly the registrar resellone.net to see if they can do somethin, but am getting no response from them either.
Don't they have a phone number? Generally, may be too late advice, Use a Rgistrar you can drive to.

DNS Stuff: DNS tools, DNS hosting tests, WHOIS, traceroute, ping, and other network and domain name tools. A tool you can use to print out information about your and their domains. They also have a forum.

I want to transfer them to a decent domain host like enom now, but I cant do that without the current reseller or registrar unlockig them and sending me authorisation EPP codes, which they arent doing.
Does you not have control over the nameservices yourself? Can you not log into an account and administer them yourself?

Yes, you can. There must be an authority in UK that you can contact. In the worst case:
  1. Send an email that you will post their names on different forums on the internet.
  2. If that does not function, send an ordinary letter with the same information. If they still do not answer, contact a lawyer.
