Johnson Suisse Bathtub Models

The two models take quite different approaches, one traditional and one contemporary, so the choice mostly comes down to style and how the bath sits in the room. Our full range of bathtubs covers more brands for comparison.

• Colonial: a colonial style freestanding bath at 1522mm by 755mm and 430mm high, with retro clawfoot support legs in a chrome colour and a generous 200 litre capacity

• Venezia: a wall faced freestanding bath at 1660mm by 800mm and 450mm high, with a convenient platform shelf and an approximate 425 litre capacity

• Tile lip: the Venezia has a tile lip on the wall side to improve waterproofing around the bath

• Finish: both models come in white, with the Venezia listed in gloss white

Johnson Suisse Bath Construction and Inclusions

Both Johnson Suisse baths share the same construction, which makes the comparison a matter of size and style.

• Material: Lucite sanitary grade acrylic, reinforced with fibreglass and polyester resins

• Waste and overflow: both include a chrome pop up waste and overflow

• Venezia waste: supplied with a 40mm PW8 flexible waste connector and a pop down plug, with a black pop down waste also available

• Optional waste: a 40mm waste is available as an option on both models

• Warranty: 15 years product replacement and 1 year parts and labour

The Colonial suits traditional and heritage styled bathrooms with its clawfoot legs, while the Venezia's wall faced design and platform shelf suit a contemporary layout where the bath sits against one wall.

At 1522mm, the Colonial suits a standard sized bathroom, while the Venezia's 1660mm length and 800mm width need a little more floor space. The Venezia also holds more than twice the water of the Colonial by listed capacity, which suits longer, more restorative soaks.

Johnson Suisse Across the Bathroom

Johnson Suisse also offers toilets, including the Listo and Avanzo smart toilets with 25 years on the vitreous china, so pairing a Johnson Suisse bath with a Johnson Suisse toilet keeps one brand across the room.

For brand comparisons, a Decina bathtub adds spa options, a Fienza bath covers solid surface and concrete designs, and a Kaldewei bath uses enamel steel. The wider range of freestanding bath styles covers more shapes and sizes, and custom package quotes bundle the bath, toilet and tapware together with trade and commercial pricing.
