Kalai Re-tinning Service

Pure tin lining for any brass or copper pot

Send us any brass or copper cooking vessel - ours, or the kadai that came with your grandmother. We scour the old lining, heat the vessel over coal, and wipe on a fresh coat of 99.9% pure tin with nausadar and cotton, the way it has always been done.

Each piece is weighed in and out and returned with a dated kalai slip, so you know when the next one is due. Price is per vessel; add as many as you like to one courier.

    Two kadais, two generations, one kalai slip

    Sent my mother’s 1979 kadai and the one I bought here in 2022 for re-tinning together. Both came back in eleven days, silver inside, with the weight before and after written on the slip.

    Forty engraved katori sets, zero mistakes

    Wedding return gifts for my daughter’s sangeet. Names were engraved correctly on every set, deliveries split across six cities, and they sent a GST invoice the same day. The cotton bags were a nice touch.

    Proper copper bottle, learn the care

    Unlacquered inside, which is what I wanted. It does darken quickly - the weekly lemon-and-salt rub on the care card is not optional. The hammered finish hides marks well.

    The thali rings like a bell

    Ordered the matte kansa set for two. Heavy, beautifully turned, and it really does ring when you tap it. Dal tastes no different, but dinner feels like an occasion.
