For a given class X of T0 spaces the existence of a subclass C, having the same properties that the class of complete metric spaces has in the class of all metric spaces and non-expansive maps, is investigated. A positive example is the class of all T0 spaces, with C the class of sober T0 spaces, and a negative example is the class of Tychonoff spaces. We prove that X has the previous property (i.e., admits completions) whenever it is the class of T0 spaces of an hereditary coreflective subcategory of a suitable supercategory of the category Top of topological spaces. Two classes of examples are provided
