I believe the answer is:

scrapheap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'refuse to be seen here' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'refurbished ca perhaps' is the wordplay.
'refurbished' indicates an anagram.
'ca'+'perhaps'='caperhaps'
'caperhaps' is an anagram of 'SCRAPHEAP'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scrapheap that I've seen before include "Waste pile" , "Pile of discards" , "Junk" , "metal tip" , "To which old iron is consigned, for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
