Refunds & Cancellation
Clear, fair rules for cancelling bookings and getting your money back.
Last updated: 15 September 20261. Cancelling a booking
You can cancel a booking at any time from your dashboard or Orders page. When you cancel before a provider is assigned, the cancellation is free and any payment is refunded in full.
2. Cancellation after assignment
Once a provider has been assigned, cancelling may incur a fee to compensate the provider for time already committed. The fee is shown before you confirm the cancellation.
3. Refund turnaround
- Online payments are refunded to the original payment method.
- Refunds typically land within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank.
- Cash bookings cancelled before assignment need no refund action.
4. Partial refunds & re-rating
If a job is completed but with an issue we cannot resolve, you may be offered a partial refund. Where a service is re-measured or adjusted with your agreement, you only pay the agreed amount for what was actually done.
5. Provider cancellations
If a provider cancels after assignment, Etsa will re-book you with another provider at no extra cost where possible, or refund you in full if the service cannot be delivered.
6. How to request a refund
- Open the order in your Orders page and tap "Request refund".
- Or message us on WhatsApp — our team answers within minutes.

7. Non-refundable cases
