Easy fix !
Remove caliper, push the piston back with a ''G'' cramp [ ''C'' cramp in  US] 
bleed funnel [ or soak up any spillage with a cloth].
Enlarge the two holes in the floating pad plate by a few  thou', and  gently 
radius the edge of the holes on each side, don't go mad, just take  the sharp 
edge off.
If the pads have worn at an angle, either face them flat on a linisher [  
wear a mask !}, or fit new linings.
Lubricate the pins with a smear of ''copperslip, or similar copper based  
grease, and reassemble.Pump the master cylinder / top up fluid until pads are in

contact with disc.
Job done ! 
Cheers,
Nev.
