Default Binding caliper

I have a binding caliper at the moment on one side at front

Is there a solution to this or do i just buy a new caliper rather than mess about with it

Depends how old it is as to whether to mess with or not.
The seals are genrally square cut to effect knock back where brake piston/pad is pulled off the disc after application, but the seals go hard, pistons rust etc.
You can do DIY no problem parts can be got from the likes of BIGGRED.CO.UK, he is very reliable, and cheap as well.
